Setting up Archiving and e-discovery on Enterprise Vault for Exchange

[skeeter_2012]

Hello --   I am trying to setup Enterprise Vault for Exchange in the following scenario.  I have both Enterprise Vault Archiver and Ediscovery.  My needs are as follows:

1.  Need to be able to log and retain all email that is sent to all users. 

        a.  Ideally we would like to have one copy on the EV archiver and one copy in Exchange.   is this possible?

        b.  Need to be able to log and search all email that is sent in.

2.  Need to be able to search all email that is sent as soon as it is received.

The solution is very simple.  You need to configure your Exchange for Journaling and set up EV to do Journal Mailbox archiving.  

A copy of every email sent/received would then be copied by Exchange to a separate Journal mailbox.  EV will archive the Journal mailbox every 90 seconds (or so).  All items that are in the Journal archive would then be searchable by Discovery Accelerator.

do you already have EV implemented and you're just changing the way it is configured? or are you starting from scratch here? it's critial that your EV environment is properly designed from the beginning.

thank you very much.  i've never set up journaling in exchange but i imagine google can help me there.  this is the exact solution i need if journaling works the way you say.

hello -- i am in the early implementation of enterprise vault.  currently we only have about 15 mailboxes being archived.  we are migrating our entire company this coming weekend so would love any instructions on setting this up correctly.

any guidance you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

thank you.
