Archive Manager for Exchange 8.8 - Administration Guide

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

Options

AMAC preferences set through Options and Settings apply if no specific archive settings are selected. There are many preferences which you can configure to your needs. They include, for instance, compressing of emails and their attachments, setting up the default retention category depending on e.g. legal requirements, activating direct archiving, managing roles for different users etc. Settings having been specified under Tools > Options and Tools > Settings are used as the default for manual as well as automated archiving.

Tools/Options

Run Archive Manager for Exchange (click Start/Programs/Metalogix/Archive Manager for Exchange). In the Archive Manager for Exchange click on the Tools menu, and then click on Options to open the Options window. Here, on different tabs you can set your AMAC preferences.

Server settings

Server Role tab

Archive Manager for Exchange offers high scalability and supports various LAN solutions. Besides the simplest solution with one Archive Manager server, more complex configurations are possible. For example, you can deploy the following servers at the same location. For co-located servers, Location ID = 1 for all servers.

·One archive server (server assigned Archive server role. Only one Archive server per location is allowed)

·One or more retrieve servers (servers assigned the Retrieve server role)

·One or more PST import servers

For large organizations with offices around the globe, Archive Manager for Exchange offers the possibility to configure several locations. Each location can be distinguished by a LocationID, and you can deploy several servers at the same location. For more information about locations, see the Locations tab topic.

The server role must be assigned to each server on the Server Role tab from the Server role downdrop box.

Recommendation

·When more than 1000 mailboxes are being archived, we recommend dedicating a separate computer as a Retrieve server besides the primary Archive server.

·Maximum 3000 mailboxes can be archived with one Archive server. For more mailboxes it is necessary to install another Archive server with a new location identifier.

NOTE: When specifying Excluded extensions you can use the following wild card * which stands for any number of characters and ? stands for any single character

6.Click Apply to save your settings.

Retention tab

For legal reasons some emails must remain retrievable for many years. Our email archiving solution uses the Hierarchical Storage Management system (HSM). HSM offers the possibility to organize documents in a logical way, e.g. some documents must be stored for a longer period than the others. In the HSM system define different retention categories for each type of document (for example, one retention category for short-term documents and other retention category for long-term documents).

From this tab, you can choose the retention category that must be used as the default for archiving items if no specific retention category is chosen. It usually applies for manual archiving using Archive Manager Outlook AddIn.

However, every group or user can have its own default retention category assigned. This can be configured from the Manager view > Settings > Retention assignment tab. See Retention assignment for more details.

info

NOTE: If you are running Archive Manager for Exchange for the first time, only one retention category is available. It is the Default retention category created by the setup. Otherwise you can choose from all retention categories that you create in the Retention tab of the Manager view.

You can archive email items under different retention categories through jobs by assigning a retention category in each job. See Creating a job for more information. You can also choose the retention category for an individual item when it is archived manually.

Shortcut tab

This tab lets you configure the display of archived emails in the Outlook preview pane. The layout and the type of shortcut are defined through templates. The template specified on this tab will be used in cases when no other shortcut template settings apply.

info

NOTE: Shortcut templates can be created under Manager view > Settings > Shortcut templates. Then they can be assigned to different users or groups under Manager view > Settings > Shortcut template assignment.

In the Default shortcut template dropdown box select a shortcut template from the available ones. Then click Apply.

Default shortcut template can be set also under Manager view > Settings > Shortcut template assignment. If the default shortcut template is changed there it is changed also on this tab and vice-versa.

opt-080

Links tab

If you plan to use attachment links in shortcuts (either Create links for attachments or Generate an HTML shortcut from template option from the previous tab) you must configure the link generator server on this tab.

In the Alias for attachment link URL enter the alias of your Archive Manager Archive server - the link generator server name. The ALIAS of your Archive Manager server can be accessed both from inside and outside the LAN.

info

NOTE: We recommend creating an ALIAS (DNS alias) for the Archive Manager Archive server. It will serve as a virtual name and changing the physical name of the Archive server will not affect the attachment links.

If the https channel will be used, check the use SSL checkbox.

After modifying these settings click Apply. Then click Yes to restart the relevant service.

opt-090

Advanced tab

This tab offers additional archive settings:

Activate archiving of unread messages - clear the checkbox if you do not want to archive unread emails.

Activate archiving of pending appointments and tasks - clear the checkbox if you do not want to archive unfinished appointments and/or tasks.

Mark restored messages as Read - select the checkbox if you want to mark restored emails as Read.
