Description

The NetApp Filer autohome feature provides each Windows user with a home directory that is accessible through a share in this format:

\\filer_name\user_name$

During PST migration, Enterprise Vault must find the complete UNC paths to the NetApp Filer shares. You must host users' home directories beneath designated directories on the NetApp Filer. Share these directories and assign the Vault Service account permission to access the shares. Finally, add the list of shared directories to the NetAppHomeMap registry value on all the Enterprise Vault Directory service computers.

In the following example, users' directories are stored below three directories called engineering, finance and marketing:

+---engineering
|   +---UserA
|   +---UserB
|   \---UserC
|
+---finance
|   +---UserD
|   +---UserE
|   \---UserF
|
\---marketing
    +---UserG
    +---UserH
    \---UserI

You must share engineering, finance, and marketing and make each accessible to the Vault Service account. Then add the three share names in a semicolon-separated list to NetAppHomeMap:

engineering;finance;marketing

When Enterprise Vault processes a PST file that is on \\filer_name\UserG$, it attempts to connect to a directory called UserG under each of the shares listed in NetAppHomeMap:

\\filer_name\engineering\UserG
\\filer_name\finance\UserG
\\filer_name\marketing\UserG

In the first two cases, Enterprise Vault does not find the directory, but in the third case it does. When Enterprise Vault has found \\filer_name\marketing\UserG, it can then ascertain the complete UNC path to the directory, and proceed with the migration of the PST files that it contains.
