Powershell in EV - How to report in a User is enabled for archiving ?

As above ive found very little about any EV CMDLETs, i would like a simple or even complex command where it can take a username and look over our cluster of EV servers to see if that person is enabled for archiving.

 

TIA

I think you can get this from SQL. It is not a powershell command yet I believe.

something like 'use EnterpriseVaultDirectory

select MbxDisplayName, MbxAlias, MbxNTUser, MbxNTDomain, MbxArchivingState

from ExchangeMailboxEntry

Where MbxDisplayname like '%part of displayname%'

--

mbxarchivingstate 0 = not enabled

1 = enabled

2 = disabled

check to see if mbxarchivingstate = 1 for the user you look for.

Thanks, was hoping to build a tool that could ADHOC report this.  SQL isnt the best option for this i guess

Why not, I have also build a tool that queried the EV SQL Server for different checks.

Just don't query to many things to not burden the sql to much.

Hi Gertjan,

the tool is actually in testphase and not everything is finished.

I would not like to post incomplete/unoptimized scripts, as they can lead to confusion or failures

They checks I do are mostly for maintainance and reporting to management.

Optimally this tool would be everything the customer needs to know/do with EV.

 

At the moment I mainly use SQL and Archiving Report.

The start gui is a check of EV environment: (management/savings)

1. did archiving run on server X. (green/red)

2. how high is the compression rate for archived files (%)

3. What are the most archived filetypes by volume (List of Filetypes)

4. how many items are unsecured (number)

5. where there problems with the Journal (green/red)(network/Service/Eventlog)

 

Second page will be for daily EV tasks 

1. activating AD users/groups by typing the name

2. Eventlog Warning comon mistakes (green red) + solution

3. Errors/not provisioned Users/Pending Items. (green/yellow/red)

4. migrate PST to user.

5. Most Important information of a User X. 

6. Fragmentation Warning of EV databases (EV Status seems inaccurate, green/red)

 

and a few other things...
