How to obtain the Distinguished Name of a users mailbox for use with Enterprise Vault Policy Manager (EVPM) scripts
Solution
Enterprise Vault Policy Manager provides a scripted method of modifying and controlling Exchange Server mailboxes and archives. In order to run EVPM against specific mailboxes, the Distinguished Name (DN) of a mailbox is required.
Notes:
a. Please see Related Document for instructions on how to remove the hidden message that Enterprise Vault (EV) copies to vault enabled mailboxes.
b. Additional details regarding the EVPM utility and how to construct scripts can be found in the Enterprise Vault Documentation.
1. In the EV Vault Admin Console (VAC) => Expand ARCHIVES => Exchange Mailbox
2. Locate the Archive in question. Right click => Properties.
3. Select the "Advanced" tab
4. Highlight and copy the entire Archive ID
5. Click OK to close the Archive Properties window
6. Holding the SHIFT+CTRL keys down - Right click on "Archives" in the EV console tree on the left
7. Select "Find Archive or Folder"
8. Paste in the Archive ID (Step 4) and click on FIND
9. The mailbox details (including the Legacy Mailbox DN) will be displayed for that user mailbox.
Note: Alternatively, if the mailbox alias is known, a query can be made against the EnterpriseVaultDirectory Database:
SELECT LegacyMbxDN FROM ExchangeMailboxEntry WHERE MbxAlias = '<MailboxAlias>'
