This chapter gives an introduction to Enterprise Vault management.

For the majority of Enterprise Vault administration you use the Enterprise Vault Administration Console, which is a snap-in to Microsoft Management Console (MMC).

You can also use the standard Windows tools to perform general management tasks, such as granting permissions and viewing event logs. You use Microsoft SQL Enterprise Manager to maintain the SQL databases.

A number of tools are provided for monitoring and reporting, including the Operations Manager, and the Enterprise Vault Reporting feature.
