Archive Manager for Exchange 8.10 - Administration Guide

Activating group archiving

Automated archiving of emails via jobs is only possible for groups that activated for archiving. If a job has been assigned to a group that has not been activated for archiving, the job will fail.

To activate a group for archiving:

1.In Manager view click the Groups tab.

2.In the left pane double-click the group to open its Properties window.

3.In the Properties window on the General tab select the Allow to archive members of this group checkbox.

4.Click Apply and then click OK. The group is now allowed to archive, and you are ready to assign a job that would do the archiving.

Deactivating group archiving

1.In Manager view click the Groups tab.

2.In the left pane double-click the group to open its Properties window.

3.Open the General tab and clear the Allow to archive members of this group checkbox.

4.Click OK. The group cannot be archived even if a job is assigned to it.

Copying group settings

In the Manager view on the Groups tab there are two methods of copying a group’s settings:

Method 1

1.To copy a group's settings, select the group in the list in the left pane and then click Copy settings () on the toolbar.

2.Then select the target group and click the activated Paste settings () icon next to the Copy settings icon on the toolbar. Settings of the original group will be copied onto the target group.

Method 2

1.To copy a group's settings, select the group in the left pane.

2.Right-click it and then, in the context menu, select Copy settings.

3.Then select the target group, right-click it and in the context menu select Paste settings. The settings of the original group will be copied onto the target group.

Scheduling group archiving

The group which you want to be archived automatically has to be allowed to archive and a job must be assigned to it (see the section "How to archive emails of a group via a job”). Without activating it and having assigned a job to it, a group will not be allowed to archive automatically. It can, however, be archived manually (see the chapter Archive view).
