Enterprise Vault

Some of you might already have heard of our Techcenter offering, it's been around for a few years now and it's a great resource for both new and seasoned Enterprise Vault admins. We used to offer some free modules but recently all the modules have been made available and are ready for you to go download and watch. Obviously these are all V8 & V9 focused but in the fullness of time there will be V10 modules but either way why not go and check these out because you never know you might be able to learn something new & wonderful :)

As the end of year zooms towards us I thought I'd mention a couple of useful Blog posts that some of my colleagues published recently which certainly  deserve to be highlighted.

Rob Wilcox recently wrote a great article entitled "Enterprise Vault 9.0.1 - Which client should I install" that discusses the key considerations around upgrading to the latest EV client code.

Karl Woodrow also published a great article, a short but sweet piece entitled "Exchange Server 2010 SP1 Self-signed certificates back on the menu in EV 9.0.1"  this is perhaps self explanatory but highlights the fact that...

A question we have started to hear more frequently is "how can I move my EV server(s) to new hardware". I guess this shouldn't surprise anyone because more and more customers are moving to Windows 2008 R2 and adopting the x64 platform throughout their server estate. Another reason to consider this is that when we release V10 next year, Windows 2008 R2 will be a pre-requisite. Therefore if you’re thinking of upgrading to V9 in the near future, you might also want to think about upgrading to Windows 2008 R2. This could mean that you’ll need to but some new hardware or even perhaps move EV to a x64 Virtual Machine.

Whatever your plans you will probably soon start to think about how to actually move EV to a new server. Previously I would have referred to you to the Disaster Recover section of our admin guide which is a great starting point. However, I’m pleased to say that we now have a new document out which deals with...

I've heard from a few customers/partners that they missed the fact that we had released EV8 SP5 so I'd like to rectify that with this post. 

We're sorry about this because (a) We normally try to post here to remind your all (b) the transition to our new SymWise system has meant that not all of you got notified via the EV Digest notifications (I will deal with that in another post shortly)

So with all that said, we're pleased to say that we shipped V8 SP5 a few weeks ago. This isn't a release that you'll find any specific new features in because it's a HF roll up SP but you can get the release notes and browse through the changes using the following link.
