Archive Manager for Exchange 8.9 - Administration Guide

Introduction About the Administration Center Tools, Options and Settings Manager view Status view Archive view Post Processing Advanced Search Appendix

Archive view

Archive view has been designed for shortcut repairing, for manual archiving/restoring (Mailboxes and Public folders tabs) and for browsing purposes. Even restoring of lost items is possible in this view (Archive and Mailboxes tabs).

In this chapter

·Mailboxes tab

·Archive tab

·Public Folders tab

·Public Folders Archive tab

Before you start archiving

All mailboxes that you plan to archive must be synchronized with Archive Manager for Exchange Server. Emails received by mailboxes that were not synchronized cannot be archived.

Synchronization can be automated with the Address Book Manager and can run in the background. For more information see Synchronizing Address Book Manager. When mailboxes are synchronized you can start archiving mailboxes.

info

NOTE: The archiving services are configured to run automatically (service type set to "Automatic" in Start > Settings > Control panel > Administrative tools > Services) and some of them run with the super-user account credentials. If some services are not started, it is necessary to start them manually using the Start.bat file. The default location is C:Program Files (x86)\ Quest\MAM4Exchange\Tools. If it does not help, review the event log entries in Start > Control panel > Administrative tools > Event viewer. The most common problem of not starting services is the incorrectly configured identity. Run an update or repair using the the Archive Manager for Exchange setup file, or correct the service identities manually using Start > Programs > Administrative Tools > Computer Management.
