How to find configuration details regarding Archive Manager (4263029)

An administrator needs to verify the current Archive Manager configuration or identify the exact file storage paths and types (e.g., for troubleshooting, upgrades, or migration planning). This information may be required if the Administration Website is inaccessible or if raw backend verification is needed.

To obtain the raw configuration settings and identify the active storage locations, you can run the following queries against the Archive Manager SQL Database using SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS). 

This query lists all global configuration keys and their current values (e.g., Exchange server settings, timeouts, and installation paths).

USE ArchiveManager
SELECT * FROM Config
ORDER BY Name
 

This query displays the physical paths where archived emails are stored (e.g., local drives, UNC paths, or EMC Centera/NetApp devices).

USE ArchiveManager
SELECT * FROM StorageLocation

• Look for the Path column: This indicates where the actual files are saved.

• Look for the Type column: This indicates the storage adapter used (e.g., DISK, CENTERA).

Note: If your database is not named ArchiveManager, please replace USE ArchiveManager with the correct name of your database.
