A while back I bought the Exchange Archiver from Sunbelt, and found out that they didn't recommend putting it on a DC. So, it went on the backburner for a little over a year, and a few weeks ago, I freed up a server and reinstalled it as a member server. I was now ready to install the archiver. Found out that the product was sold off to Metalogix. So, I talked to them and they told me a tech wouldn't be available to do the install (over the phone) for two weeks. I made the appointment and waited. As it turns out, Metalogix support is horrible. I've been put off four times now about doing the install... each time they say they can do it, then they either never call me, or email me and say they're too busy. So, I'd like to give up on this product, but I'd like to know what current products you guys are having good luck with? Essentially I've got an Exchange 2010 Enterprise Server with just a few (less than 25) mailboxes and a total store of 155 GB. My reason for archiving is to get the mail off the Exchange server and onto a separate server, and have it be indexed so that people can search large mailboxes very quickly. I don't think Exchange's native archiving would work for me because from what I've read it has to be done on the same server as the Exchange server, so I don't think that's going to speed up searches. Any other products I could look at?
