Sharepoint archiving - re-indexing crawl in Sharepoint
Hi everyone. I just wanted to pick everyone's brain about something. Say we archive a few TB worth of Sharepoint documents and they all get replaced by shortcuts. My understanding is that during its re-indexing crawl, the Sharepoint server will reach to every archived document on EV and bring it over to be indexed (I am not talking about EV indexing but rather SP indexing). I guess an incremental crawl is not a big deal, but every once in a while Sharepoint needs to perform a full crawl, which means a few TB worth of data will be pulled from EV and dragged across the network back to the Sharepoint server for indexing purposes. I can't see how this is feasible. The full crawl will take weeks and may kill the network.Solved510Views13likes2CommentsInstalling EV Domino Gateway (EVDG) on an existing EV server
Hello, Has anyone ever configured an EV Domino Gateway on a server that is already running Enterprise Vault? To clarify the situation: I have existing EV solution for FSA and Exchange mailbox/journal archiving I now want to add Domino mailbox and journal archiving to the existing EV environment I want to configure one of the existing EV servers as the EV Domino Gateway The Symantec documentation states the following: "On the computer that will host the Enterprise Vault Domino Gateway, do the following: Install Domino server binaries and configure the Domino server Install Lotus Notes client binaries and hotfix, and configure the client. Use the ID file that you want to use for Domino archiving. After you have completed these tasks, you can install Enterprise Vault and perform the initial configuration." I would like to avoid adding an additional server just for the EVDG or performing a re-install of one of the existing EV servers. The plan! Is it possible to do the following without breaking the existing EV server: Install the Domino server and client binaries as per the pre-requisites on the existing EV server Run the EV binaries again and add the EVDG components Configure Domino mailbox and journal archiving as per normal Thanks in advance.Solved2.5KViews5likes10CommentsEnterprise Vault Expiration process
We currently use Managed folders in exchange, let me be clear not Exchange manged folders but folders that we created through a utility that we then use EVPM to set a retention period on. We have setup the Managed folder utility so that it will create default folders based on your department/title. Some of the defaults are general correspondence, 1 year - Project updates, 2 years. The default folders are automatically pushed to the users mailbox, if they have additional requirements they can request additional folders with different retention through the managed folder utility. Once the folders are created a EVPM file is created and automatically ran that will assign the proper retention to the folders. This way when a user moves email around their mailbox they can change the retention based on what folder they place theemail in. If the user does not move the item and they leave it in their mailbox it will be archived at 30 days with a 90 day retention. IN short if the user wants to keep emails longer than 90 days they MUST take action and move it to the proper folder. Here in lies the problem that I am curious if anyone out that has noticed. We have over 200 millions emails archived in the vault and all of the corresponding shortcuts in the users mailboxes. The users constantly have access to move the emails around and thus change the retention. the fact that we have so many shortcuts in the mailboxes means that it takes 2-3 days to process 3500 mailboxes per exchange server. when expiration comes around it DOES NOT check where the shortcut is and it just expires based on what the Database says. so the end result is that items which should be retained are being expired. Orphan shortcut cleanup process then comes around and within 2-3 days removes the orphaned shortcut. Has anyone noticed this behavior in their environment?1.6KViews5likes5CommentsVault Cache and Virtual Virtual
I have seen a Symantec flashdemo on Virtual Vault by Alex Brown and it seems it's a good feature to enable on EV to give end-user a good experience. I would like to know if anyone out there used this feature and how popular or practical is from user's archive administration point of view. What are pros and cons. Currently we implement archiving using the normal way by using tasks and policies and at night archiving run starts and then backup take place. If you implement Vault Cache will EV leave any archive data on the user's local machine.Solved1.1KViews4likes7CommentsImport PST's into EV 10.4
I am implementing a new EV environment for Exchange 2013. I have a lot of users who have been exporting email to PST's for years. I would like to have import that email into EV. Is there a clean way of doing that? I could have users import email back into their mailbox but then that would take user involvement. I was hoping to be able to scan directories and have EV pull in the PST's automatically.Solved1.6KViews4likes5CommentsHow do you find what objects have been retrieved from the Archive in the last 48 hours?
I'm new to EV (inherited it last month) and we just had an issue where an FSA protected volume suddenly lost 250GB of spaceover the weekend. We show that no one added that much data to the volume so the only explination we can come up with is someone or something triggered a restore from archive for the 250 GB. Being new to EV, however, I can't figure out how to prove this or find what person or process casued it assuming it was EV. I've looked at the reports and they seem weak on this type of need and I found out we do not have auditing turned on. Can anyone help?

Hi, Can anyone share what is the best pratice to do after you archive the Exchange Server mailboxes with EV according to this article (http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?page=content&id=TECH67757) ? Do you still keep it or can you safely delete it from the Exchange Server which will means it deletes the AD account as well. I've never delete all of my Exchange Server mailboxes in the company before because i do not know what or how to access the archived email from the EV console. Any kind of help would be greatly appreciated. ThanksSolved1.4KViews4likes5CommentsWhat happened to the "Items archived by Enterprise Vault" when I export my Outlook PST ?

I have an EV mailbox archiving server and anexchange server in domain Aand recently installed a newExchange server in domain B. Domain B mailbox are being archived over the Cloud.

Hello I am having a problem with indexing and the amount of disk i/oit generates on the back-end storage. I havea system withsevenexchange servers spread across 2 archive boxes (we have a seperate journal and File archiving servers) we orginally only had one archive box but due to the processor usagebeinghighconstantly, we needed to split the archive jobs acrossonto asecond server. This resolved the processor issue. however althougth the jobs were moved the indexing seemed to remain on the orginal server. is there a way i can cluster the two archive servers to properly split theindex tasksor move the archives for the jobs i moved to the second box to be indexed there and not on the first box ?Solved731Views3likes3Comments
