Defining mailbox archiving policies

Exchange mailbox policies define how Enterprise Vault archives target Exchange Server mailboxes. You can create different policies for different groups of mailboxes. If you wish, you can create a custom mailbox policy for each provisioning group.

A default Exchange mailbox policy is created in the Administration Console by the configuration wizard.

To view and modify the properties of the default Exchange mailbox policy

  1. In the Administration Console, expand your Enterprise Vault site.

  2. Click Policies > Exchange > Mailbox.

  3. Right-click Default Exchange Mailbox Policy in the right pane and select Properties. You can modify the properties of this policy, as required, and also create new policies.

To create a new Exchange mailbox policy

  1. In the Administration Console, expand your Enterprise Vault site.

  2. Click Policies > Exchange > Mailbox.

  3. Right-click the Mailbox container and select New, Policy to launch the new policy wizard.

    The new policy is displayed in the right pane.

  4. To adjust the policy properties, right-click the policy and select Properties.

To set a different policy as the default Exchange mailbox policy

  2. Click Policies > Exchange > Mailbox.

  3. In the right pane right-click the policy that you want to set as the default policy, and select Set as Default.
