Automatic method

This section describes the automatic method of adding a public folder. You add an Enterprise Vault "auto-enabler" that then enables folders that are immediately beneath the folder you specify. These folders and their subfolders are all enabled for archiving.

By default, a separate archive is automatically created for each folder at this level.

To add a public folder auto-enabler

  1. In the left pane of the Administration Console, expand the hierarchy until Targets is visible.

  2. Expand Targets.

  3. Expand Exchange.

  4. Expand the domain that contains the Exchange Server that hosts the folder you want to add.

  5. Expand Exchange Server.

  6. Expand the Exchange Server that has the public folder you want to add.

  7. Right-click Public Folder and, on the shortcut menu, click New and then Public Folder Auto-Enabler.

    The New Public Folder Auto-Enabler wizard starts.

  8. Work through the wizard. You will need to provide the following information:

    • The path to the top-level public folder to be archived.

    • Whether to archive items in the root folder. If yes, you can specify the archive to use.

    • The Exchange Public Folder policy to use.

    • The Exchange Public Folder task to use.

    • The retention category to use.

    • The vault store to create the new archives in.
