Exchange Mailbox Archiving Report coming in 10.0.2- Give us your thoughts!
Hi, I'm very very happy to tell you of a great new feature we are delivering in Enterprise Vault 10.0.2. In this release we are delivering Exchange Archiving Reports which are generated whenever Exchange Mailbox archiving takes place.The reports are available during and at the end of the run. 3 reports are generated, brief, full and .csv. Each report will detail every mailbox on the Exchange server, and what archiving(if any) took place. Below is screenshot of a brief report and attached is examples of brief, full and .csv. The full report has many more columns, the .csvis a close representation of full butmeans you could put the data into excel if you wish and process it accordingly. In addition to these reports, a new event log entryis generated at the end of the run giving you a summary of what took place. The summary is also available from the properties of the archiving task and you can access these reportsvia that or on diskas well. If you take a look at theattach files you'll see that the fields all have "hover over" text explaining what they mean, in addition to this the report will link to a tech note giving further details. We are making final tweaksand would love to hear your feedback as soon as possible. Do you like it? does it have the content you want? do you understand the content, what questions might you have that we need to explain in a tech note? Pleasereply to this post with your thoughts.

Hello, lets say that in Desktop Policy we have a value "Users can decide" about their Vault Cache setup. Is it possible to find out, from an EV server side or from a SQL database, who has VC and who does not have? There is this tool: https://www-secure.symantec.com/connect/downloads/vault-cache-status-tool, but is not here something more integrated in EV today?

Hello, I have a customer who has the EV 10 FSA agent installed on a number of domain controllers. The customer has upgraded the EV server from EV10 to EV11. However, the FSA agent cannot be upgraded to EV11. The Vault Service Account is a domain administrator and also a member of the builtin\administrators group on the domain controller. The error received when trying to upgrade the FSA agent is: Product: Symantec Enterprise Vault - FSA Agent (x64) 11.0.0.1351 -- Windows Server 2008 or later is required on the file server. Note: The server (domain controller) that is running the FSA agent is Server 2008 R2. Note: The EV 10 FSA agent is continuing to archive data successfully to the EV11 server. If you have any feed back it would be much appreciated. Cheers, CameronSolved1.1KViews2likes8CommentsWindows Server 2012 R2 file server deduplication & EV 10/11 FSA archiving feature ?
Hi All, I'd like to implement the new EV v10 or even 11 later on to the newly build Windows Server 2012 R2 file server which is currently running with the de-duplication feature running. Does the EV File System archiving can still works as expected archiving old file based on the last access time stamp when the Windows Server 2012 R2 de-duplication feature turned on as well ? Do I need to set the De-duplication rule differently than the EV archive rule or can that be the same to archive & dedupe a file that is not accessed in the past X years ?Solved1KViews2likes6CommentsEnterprise Vault - PST Import button prompts for authentication
I am preparing for a company roll out of EV client and will be using the PST imnport feature. During initila deployment to 20 machines - 3 out of 4 users enabled for PST import are prompted for credentials when clicking the PST button in EV toolbar and also at intervals during normal Outlook usage. The one machine where this is working has allowed me to make a comparision of network streams using wireshark to analyse capture from netMon. The key seems to be that a session cookie is not being set on the machines that have this issue. The issue is machine based as it stays with the machine independent of the users that logs on. The below is a comparison of 2 tcp streams - the left one on 484 works and the cookie is being set - the right hand causes the authentication popup to be displayed and no cookie is set. I have checked all IE settings and permissions for cookies and removed all group policies from test machine& reset IE to Defauts etc.., but still get this issue. I am at a loss to find differences between these 2 test machines as they have the same build. Outlook 2010, EV 11, IE11 and IE9, Exchange 2013 (In exchange resouirce forest) Really need some help here!719Views2likes3CommentsIssue backing up EV9.04 with NBU 7.5
Hello, We are backing up our EV 9 with NBU 7.5, the following way: - using the EV agent to backup the indexes - using an MS-Windows policy to backup the Open Partition and triggerring the databases backup (sql dump) with the bpstart_notify. (We know this isn't ideal but we cannot use the EV agent for everything as our sql server is Win2K12 and still unsupported by NBU) We are doing a FULL BKP every weekend and a Differential inc daily. The issue we are having is that the daily diff backup of the open partition is "bigger" and "bigger" (volume and time) as long as the week goes. It seems to me like it backs up the same volume of data that's on the partition. We also get the famous "There are 477172 savesets that have not yet been backed up or replicated for Vault Store" msg. In the VaultStore properties, The last scan started shows yesterday after backup completed, but Last item Secured shows Saturday (4 days ago, after the FUll Backup completed) The VaultStore is configured to use the archive bit. I read that differential backups in NBU do clearthe archive bit correctly so I don't understand what is wrong. Many thanks in advance for your help and sorry for this somewhat long description.416Views2likes2CommentsCannot run FSA Reporting scan manually, how to DTrace an FSA File Server Target
Busy deploying FSA Reporting EV 9.0.2 EV Email Archving server with SQL DB for EV EV File Archiving Server hosting Vaults and Task for FSA Win 2008 Clustered File Server FSA Target. FSA Agent installed (manually on both nodes) Configured FSA Target Server, 1 Volume, 1 Archive point. Enable FSA reporting on FSA Target & Volume Hit Run FSA Reporting Scan on FSA Target Server in the EVAC. Nothing happens. Reporting status doesn't change, "Stop Scan" options remain greyed out. Follow FSA REPORTING Trouble Shooting guide. No Reverse DNS lookups, - fix that Try Again - no joy. Troubleshooting guide talks about running DTrace on the FSAReportingService - Where is this???? I don't see it on either of the EV Servers as an option in the DTrace list. They also mention DTrace on the "FSA Agent" Computer, and to "Enable DTrace for the FSA Reporting Service." AFAIK DTrace is installed as part of the EV server installation and is not present on an FSA AGent computer. There is no Enterprise Vault program folder in the Start Menu from which to run DTrace????
