    I think there is the possibility of a bug in the woodwork here...

     

    I first of all created a shared archive, and on the server with the archive (my all-new-second-EV server) I ingested a PST with 81 items in it, using EVPM on the server itself.

     

    All was good.  On the properties of the archive I see 81 indexed items

     

    I then ran a PST ingest from the first EV server, in to that same archive.

     

    The items have gone in to the archive, but not correctly...

     

    - I see them on disk on the first EV server.

    - I see badness in the index:

    28 missing items?  Guess what..  The PST import ingested 28 items!

    Oh and index rebuild of course fails, because there are >25 consecutive failures.

    Here is what I'd suggest...

    - Test it yourself, nice and carefully, like I've just done.

    - If it's the same then I'm sure that there is a bug amist this and we/you/I can raise it with SYMC.

Could some one confirm whether PST import can done only via the server which has the Vault store assigned ? We are wondering whether we could use the other EV servers (for ex. Journaling or MOSS archiving) to speed up the PST importing.
