This issue has been solved. See solution.

I am using EVPM script to exclude the Junk E-Mail folder.
I would like to ask if there is any suggest on how to make the change by default,
since it is quite common i think to exclude this folder.

If impossible, could anyone suggest me if it's required to append the newly created user to the EVPM_Junk.ini.
So to exclude it, what i mean and do now is:

There is a EVPM_Junk.ini contains: on e.g. 9 Sep
...
...
[Mailbox]
DistinguishedName=/o=XXX/ou=YYY/cn=Recipients/cn=Test_01
...
...

User Test_01 is found on e.g. 9 Sep.

If a new user Test_02 is found on e.g. 10 Sep,

Do i need to keep those users that the scipt is run before?
or the EVPM_Junk.ini should keep the "New" user only?
i.e. Version A or B????

Version A:
There is a EVPM_Junk.ini contains: on e.g. 10 Sep
...
...
[Mailbox]
DistinguishedName=/o=XXX/ou=YYY/cn=Recipients/cn=Test_01
DistinguishedName=/o=XXX/ou=YYY/cn=Recipients/cn=Test_02
...
...
Version B:
There is a EVPM_Junk.ini contains: on e.g. 10 Sep
...
...
[Mailbox]
DistinguishedName=/o=XXX/ou=YYY/cn=Recipients/cn=Test_02
...
...

Last thing i would like to ask is, how do i verify those account i.e. Junk E-Mail folder excluded??
Any setting in DB saved the change?????

Thanks X 1000000~~~~

I would just use

I would just use DistinguishedName=All

[Directory]
DirectoryComputername = <evservername>
SiteName = <evsitename>
 
[Mailbox]
DistinguishedName = All
 
[Folder]
Name = \Junk E-Mail
Filtername = DoNotArchive
OverrideArchiveLocks = true

Note: For some special folders created by Outlook you do not need to specify a path, you specify only the folder name without the leading backslash. These special folders are: Inbox, Outbox, SentItems, DeletedItems, Drafts, Calendar, Contacts, Journal, Notes, Tasks. These names work for all languages so, for example, you can specify 'Inbox' on a Japanese system.

DistinguishedName =

DistinguishedName = All

Would there be any impact if those Mailbox have not yet EV Archive enabled???
Since not all the users with the mailbox been enabled the archive.

So, if Version B stated above feasible ???????
That mean I run a script (EVPM_Junk.ini) daily contains only those new users only.

You can verify it was applied

You can verify it was applied by looking in Outlook.

On the EV Server open a mail profile for an EV enabled user

 
  • Right-click on the junk mail folder in Outlook
  • Select properties
  • Select the EV tab
  • Verify it is set to Do Not Archive

 If you use the regular EV

 If you use the regular EV Outlook Add-in, and you right click on a folder you should see an Enterprise Vault tab.  If you don't it is likely that you are using the HTTP or lite client as it is sometimes known.  You'd need to switch to the normal client in that case (I can tell you how to do that if that is the case).

Anyway if you right click on the junk email folder, and click on the Enterprise Vault tab you'll see that it's set to donotarchive.

You will need to do this on a client machine.  Checking just 1-2 should be fine, I would think, because when you run evpm you'll see it polling through all of your mailboxes.  You can't check from the server, if that is what you're asking.

Hope that helps,

 

Thanks

I have checked on the client

I have checked on the client Outlook, but it seems no such EV tab.

There is the "Search Vaults, Archive Explorer and Store in Vaults" addin installed.
Version is: Enterprise Vault 2007 (7.5.0.1250.0.http)
Is this mean the lite client??

Please advise me on how to do next, thanks.

yes, the is the lite client. 

yes, the is the lite client.  That is why I suggested doing it on the EV Server as the client it utilizes will be the DCOM or Full client.
