Is having a dedicated journal mailbox server that houses only journal mailboxes for other mailbox servers a supported configuration when working with the Vault? While I wasn't planning on having all mailbox servers dump to just one journal mailbox I am interested in having a one-to-one ratio on the dedicated MB server (if possible). I have tried messing around with it in my lab and I can't see on how to add an Exchange server for journaling and mailbox archiving and being able to split the journal task to another mailbox on a test server.

i just added the server without the tasks. i then manually created the tasks targetting the journal mailbox on a different server. will this work?

This should work OK. We do journaling by Exchange database and send all journal reports to a series of mailboxes on dedicated servers.

Hi Monkeyboy9000
It is definitely possible to have a dedicated server for journaling. Do it with my customers all the time.
If your one EV server had to go down, the exchange journal mailbox will explode with email (depending on the rate at which you send and receive emails) which could bring down you exchange server. Now have dedicated server remove that single point of failure.
