A provisioning group
enables you to apply a desktop policy, a mailbox policy and a PST
migration policy to a group of Exchange Server users. These
policies control the users' desktop settings and the criteria for
selecting what is archived and the manner in which it is
archived.
The desktop policy enables you to control settings
such as the following:
-
The visibility of menu options and toolbar buttons
in the Enterprise Vault clients for Outlook, OWA, and Mac OS X
-
Shortcut deletion behavior
-
Settings that affect Web-based search behavior and
option visibility
-
Vault Cache for Outlook configuration settings
The mailbox policy enables you to control settings
such as the following:
-
The message classes that are archived
-
The age and size of items that are archived
-
Whether to create shortcuts to archived items
The PST migration policy enables you to control
settings such as the following:
-
Whether to restrict the search for PST files to
users' Documents and Settings
folders
-
Whether to create shortcuts in users' mailboxes to
items that have been migrated
-
Whether to delete PST files after migration
Additionally, the
provisioning group specifies the default Retention Category to use
for items archived from the mailboxes in the provisioning
group.
You can have a single
provisioning group, comprising the whole Exchange Server
organization, or many provisioning groups.
You can select mailboxes to associate with a
provisioning group using any of the following:
