SharePoint 2007 and 2010 require the configuration of alternate access mappings to map Enterprise Vault Discovery Collector requests to the correct web sites.
Alternate access mappings map URLs presented by Enterprise Vault Discovery Collector to internal URLs received by Windows SharePoint Services. An alternate access mapping is required between the server name and optional port defined in the SharePoint volume definition and the internal URL of the web application containing the web site being accessed is required.
Refer to Microsoft SharePoint 2007 or 2010 documentation to configure alternate access mappings based on the public URL configured by the local SharePoint administrator and the mapping used by the Enterprise Vault Discovery Collector SharePoint volume definitions.
Example:
You are accessing a SharePoint volume with the fully qualified domain name http://itweb.symantecexample.com from the Intranet zone. An alternate access mapping for the public URL http://itweb.symantecexample.com for the Intranet zone must be configured for the SharePoint 2007 or 2010 web application hosting the site to be accessed by the volume definition.
