Where do the targets on tasks get populated from?

[MaykelF0209]

Tunning EV 10.0.4 on a DAG with 4 member servers all with active databases. 

When I check the Exchange Archiving tasks for one of the members it only shows 1 database.  Where does this get populated from? Can I add the other databases manually or by adding users from exchange of these databases in the provisioning task populates this entry?

As you can see I should be able to see many more active databases on this particualr arching task I don't.  When I add other users to the provisioning task they don't show up as avvailable when trying to enable them for archiving.  

When I run deployment scanner it doesn't show any issues with permissions.  

Any ideas regarding this matter?

Thanks

Hi Maykel,

The archiving task gets that information from the Exchange servers. How many mounted and active databases do you have on this Exchange Server?

Thanks for your reply but I performed a few tests and was able to determing that these task's tagets get populated after adding users to the provisioning groups depending on which member server of the DAG their database is.  

I added a few other users from other databases that were on other exchage servers and those target tabs were populated correctly.  

Thanks

Pretty sure its actually the Provisioning Task that looks at the Exchange server to determine which Mailbox Databases it hosts, and then updates the ExchangeMailboxStore table

You could run this query to see all the exchange servers and mailbox databases and how many users are assigned to each one.

USE EnterpriseVaultDirectory
SELECT T.Name "Task Name",
       ESE.ExchangeComputer "Exchange Server",
       EMS.Name "Mailbox Database Name",
       COUNT(EME.DefaultVaultId) "# of users"
FROM   ExchangeMailboxEntry EME,
       ExchangeMailboxStore EMS,
       ExchangeServerEntry ESE,
       ArchivingRetrievalTask ART,
       Task T
WHERE  EME.MbxStoreIdentity = EMS.MbxStoreIdentity
  AND  EMS.ExchangeServerIdentity = ESE.ExchangeServerIdentity
  AND  ESE.ExchangeServerEntryId = ART.ExchangeServerEntryId
  AND  ART.TaskEntryId = T.TaskEntryId
GROUP BY T.Name, ESE.ExchangeComputer, EMS.Name
ORDER BY ESE.ExchangeComputer, EMS.Name

That query is great.  Yes it confirmed what I stated above.  Thanks
