MessageStats 7.8.1 - Report Pack for Archive Manager User Guide

Report Filter Definitions

The report filter definitions provide information about the various filter settings that you can use to define the information that appears in reports.

Archive Server

Used to select the Archive Manager Server instance to which the Exchange message information is being archived.

ACE Account Name

Allows you to reduce the number of access control entries (ACEs) reported in mailbox access control lists (ACLs) by using the “is in” or “not in” parameter to select or exclude specific user accounts.

ACE Inherited

Allows you to either include or exclude inherited ACEs in mailbox ACLs in security reports.

Aggregation Options

Allows you to view the logical volume or the physical storage for the messages and attachments stored on the Archive Manager server:

Logical Volume: Shows the logical volume of messages and attachments. For example, if two messages in a mailbox contain the same attachment, the logical attachment volume would count two attachments but the physical count would show one, since only one instance of the physical attachment is stored in Archive Manager. Logical volume reflects the volume that would be shown in Exchange if the messages and attachments were viewed in a mail client such as Outlook.

Physical Storage: Shows the physical storage used on the Archive Manager server by a specific user mailbox or Archive Manager group. Since Archive Manager stores a single copy of messages and attachments, and uses compression technology to further reduce storage use, physical storage is typically less than logical volume.

Body Keyword
