This issue has been solved. See solution.

We are currently running Enterprise Vault 9.0 and Microsoft Exchange 2003.  We will be upgrading to Exchange 2010.  I am looking for documentation or a tech note which will give me the steps needed to ensure that our EV still works when the mailboxes are moved from Exch 2003 to Exch 2010. 

Thanks for the help.

You have to add the new

You have to add the new exchange servers to EV, below steps will help you.

 

1. Move the VSA to Exchange 2010 server.

2. Set proper rights for VSA,
   Log on to Exchange 2010 server with the accounts which has right on exchange servers and run below poweshell script,
Set-Mailbox <VSA> -ApplyMandatoryProperties

3. Configure the Exchange 2010 throttling policy on the VSA.
   From exchange server 2010, copy the powershell script 'SetEVThrottlingPolicy.ps1' to local system for example to 'c:\temp'
 Note: The Exchange 2010 PowerShell scripts are in the PowerShellScripts subfolder of the Enterprise Vault installation folder (normally c:\Program Files\Enterprise Vault)
Go to Exchange powershell and run this script, example: Set-Mailbox saEV –ApplyMandatoryProperties

4. Assign Exchange Server permissions to the Vault Service account.
   Copy the powershell script 'SetEVExchangePermissions.ps1' to Excahnge server same as in step 3
   Go to Exchange Powershell and run Example: SetEVExchangePermissions.ps1 –user <Domain>\saEV

5. Add the Exchange server into the EV as following normal porcess.

 

Ameen.

As long as you get the new

As long as you get the new Exchange working with a new Test Mailbox & EV, your moved mailboxes will work, too.
