Most organizations run the Default Gathering task on a daily schedule to ensure that the MessageStats database is updated with the widest range of available report data. For more information about gathering task dependencies, see Appendix B: Gathering Task Dependencies .

Tasks Excluded from the Default Gathering Task

The Default Gathering task does not include the following gathering tasks:

•
Audit tasks. For information about audits, see Configuring Audits .

Creating an Initial Task for Exchange

After you install MessageStats, it is recommended that you create an initial Default Gathering task for all Exchange organizations.

 
* 
TIP: Creating a very large task (such as a task that runs against your entire Exchange organization) can result in a lengthy gathering time. Carefully consider the amount of information being gathered when you create your initial tasks. You can create Default Gathering tasks for Exchange organization or individual servers. You can also create regions and create tasks to run against a region.
To create an initial Default Gathering task
1
Expand the Exchange Organizations node and select an Exchange organization.
2
Right-click and select Create Task.
3
Select Default Gathering and enter a name for the gathering task.
The name you define appears in the task list under the Tasks node. Select a unique name so you can later identify the task.
4
Step through the Create Task Wizard, clicking Next at each page.
