Enterprise Vault™ NSF Migration

Specify the directory computer

When you start NSF migrator from Windows, you must enter the name of the Enterprise Vault directory computer that manages the archives to which you want to migrate NSF file content. You do not have to specify the directory computer when you run NSF migrator from within the Administration Console.

Select a vault store

You can specify only one vault store each time you run NSF migrator. If you want to migrate NSF files to archives in more than one vault store, you must run NSF migrator again. If appropriate, you can run more than one instance of NSF migrator.

Select NSF files

Select the NSF files that you want to migrate. You must use only UNC paths to access the locations that hold the NSF files you plan to migrate.

Match NSF files to archives

Choose which method NSF migrator should use to match NSF files to archives. You can match NSF files to archives individually. Alternatively, NSF migrator can match NSF files to archives automatically, which it does by matching the mail file names in its archives with the owner property stored in each NSF file. This is the quicker option if you are migrating many NSF files. Even if you select this option, you can still manually match any NSF files that fail automatic matching, or change those that are matched.

Select a default retention category

Choose the default retention category that will be used when archiving items from the NSF files. Later in the wizard you can review and change the retention category for each NSF file if necessary. If there is no suitable retention category, you can create one at this point in NSF migrator.

Select archives

Even if you have chosen to match NSF files to archives automatically, NSF migrator may be unable to match all the files. At this point in NSF migrator, you can manually match NSF files to archives. If necessary, you can also change any that have been matched, or remove them completely if appropriate.

Select retention categories

By default, all content from the NSF files is migrated using the default retention category you selected earlier in the wizard. However, at this point you can choose different retention categories for individual NSF files. Some Enterprise Vault features, such as the retention plan and classification features, can override these retention categories.

Configure shortcuts

NSF migrator can create shortcuts to migrated content, and you can choose whether to create these shortcuts in the original NSF files or in user mail files.

Select a folder structure

You can configure the folder structure that is used to contain the shortcuts in user mail files. For example, for users who have more than one NSF file, NSF migrator can either merge their contents in one folder structure, or create a separate structure for each.

Configure deleted items and calendar items

Choose whether or not NSF migrator should migrate items from the Trash folder in each NSF file. If appropriate, you can also select the Archive calendar items that have not yet expired option.

Post-migration NSF file settings

Finally, you can configure what NSF migrator should do with the NSF files it has migrated. For example, NSF migrator can automatically delete the NSF files.
