RE: Email Archiving Solutions
Not heard of those two, but having used both Symantec Enterprise Vault and EMC EmailXtender/Sourceone I'm firmly of the belief that all archiving solutions have their faults! Archiving is great for some things, mainly keeping all emails ever safe from deletion, and for compliance, etc. It's terrible at space saving, I've now worked at 2 places who implemented archiving to save space on exchange and in both cases it has been a nightmare! It increases backups, adds complexity and degrades end user experience. Am I jaded, probably, but I deal with the fallout every day! If space is the only issue buy a bigger exchange server, or even better buy another. PST ingestion is a good thing, but in order to access that mail though outlook/OWA you will need stub messages for all those messages in exchange. You will need to seriously consider the impact of this on performance and space, this is often overlooked.

RE: Email Archiving Solutions
Hi Simon I have considered the Exchange 2010 Archiving solution but unless I have misunderstood, if I create a new database for the Archived Email it still needs to be on my exchange server. 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.

RE: Email Archiving Solutions
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).

RE: Email Archiving Solutions
I wonder if it would be possible to cache the archive as a second mailbox in outlook, won't help much with OWA, but apparently possible in outlook which i never knew http://communified.net/archive/2009/05/08/caching-shared-additional-mailboxes-in-outlook-2007.aspx Other things to consider with archiving are making sure that any outlook add-ins you might have are compatible. We've got major problems here caused by the SAGE CRM add-in clashing with the SourceOne add-in which adds up to a huge headache. Make sure your users aren't relying on anything that plugs into outlook! Having it thrust upon me now twice as an admin I can assure you that once implemented it will probably become the biggest headache and largest creator of work in your daily life!

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.

RE: Email Archiving Solutions
I've been running MessageSolution for a few years. I have one Exchange 2003 server with about 200 mailboxes. In the beginning, it was an almost complete disaster. The size of my mail store just about doubled by the time it was done with the initial archive operation, OWA became completely inaccessible every few days, and on Exchange store.exe started crashing on a regular basis. The MessageSolution software would sometimes just stop archiving. It was so bad that I asked for a refund, but they asked me to give them a chance to make everything right. They did eventually (a couple of months of troubleshooting) get it all working, although I never did regain the space in my database. It has been working OK for a couple of years now. One thing to note, I haven't had to use tech support over a year, so this may have changed, but their developers all seem to be based in China. For any issue that required their expertise, I had to give them remote access to my EEA server and they would work on in during what was for me the overnight hours. Some other issues - make them show you everything actually working - pst import, exporting archived messages to pst files, restoring messages, etc. Some of these things seem to work through the web interface, and others don't. Some functions, you have to use a separate utility instead of the web interface - I think searching for messages and then exporting the matching messages to pst was one of these. It works seamlessly (now) in OWA - users have no indication that they are viewing a stubbed message. In Outlook, in the preview pane, stubbed messages have a button to view the message but double clicking opens the original message as usual. The Outlook plugin often gets disabled and requires reenabling in Outlook. I see this also on other Outlook plugins, e.g. the Vipre plugin we use, so I don't know if this is a problem with the plugins, our environment, or just par for the course. One thing I do use all the time is the searching the archive - I'll search the archive even for recent messages since it often faster than scrolling through my inbox if I can't remember the sender and or subject You can't do a search from within OWA - for that you have to log into the EEA web interface. So for users on the road to search their archive you would have to make the EEA server available from the outside (VPN, port forwarding, etc.). So, bottom line, I am satisfied with the product now, since over the past couple of years it has worked acceptably well, but if I had to do it all over again I would choose a different solution.

RE: Email Archiving Solutions
Like I said I have two centera's at two locations doing replication already. The emc engineer that installed this showed me a demo of the emailextender and it looked like it fit the bill. The prelim quote I saw was not too far off what others including our host (SEA) proposed. I'm thinking the existing in-place replication to an offsite is going to be hard to beat. Also considering the economic times I may be able to get a better deal yet. No I don't have any specific questions but if we go down that route I may queue up a few your way.

We paid for professional services to help us design the server(s) needed to implement it into our environment. We are also using the full journaling features for legal reasons. The one thing is that there is an install for Outlook that is needed to help my end users manage the system along w/ some fine tuning for the OWA portion.

Re: Email Archiving Solutions
I have first hand experience with Evault. That is correct, there is a lot of configuring that needs to be done for that guy to be effective. And you're going to need to rollout the Outlook plug-in as well if you want your users to have all the rich features that comes with Evault. Once you get it configured, it's a nice product, but there are a lot of moving parts to get that thing to work. But by far the best one I've worked with yet. _ John Bowles - Original Message From: Alan Monaghan al...@gardnerweb.com To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues exchangelist@lyris.sunbelt-software.com Sent: Tuesday, March 3, 2009 3:52:02 PM Subject: RE: Email Archiving Solutions We are running the eVault product here.
