Hi Kevan, I wouldn't let the costs of a new server / license worry you - you'll be paying through the nose for a third-party archiving solution anyway :) but yes, the Exchange archive lives on an Exchange database, but it doesn't have to be the same database or server as your primary mailbox (so long as you're running SP1).

I cannot map a drive to another server with slower / cheaper disks. Or I need to install another copy of Exchange on the slower server that will host the Archive database. Also the Exchange 2010 archiving will not allow people to view archived email whilst not attached to the internet. (Or so I understand) We have a lot of staff that work away from the office and travel a lot and they have requested that they would like to see archived email whilst not connected to the internet. (Like they can with their wonderful PST files). If possible I would also like to be able to Archive Public Folders which the Exchange 2010 Archiver cannot do at the moment. If you can correct my understanding of any of the above then I would look at the Exchange 2010 Archive tool because it is very easy to implement.

Was there are reason why that was overlooked? Most third party archiving solutions require SQL server, so you should look at the licencing costs for that, compared to Enterprise CALs and perhaps an additional Exchange licence. You can use cheaper storage for the archive and it is all integrated.

We are running Exchange 2010 with about 300 mailboxes. One of the main aims of this project is to eliminate PST files and to keep the exchange database at a reasonable size. The product must integrate with Outlook seamlessly, archived email must be available off line (cached) and available through OWA and Outlook anywhere. I have identified 2 products that would seem to fit our criteria and would like to know whether anyone has experience of either product or any feedback they can offer about usability, features and support. The products are Metalogix "Archive Manager" and MessageSolutions "Enterprise Email Archive" Thank you in advance for any opinions that you can offer.
