    Hi Josh,

    I have a workaround for this issue, but bear in-mind that it may not be suitable for your customer.  Here's what I do;

    1.  On the Dependencies tab of the "<ServerName> Enterprise Vault FSA" resource, include the "Enterprise Vault Directory Service".  This is important when the resource tries to come online (so it doesn't fail).

    2.  Create a batch file (i.e. stopFSAservices.bat) on your c drive with the following line;
    net stop "Enterprise Vault File Placeholder Service"

    3.  Create an event trigger on your EV cluster which responds to an attempted failover (as follows);

    eventtriggers /create /l System /eid 1203 /t INFORMATION /tr TriggerName /ru evserviceaccount@yourdomain.com /rp password /tk "c:\stopFSAservices.bat"

    NOTE:
    You will have to do this on both cluster nodes!

    Hope that helps with the issue?
