Archive Manager for Exchange 8.5 - Advanced Installation Guide

Modify the Exchange server throttling policy

Exchange Server uses client throttling policies to track the bandwidth that each user consumes, and restricts bandwidth limits as necessary. Metalogix Archive Manager for Exchange needs more resources than the allowed limit, so the throttling policy must be changed for the superuser.

To change the throttling policy in the Exchange server (for example, AMXEXCH), open the Exchange Management Shell and run the following commands:

New-ThrottlingPolicy AMXEXCH

Set-ThrottlingPolicy AMXEXCH -EwsCutoffBalance Unlimited -EwsMaxBurst Unlimited -EwsMaxConcurrency Unlimited -EwsMaxSubscriptions Unlimited -EwsRechargeRate Unlimited -RcaMaxConcurrency Unlimited -RcaCutoffBalance Unlimited -RcaMaxBurst Unlimited -RcaRechargeRate Unlimited -CpaMaxConcurrency Unlimited -CpaCutoffBalance Unlimited -CpaMaxBurst Unlimited -CpaRechargeRate Unlimited

Set-Mailbox "mamadmin@democorp.com" -ThrottlingPolicy AMXEXCH

Setup the Organizational Forms Library

Metalogix Archive Manager for Exchange stores email templates in a system folder called the Organizational Forms Library. The templates are used to display archived emails to end users. Before you can create the Organizational Forms Library folder in your Exchange server, you must first create a public folder mailbox. Public folder mailboxes contain the hierarchy information as well as the content for public folders. The first public folder mailbox that you create in the organization is the primary hierarchy mailbox, which automatically sets up two folders: the IPM_SUBTREE and the NON_IPM_SUBTREE. An Organizational Forms Library is a system folder that is stored in the public folder called the EFORMS REGISTRY which is a sub-folder of the NON_IPM_SUBTREE system folder. There can be several forms libraries, one for each language.
