Notes:

Note 1

When the menu option and toolbar button are both hidden, a user who knows the URL of the Web Access application can still search using a Web browser.

Note 2

For the two settings Search Vault and Archive Explorer you can configure the OWA clients to use different values than the Outlook client, if required. To set different values for OWA, go to the Advanced tab, then select the OWAcategory and change the values of the Search Vaults and Archive Explorersettings to the required values. If you subsequently change the Search Vault or Archive Explorer settings on the Options tab, you are asked if you want to apply these revised settings to the OWA clients as well as to Outlook. If you click No, Enterprise Vault retains the values for the OWA clients on the Advanced tab.

Note 3

Alternatively you can use a registry value on individual users' computers to provide an Archive Explorer button. Create a DWORD value named ArchiveExplorerBtnVisible under the following registry key on the user's computer:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\KVS\Enterprise Vault\Client

Give ArchiveExplorerBtnVisible a value of 1 to display the Archive Explorer button in the Outlook client, or a value of 0 to hide the button.

Note 4

The menu option and toolbar button are only shown if you have selected Users can delete items from their archives in Site Properties.

Outlook Behavior:

The Outlook Behavior settings on the Options tab control the shortcut deletion behavior of the Outlook and OWA clients. (The settings have no effect in Microsoft Entourage.)
