Hi All,
I have two concerns on "Creating the Enterprise Vault system mailbox".
My Environment : Exchange 2010 (single server) , EV version 9.0.2 , SQL2008 as Database , Active Directory Server
All platforms : Windows Server 2008 R2
Question :
Enterprise Vault Service Account name : evadmin (In ActiveDirectory Server)
In my case "evadmin" user account has a respective mailbox in Exchange Server. Can I use that as the system mailbox instead creating a new mailbox in Exchange Server ?
way 1 : use evadmin account mailbox
way 2: create a fresh mailbox in Exchange
Which way is more appropriate in production ?
Thanks in Advanced

Ev need system mailbox just to hook up to the exhange server. The evadmin account should have send as receive as rights and the system mailbox should be on the exchange server for which the archiving task is created >
So you can just create a fresh mailbox in Exchange.

Hi Rahul,
Thanks for the quick reply.
I have just created a simple user mail box in Exchange server . (see screenshot)
"evadmin" has all permission set as per the document.Hope the new mailbox does not need any specific changes with respect to configuration except these :

Make sure you select the newly created mailbox when setting up the archiving task for the exchange server.

Hello,
I am also in the process of bringing online a new Exchange 2010 enviroment. I am a bit confused on the EV System Mailbox.
Exactly, how is his mailbox created? Do I create this mailbox through the Exchange Management Console or is it created in the EV Console? The ESA has its own mailbox that I will migrate first to the 2010 enviroment.
Also, when adding the Exchange server, do I follow these steps below?

The system mailbox is created on the Exchange side, just like you would create any other mailbox.
You can consolidate Steps 1 and 2 into 1 single step because as you are adding the Exchange server target you are prompted to create the archiving task.

THANKS.... Now I get it. The EV System Mailbox is just a mail enabled AD account. I wish the documentation would just say that which is much clearer.

One last question about Outlook on the EV Server. It is currently at Outlook 2003. Should I uninstall this client then install Outlook 2007 with hotfix KB968858 or can I just perform an upgrade?

I haven't read any of the recent documentation but I do know it can get a bit confusing on occasion. FYI, the EV System Mailbox should only be a Domain User. Happy archiving!!!!!!!
