Hi folks,
We have started to use EVPM to enable mailboxes, as the number of users we add to EV continues to grows. At the moment, we enable the users, and apply our default mailbox policy to these newly enabled mailboxes. We also use PST migrations, where we replace the PST(s) with a folder called Enterprise Vaults within Outlook. However we have noticed, that many users are dragging mails into this Enterprise Vaults folder, thinking they offer the same functionality as a PST. Of course, some of them are starting to hit mailbox quota's, as any mail dragged into this folder follows the same archving rules as any other. So is it possible to:
1) Enable mailboxes via EVPM as we do already.
2) Carry out our PST migrations (which we do via site schedules and the console). This creates the Enterprise Vaults folder, and populates it with the content of the PST files.
3) Then run another EVPM script after the PST migration that will target the newly enabled users, and set the content of the Enterprise Vault folders to archive after one day e.g. if the user drags a mail into their Enterprise Vault folder, it is migrated at the next archiving run, thus acting like a PST, and keeping the quota down.
So we would like EV to target their Mailbox with our standard archving policy, but specify that a specific folder in this mailbox (Enterprise Vaults) is to follow a one day archiving policy. I know the user can do this manually using the EV user extensions, but to automate this would make our lives much easier.
Any examples, advice would be very much appreciated.
David
