This issue has been solved. See solution.

Hi,

The people who set up our vault some years back have lost / fogotten our ev-anon password.

As we are doing a migration we will probably need to know it now to get the new domain's Exchange servers OWA to work.

Do I just change it and re-run owauser.wsf ?

Any ideas anyone? I tried a search but with no joy.

For those that have seen my sudden burst of posts, sorry to keep on, what we are doing it proving really tricky without a guide or whitepaper and obviously I want to get it done right. Thanks for all your help so far!

yes, you can just reset the password and re-run the script or change it directly on the EV Anon virtual directory on the EV server.

Wow Wayne..  you really seem

Wow Wayne..  you really seem to have Vault figured out.

In which case... doing an AD Migration should be easy right... seeing how there is so much documentation on it. Please enlighten me.

James, Well remember I have

James,

Well remember I have been working with/on the product for over 7 years now, it is my daily job (KVS/Veritas/Symantec) as of this month im on my own :).  But saying that you will be very surprised how much info is already out there. People don't seem to get to grips with searching or any reading before they ask.  It did not come from this really, just posted that for Tony to take the mickey out of him.  So don't feel offended.

Cool

But seriously, I have spent days searching... litteral days, not like 10 minutes!!

I am doing an AD migration using Quest.

We want to keep just the one vault server with users on both domains until we have migrated them all over - then migrate the vault server.

We are just starting to try and migrate the 3000+ users we have and Vault is being a stumbling block.

If you can find anything on doing what we are doing and will guide me I will be eternally grateful... I am proper stuck.

I mean, reading the help files and posts that are similar but not the same points me in the right direction, but I'm sure I am now at the stage where things can start to go wrong.

Anything you (or anyone) can find would be ace!!!!

Cheers - Slack

EDIT: I dont work with Vault every day, it was installed by someone else and I have the task of doing this migration. I know the most about Vault within my organisation but it's really not a lot.
