Adding an Exchange Provisioning task

An Exchange Provisioning task is required for each Exchange Server domain. This task enables mailboxes in the provisioning groups that you have created.

You can add an Exchange Provisioning task manually, as described in this section, or you can let Enterprise Vault add one automatically when you add the first Exchange Mailbox archiving task.

You are recommended to run the Exchange Provisioning task as the Vault Service account. If you want to use a different account, the account will need to be added to the Messaging Administrator role.

In addition, if you are using Exchange Server 2007, use the Exchange Management Console to assign the Exchange View-Only Administrator role to the account that the task will use. For details of how to assign the Exchange View-Only Administrator role, see the section on assigning Exchange managed folder permissions in the Installing and Configuring manual.

To add an Exchange Provisioning task manually

  1. In the left pane of the Administration Console, expand the Enterprise Vault site hierarchy until the Enterprise Vault Servers container is visible.

  2. Expand Enterprise Vault Servers.

  3. Expand the name of the computer on which you want to create a provisioning task.

  4. Right-click Tasks and, on the shortcut menu, click New and then Exchange Provisioning Task.

    The new task wizard starts.

  5. Work through the wizard. You will need the following information:

    • The name of the Exchange Provisioning task

    • The name of the Exchange Server domain to be processed

  6. To review the property settings for the task, double-click the task in the right-hand pane. You can modify properties such as the task schedule, the level of reporting required and whether to run the task in report mode.

    Whenever new mailboxes are added, they must be processed by the Exchange Provisioning task before they can be enabled.
