For the people who have been with Enterprise Vault for a long time, and used Offline Vault, they will probably remember that when you enabled Offline Vault on an end-user machine you got to specify it’s maximum size. This has all been incorporated into other areas now, but the question arose the other day about this same thing. It’s internal name ie registry key name is OVStoreSize. The question is, how can I set that to be different to the policy ? (Given that the wizard doesn’t ask me during setup)
I did some testing yesterday (evening .. 3 very long hours!), and here is what I found out :
My VC policy says to allow up to 6 Gb.. so when VC starts to build for my first time I see the following :-
30/11/2011 20:00:34.546[2060][H]: OVSTORESIZE = 6144
30/11/2011 20:01:12.883[1080][H]: CONTENT:STORE: [Offline Config] Root Directory: c:\ovroot\manoj1\
30/11/2011 20:01:12.889[1080][H]: CONTENT:STORE: [Offline Config] Maximum Store Size (MB): 6144
Sure enough when finished, on disk, I have just over 1300 Mb of used space :-
I then did a reset.. re-opened Outlook, went through the VC setup Wizard, and then changed the OVStoreSize value using the File -> Enterprise Vault dialog. I then closed, and re-opened Outlook and let things take their course. I saw this :-

And on disk :-
So in the end you CAN still override the policy on a per user basis, using the GUI (or associated registry key). Of course you might not want to let users do this, or have that ability. You can hide the ‘Options’ tab using the Desktop Policy (which is where you change the maximum size using the GUI)
