What Powershell commands would you like to see for Enterprise Vault

[Michael_Bilsbor]

Hi,

So a fairly common request is powershell commands for EV administration activities.  So that takes time so really we'd need to priortise it.  So what are the top 10 EV operations you'd like to be able to use Powershell for?

Cheers,
Mike

Hi Mike,

I'd like to see a cmdlet to place tasks in report mode, and restart them.
Preferably it should allow to define if you want to to a mailbox task or a journaling task (or fsa/sharepoint etc)

Thx.

Start & Stop Tasks
"Run Now" on Tasks
Enable user for archiving
Disable user for archiving
ZAP Mailbox
Migrate PST File
Change user's provisioning Group

Something like this :)

Cheers

cmdlet ' get coffee for overworked ev-admin' with " please "  option to speed up proces ;)

Kidding. Thanks Mike for looking into this.

[Michael_Bilsbor]

thanks for the feedback.  carry on!

Preferably integrate into policies / Provisioning groups, but if that's not possible then powershell replacements so it's much easier to automate.

Some monitoring stats via Powershell would be useful

Move archive via Powershell?

same as michelZ, import and export of PST's

+1

Also perhaps some "manual" archiving tasks (equivalent to right-click + archive)

Something like this would help us with processing terminated users by running a powershell script to empty the user's mailbox and then disable the mailbox

How about these cmdlets;

Get-ArchivingStatistics
Get-ArchivingStatus
Get-ArchivingHistory
Get-SiteName
Get-VaultStoreName
Get-Targets
Get-ProvisioningGroup
Get-ServiceAccount
Get-SQLServerName
......

Basically anything that is going to help us report on how EV is running.  The worst thing about this product is identifying (quickly) whether all the components are working as they should.  Ideally, a Get-OverallHeealthStatus would be great if it checked al components, from MSMQ through to SQL

Storage expiry run now but add the ability to specify (delete items older than specific date and time)

E.G Delete items older than Jan 1 2004 at 00.00.00.001

[ShadwSrch]

Get-Partition | Where-Object {$_.status -eq "Open"}

[MASIV]

Would like to see a powershell command to set the storage expiry option for individual accounts.  Setting or clearing the checkbox for "delete expired items from this archive automatically" on the Advanced tab of the Archive Properties box.

3. Create Vault Stores, Journal archives, etc

4. Add objects to PGs

5. Enable\Disable users

6. Create/Open/Close index locations

I would love it if we could get a list of open partitions. I could then use this in my backup script. I replicate the open partitions to another disk which is backed up by tape during the day. I have to modify my script to everytime I have a partition roll-over. Would save me from forgetting to update the script.
