how can I archive all messages in a mailbox when a user leaves?

[bruce_drenning]

I'd like to archive all the email for departing users, and then grant access to their archive for whoever requests it.

1. How do I archive all the messages (our default is 90 days)?

2. After I assign permissions to the archive, how can I make that take effect so the person who needs access to it can have it show up in their dropdown list of searchable archives right away?

thanks

After you assign permissions do a manual synch to propagate the perms.
you can use the following evpm script, remember you will need to either do a run now or what for the schedule archive for the actual archiving to occur.

;This Script will archive every item in the Mailbox
;If shortcuts are left over, that's because the item is already in the vault
;Start Script

DirectoryComputername =
SiteName =


Name = oneshotarchive
CreateShortcut = false
DeleteOriginal = true
UnreadMaiL = true
UseInactivityPeriod = true
InactivityUnits = days
InactivityPeriod = 0


DistinguishedName =


Name = mailboxroot
Suspended = false
Filtername = oneshotarchive
OverrideArchiveLocks = true
RetentionCategory = Business
;End Script
