Enable Mailbox

[Carmila_Fresco]

I'm trying to enable a mailbox for archiving. We don't have the enable new mailboxes for archiving set up yet. For some reason, I don't see the mailbox that I would like to enable. Does it pull the list from AD or does it synchronize it at a scheduled time?

Sorry, I'm new to this and I'm just finding my way around.

Thanks,
Carmila

The list is sync'd by the archiving task/service - initially if it has not sync'd before it will do it on start up. After the syncs are done at 12 and 12.

Do you see any errors or problems related to the archiving task/service?

No errors whatsoever. Anyways, I ran a manual synch and it came up.

Thanks! :)

This is frustrating sometimes, a manual sync doesn't always make the mailbox come up. When I get this now I just use an EVPM script to enable them:



DirectoryComputerName = 'KVS Server'
SiteName = 'Your KVS Sitename'


DistinguishedName = /O=whatever/OU=HGH CC VA/CN=RECIPIENTS/CN=WHOEVER


Name = mailboxroot
Enabled = true

As long as you can get the DN of the user it will find them. Or just set it to all and enable the entire Exchange server in one shot (I typically run this after I enable an entire server just to make sure no users missed getting enabled).
