The system manager should have no problem with the Exchange Server running Exchange 2000. Remember, you are only installing the Systems Manager tools, not the complete server. Have you installed a MAPI client on the Enterprise Vault server? Make sure you have access (via a profile) from the server to the mailbox used for journaling. Finally, review the permissions of the EVault service account over the Journaling Mailbox. It should have full permisions, because you will read the messages and delete them latter.Re: Shrink SQL 2005 Transaction LogsLook into the Recovery Mode for the Database. It should be SIMPLE, not FULL. Also make sure you have a good backup ( daily! ) of your SQL Server. Take a look into http://support.veritas.com/docs/283402
