Hello all
I created a script below:
[Directory]
DirectoryComputerName= evsrv
SiteName = evsrv1
[Mailbox]
ProvisioningGroup=Express Provisioning Group
[Folder]
Name= \Forever Vault
NonDeletable=True
retentioncategory=Default Retention Category
I also have 2 provisioning group i want to put here so all mailboxes will be included. I just want to create a Forever Vault to all mailboxes. Will this work?
Additional Info: We are running Exchange 2010 with DAG. 2 mailbox servers and 2 CAS/HUB. Please help. Thank you.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Should work, but i think you will want to add OverrideArchiveLocks and put in a filter for the script too and apply it to the folder

Below is what i got so far according to what was mentioned above. Please let me know what you think. thank you.
[Directory]
DirectoryComputerName= evsrv
SiteName = evsrv1
[Filter]
Name = Filter1
CreateShortcut = true
DeleteOriginal = true
UnreadMail = true
UseInactivityPeriod = true
InactivityUnits = days
InactivityPeriod = 999999999
[Mailbox]
ProvisioningGroup=Express Provisioning Group
[Folder]
Name= \Forever Vault
FilterName = filter1
NonDeletable=True
retentioncategory=Default Retention Category
OverrideArchiveLocks = true

I forgot to ask. how will you run this script?
evpm -f \\servername\share\evscript.ini
is the above ok?
Thanks again.

So with that Inactivity Period nothing in that folder will ever be archived. Retention is controlled by the Retention Category, so you would need to create a Retention Category with a Forever setting.
retentioncategory=Forever Retention Category.
and to run the script it would be
evpm -e ExchangeServer -m SMTP:EVSystemMailbox -f \\servername\share\evscript.ini
I have never tried with a share for the file name. I typically use C:\EVPM_Scripts\evpm.ini

Thank you for the reply. My Default Retention Category is configured to be my Forever Vault. Do i just delete the filter part?
04-17-2012 05:34 PM
Yes, the filter is if you want items to be archived by different settings than your mailbox policy.
You might want to create a different retention category because if you decide to change the default retention period it would affect this folder.

So below is my final script. Please let me know what you think. Thanks much.
[Directory]
DirectoryComputerName= evsrv
SiteName = evsrv1
[Mailbox]
ProvisioningGroup=Express Provisioning Group
[Folder]
Name= \Forever Vault
NonDeletable=True
retentioncategory=Default Retention Category
OverrideArchiveLocks = true

In addition, do i have to run this script everytime i add a new user in Exchange? or is it automatic?
04-20-2012 01:18 PM
It looks ok to me. You will have to run the script either manually after you enable a user or set it up to run via a schedule task.

Coolness..thank you...

I forgot to ask, when i put items inside the forever vault folder, how do i know that its being archive by enterprise vault? Will it have EV icon on the items? I tried it out and when i put emails in the folder, the mail icon did not change. Even when after running the tasks. Please share some info. Thank you.

That will depend on your archive rules from the Mailbox Policy. What is set on your Archiving Actions tab?
If that is already set correctly then you may not be deploying the forms locally. Article URL http://www.symantec.com/docs/HOWTO56714

Thank you. I will try it out.
04-26-2012 12:20 PM
If i were to re-write my script for a single user, what will i need to change?
04-26-2012 12:39 PM
From:
[Mailbox]
ProvisioningGroup=Express Provisioning Group
To:
[Mailbox]
DistinguishedName = /o=First Organization/ou=First Administrative Group/cn=Recipients/cn=yourUser
