Table: Sample initialization file

Initialization file section	Notes
[Directory] directorycomputername = server2 sitename = server2	The directory section is mandatory and must appear at the top of the file. This section contains the name of the Enterprise Vault directory computer and the site name.
[PSTDefaults] ServerComputerName = server2 PSTLanguage = Western European MailboxFolder = EVPM PST Migrations MigrationMode = Report ShortcutMode = NoShortcuts IncludeDeletedItems = false SetPstHidden = false SetPstReadOnly = false CompactPst = true DeletePst = false CancelMbxAutoArchive = false	These default options apply to all PST migrations listed in the following [PST] sections unless overridden in those sections. PST Language is mandatory. There must only one [PSTDefaults] section and it must appear before the individual [PST] sections. MigrationMode=Report specifies that this initialization file is to run in report mode. ShortcutMode=NoShortcuts means that, by default, there will be no shortcuts to the migrated items. Items that cannot be migrated will be left in the PST files, not moved to the mailboxes. You can override this behavior for individual PST files.
[PST] Filename = E:\Migration\Missing.pst	The [PST] sections must appear after the [PSTDefaults] section As a minimum each section must specify the PST filename. If an option is unspecified then Policy Manager uses the value in the [PstDefaults] section. This marked file is missing and will produce an error when Policy Manager runs.
[PST] Filename = \\server3\temp\marked1.pst	This file is on a remote computer. This PST file has been marked by the Enterprise Vault client so that Policy Manager can automatically determine the target archive, the Exchange Server mailbox, and the retention category.
[PST] Filename = E:\Migration\marked2.pst MailboxDN = /o=ACME/ou=DEVELOPER/cn=Recipients/cn=JackH ShortcutMode = MailboxShortcuts	This PST file has been marked by the Enterprise Vault client so that Policy Manager can automatically determine the target archive, the Exchange Server mailbox, and the retention category. The MailboxDN setting is overriding the PST marking. This will result in a warning when the initialization file is processed. The file will be processed correctly, using the specified enabled mailbox and that mailbox's default retention category and archive. Policy Manager will create shortcuts to archived items and place them, together with any items that remain in the PST at the end of the migration, into the mailbox.
[PST] Filename = E:\Migration\marked3.pst ArchiveName = Jack Henry2	This PST file has been marked by the Enterprise Vault client. The ArchiveName setting is overriding the owner entry that the client made. This will result in a warning when the initialization file is processed. The PST file will be processed correctly, using the specified archive and the default retention category from the owning mailbox.
[PST] ArchiveName = SharedArchive1 Filename = E:\Migration\unmarked.pst RetentionCategory = Business	This file has not been marked by an Enterprise Vault client. You must specify the ArchiveName, PST filename, and RetentionCategory.
