Enterprise Vault 10.0.4 with CHF2 wtih Exchange 2013 SP1

[Ajayhunt]

Dear All.

We have exchange 2013 SP1 in DAG cluster and we are setting up new EV 10.0.4 with CHF2. When i try to run SetEVThrottlingPolicy.ps1 against new created vault service acount it always says sysntax error saying said user dont have a mailbox. I tried running on all db server. Our envirorment:

2 Server exchange 2013 sp1 DAG

i am creating VSA in one of the database which is part of DAG (we have 4 DBs setup in DAG)

Do we need to create this mailbox on non-dag dbs..

Please guide as nothing seems to be helping

The Vault Admin account needs to have a mailbox that resides in the Exchange 2013 environment.
For exchangee 2007 , you never needed the EVAdmin to have a mailbox, but for Exchange 2010 and 2013, one is required to run the throttling and permissions scripts correctly.

So simply create a mailbox for the VSA in the Exchange 2013 environment, if one exists in the Exchange 2007 environment, simply move it to Exchange 2013, it won't break any of the Exchange 2007 functionality
