How to script management tasks

Enterprise Vault Policy Manager provides a scripted method of modifying and controlling Exchange Server mailboxes and archives so that they conform to your Enterprise Vault archiving policies.

Additionally, you can use Policy Manager to migrate the contents of PST files and NSF files to Enterprise Vault.

Policy Manager enables you to apply settings to individual mailboxes in a much more specific manner than you can when using the Administration Console.

For example, you could write a script to do the following:

  • Define a filter that archives all items older than 1 month.

  • Create a folder called Personal Archive in all mailboxes and apply the new filter to the folder.

  • Apply the Personal Retention Category to the new Personal Archive folder.

Policy Manager runs in Command Prompt window and uses an initialization file of settings to apply to mailboxes, archives, and to PST and NSF file migrations.

An additional Provisioning API is available. This can be used to provide the auto-enabling of mailboxes from a web page, for example. The API can also be used in conjunction with Enterprise Vault Policy Manager.
