How can you restore EV shortcuts/stubs and how can you view EV archive sizes?

[Sonic01]

Hi everyone,

I've got a couple of users who do not have the shortcuts/stubs for their migrated EV emails, this is because the person who did their EV pst import set the process to not create the shortcuts in their mailbox, they also set it to move the data out of the pst files so i cant just run the import again with the right settings.

is there any tool or any other option to recreate the stubs in the users mailboxes?

also my second question, can anyone tell me how to check the SIZE of a persons exchange mailbox archive?

Thanks guys,

Sonic.

Sonic,

1) Enterprise Vault does not have such a thing as stubs.... Its shortcuts. No you cannot create shortcuts if an item was archived without a shortcut.
2) Look in ESM, Exchange System Manager or use the SQL scrip bellow:

------------- Notes -------------
 
-- Get all List of all Archives and dispaly the following:
 
-- Mailbox
-- Exchange Server
-- Number of Items (Mailbox)
-- Number of (Archive)
-- Mailbox Size (MB)
-- Archive Size (MB)
-- Total Size (MB)
-- Archive Created
-- Archive Updated
 
-----------------------------------------------------------------
 
SELECT 
LEFT(MbxDisplayName,20) AS 'Mailbox',
ExchangeComputer AS 'Exchange Server',
MbxItemCount AS '#Items (Mailbox)',
VS1.ArchivedItems AS '#Items (Archive)',
MbxSize/1024 AS 'Mbx Size (MB)',
VS1.ArchivedItemsSize/1024 AS  'Archive Size(MB)',
(mbxsize+VS1.ArchivedItemsSize)/1024 AS 'Total Size(MB)',
VS1.CreatedDate AS 'Archive Created',
VS1.ModifiedDate AS 'Archive Updated', 
MbxExchangeState AS 'Exchange State'
 
FROM
EnterpriseVaultDirectory.dbo.ExchangeMailboxEntry AS EME,
EnterpriseVaultDirectory.dbo.ExchangeServerEntry AS ESE,
EVNAMEOFVAULTSTORE..ArchivePoint AS VS1
 
WHERE
EME.DefaultVaultID  = VS1.ArchivePointID AND
EME.ExchangeServerIdentity = ESE.ExchangeServerIdentity
 
UNION
 
same as above with EVNAMEOFOTHERVAULTSTORE..ArchivePoint AS VS2

Hi

Unfortunately, shortcut "rebuild" is not possible.
The easiest way would be to export the whole archive, delete it, and reimport it again...

Sorry!

For the archive size, visit http://<evserver>/EnterpriseVault/usage.asp or right click on your vault store -> usage

Cheers
