Exchange Mailbox Policy: General

Name. The name of this policy.

Description. Optional text that you can change as often as necessary. This text is visible only to Enterprise Vault administrators.

Indexing level. Use this to specify how detailed an index Enterprise Vault is to create by default. The more detailed the index, the more complex the searches that are possible using that index. However, more detail also makes the indexes larger, so you have to balance the index size against the amount and type of searching that you expect users to do.

The size of the index increases going from Brief to Medium, and from Medium to Full. It is not possible to give an exact size for the index because the size depends on the data that is indexed.

The different settings probably behave as follows:

If you change this setting then to make the change take effect you must stop and restart the Exchange Mailbox Tasks that use this policy and also the Indexing Services.
