Setting up provisioning groups for Enterprise Vault Search

A search provisioning group identifies the users and user groups to whom you want to assign a search policy for Enterprise Vault Search. After you install Enterprise Vault, a default search provisioning group is available with which you can assign the default search policy to all users. If you want to assign a custom search policy to selected users or groups, you must set up a custom provisioning group. The default provisioning group continues to target those users whom you do not assign to a custom provisioning group.

You can set up any number of custom provisioning groups for different sets of targets. However, each provisioning group can target the users in one Active Directory domain or Domino domain, so you require at least as many groups as you have domains.

To view the properties of the default search provisioning group

In the left pane of the Administration Console, expand your Enterprise Vault site.
Expand the Client Access container and then expand the Search container.
Click the Provisioning Groups container.
In the right pane, right-click Default Search Provisioning Group and then click Properties.
You cannot amend any of the properties.

To set up a custom search provisioning group

In the left pane of the Administration Console, expand your Enterprise Vault site.
Expand the Client Access container and then expand the Search container.
Right-click the Provisioning Groups container, and then click New > Active Directory Provisioning Group or New > Domino Provisioning Group.
The New Search Provisioning Group wizard appears.
Complete the fields and then click Create Provisioning Group. The wizard prompts you to specify the following:
- The name of the provisioning group.
- The search policy to assign.
- The domain to which the provisioning group applies. You can enter the details of a new domain, if necessary.
  For an Active Directory domain, you must choose a trusted domain in your environment and optionally specify the required Global Catalog server. For a Domino domain, you must specify the name and password for the ID file that Enterprise Vault will use to access the domain, and the fully-distinguished name of any Domino server in the domain.
- The targets (individual users and user groups) of the provisioning group.
- The Enterprise Vault server that is to host the Client Access Provisioning task for this provisioning group. This task applies the required search policy to the targets of the provisioning group. You can host the task on any Enterprise Vault server in your site. However, if the task is to provision a Domino domain then you must ensure that Notes is installed on the server.
  Enterprise Vault creates the task automatically if one does not already exist for the nominated domain.
The provisioning group takes effect when the Client Access Provisioning task has run.
