Outlook connection from EV server

Hello,

I was just wondering.

In our environment ( 8 EV 11.1 CU5 servers and 10 Exchange 2010 in a dag so 20 machines) .

I know we are planning the migration.

My question is regarding the outlook configuration on the EV servers.

Right now I have one system mailbox pro machine and the outlook profile on each of them is configured to use the system account.

Wouldn't it be more efficient to use the system mailbox in the outlook profile ?

Hello Sandrine,

I don't think it matters. I have Outlook configured to use the VSA, which doesn't seem to cause issues. What migration are you planning? EV upgrade or Exchange upgrade?

  Hello Gertjan,
  Thank you for your answer.
  We are right now migration from exchange 2010 to 2016 ( the reason of my question as we have old CAS).
  And planned is after to move to the newest version of EV ( at least 12.3).
  But as you know those migrations take time

    Sandrine, if you're going to 12.3 I advise you to have a look at SMTP archiving for Journal Archiving. We performed the same excercise a while ago, and we're now configuring SMTP archiving. SMTP Archiving is supposed to be a lot faster.
