When you have a group of people that need to monitor EV using the monitoring page, who should be able to restart tasks, and who should be able to export/import archives, you can restrict access as follows:

Use Authorization Manager to create a new group (see manual), defining the below in the new role.

{DIR} Can Administer Enterprise Vault

When installing multiple EV-servers, where multiple Exchange, File, Domino etc servers need to be checked, it is not very friendly you have to key in the list of servers on each install of Deployment Scanner.

To get the list of servers on all of your Deployment Scanner's do the following:

Install Deployment Scanner on all the servers that need to have it.

Hello everyone,

As you are aware, upgrading a larger environment of EV-servers can be a little confusing.
I've done upgrades from 6 to 7, from 7 to 7.5 and now from 7.5 to 8.0

My environment is pretty large.
9 Journal Archiving servers
15 Mailbox Archving servers
4 Discovery Accelerator servers.

Designing a new EV environment is not an easy task to do.
I am in an environment that is currently
EV7.5SP2, Exchange2003SP2, Windows2003 SP2, SQL2000SP4

In (if all goes to plan) 7 to 8 months, I am in an environment that will be:
EV8.0SP2
Exchange2007SP2
Windows2008R2 (possibly)
SQL2008SP2

Hello fellow EV-admins, users, supporters,

My name is Gertjan. I am Dutch. (it ain't much if it ain't dutch!)

I am working for a contracting firm called T2. I've been placed at one of the largest EV implementations in the Netherlands. Due to the nature of the environment (as pointed out by someone..) I will not post too much about it.
