Importation of PST

Hello,

 

I am wondering if you guys could help me or point me in the right direction of "how to"

 

 

Im currently extracting our companyarchive from EV.Cloud using Discovery Archive.

As i am extracting these files into PST file format. As i am importing the PST into our new Enterprise Vaul 11 server, i am coming into an issue of previous members of staff that have left the company but due to compliance reasons they all have to be imported onto the new archive. Due to there names and email accounts have been removed from AD & Exchange, I have no way of placing them into EV11. Is there a way that this can be done without creating AD accounts and deleting them after i have imported their archived data?

 

Thanks in advance of your help and suggestions.

    You can create as many Shared Archives as you want in what ever naming convention you need.  Shared Archives do not need an Exchange Account.

    If you are importing for data retention/eDiscovery you can put the "orphaned" users into a shared archive, similar to having a Journal archive.

    Hi Tony,

     

    Thats great to hear it. Thanks for answering my question. I have just noticed the shared folder in the admin console.

     

    Thanks for confirming that you can have the correct naming conventions as the ex staff member. :)
