Windows Desktop Search plug-in

A plug-in for Windows Desktop Search is included in the Outlook Add-Ins and HTTP-only Outlook Add-Ins. Using advanced settings in the Exchange Desktop policy, you can enable users to search their Vault Cache from Windows Desktop Search.

Note that Windows Desktop Search must be installed on the desktop computers before you install the Enterprise Vault Add-Ins.

The plug-in is not enabled by default when the Add-Ins are installed.

To enable Vault Cache users to search their Vault Caches

  1. In the Administration Console, open the Advanced properties page of the Exchange Desktop policy.

  2. Select Vault Cache settings from the drop-down list.

  3. Set WDS search auto-enable to Force on.

  4. On the Synchronization page of the Exchange Mailbox task properties, synchronize the user mailboxes.

  5. When users next start Outlook, the policy changes are implemented.

    Note that to use Windows Desktop Search to search their Vault Cache, users do not require Administrator privileges on their desktop computer.
