We fairly recently updated Enterprise Vault for Exchange from 5.0 CP2 to SP5.
At this point it would seem that Deleted Items no longer archives.
We run EVPM to set Deleted Items to a 7 day inactivity and the script is
still running ok. I can check the properties of the other folders and all
the settings including the inactivity and retention category settings are
showing ok. The properties page for the Deleted Items just isn't there.
So far, I've done various digging around and haven't found much. It would
appear that there is a registry setting archivedeleteditems which is set
at HKLM\software\kvs\Enterprise Vault\agents which is supposed to enable
this functionallity but this doesn't work either. I also understand that
this is a legacy setting in version 6 and I cannot find any documentation
on this setting for our current version.
Pretty stumped at what to try next. Anyone got any ideas or should I just
forget about it until we get V6 installed?
Further to your comments Dave, I cannot see these events on the Vault server. I read about these on the support site on Monday and thought I'd cracked it, but there's nothing there. To confirm, do you mean Event ID 2236? Since your reply, I also tried moving my mailbox to an Exchange 2003 box we currently have running as part of our migration testing but I still cannot see the Enterprise Vault properties just on the deleted items folder. Is the DeletedItems keyword in EVPM still valid? Does Deleted Items vary at all from Sent Items because they are working perfectly. It's starting to look like a move to V6 is on the cards which I understand is quite a bit different..
