Creating a central quarantine location

File Blocking quarantines those files that are blocked because of content-checking. You can, optionally, define a central quarantine location to be used by all file servers to store quarantined files.

If the central quarantine location is not defined or is not available, each file server uses its local quarantine location. Note that, if a central quarantine location later becomes available, files that are in local quarantine locations are not automatically moved to the central quarantine location.

If neither a central nor a local quarantine location is available, Enterprise Vault uses the Quarantine subfolder of the Enterprise Vault installation folder locally where the File Blocking agent resides.

To create a central quarantine location

  1. Decide which server will host the quarantine location and on a suitable quarantine location on that server.

    Note:

    The Vault Service account must have write access to the location.

    Note:

    Do not select a location to which a File Blocking rule will be applied.

  2. Expand the Administration Console tree until the Targets container is visible.

  3. Expand Targets.

  4. Right-click the File Servers container and, on the shortcut menu, click Properties.

  5. On the File Blocking tab, select Enable centralized quarantine and then enter the path to the folder you want to use for quarantine. Click the browse button if you want to select the location from a list.

  6. Click OK.
