Verifying that Enterprise Vault expands distribution lists

In Microsoft Exchange environments, you must ensure that the Enterprise Vault Exchange Journaling Task expands distribution lists in the To, CC, and BCC fields of items.

To verify that Enterprise Vault expands distribution lists

  1. Open the Enterprise Vault Administration Console.
  2. Expand the contents of the left pane until the journaling policies are visible.
  3. Right-click the required policy, and then click Properties. For example:
    How to display the Exchange policy properties in the Vault Administration Console
  4. Click the Advanced tab, and then check the value for the Expand distribution lists setting.

  5. If you need to change the value for the setting, do the following:

    • Click Modify.

    • Change the value to On.

    • Click OK in each dialog box to save the change that you have made.

    • Restart the Journaling task to put the change into effect.
