Testing group journaling settings

This section describes how to test the group journaling settings.

To test the group journaling settings

  1. Send a message from a user in one of the specified distribution lists to a user in the other distribution list.

  2. Wait for Enterprise Vault to archive it and then search for it using the Retention Category field on the Advanced page of the Enterprise Vault browser search. (For the Advanced page, the URL should end with Search.asp?Advanced.)

    The message should have the group journaling retention category assigned.

  3. Now repeat the test only in reverse; send a message from a user in the second distribution list to a user in the first distribution list.

    Again, the message should have the group journaling retention category assigned.

  4. Next, send a message from a user in the first distribution list to someone who is not in the second distribution list.

    The message should be archived with the retention category specified in the default Exchange journal mailbox policy.

  5. Send a message from a user in the second distribution list to someone not in the first distribution list.

    Again, the message should be archived with the retention category specified in the default Exchange journal mailbox policy.
