Enterprise Vault 8.0 - Virtual Vault adding extra vaults
The Virtual Vault is a new addition to Enterprise Vault 8.0.3. There is not a lot of documentation on it as seen by looking through the knowledge base. One thing I get asked a lot is how to add the a second virtual vault to the Outlook folder list. Such as when you give permissions to another vault to a selected user. These are the steps that work for me.
1. Open The Administration console on the EV server.
2. Navigate to "Policies->Exchange->Desktop
3. Open the " Default Exchange Desktop Policy" or whatever the name of your policy.
4. Go to the "Advanced" tab.
5. Change the "List settings from:" drop down to "Vault Cache".
6. Modify the "Synchronize archive types" to "All mailbox and shared archives".
7. Select "OK" and keep selecting "OK" until you are back to the Admin console.
8. Navigate to "Enterprise Vault Servers->your server name->Tasks"
9. Double click the "Exchange Mailbox Archiving Task for x.." (x being the exchange server with the affected mailboxes)
10. Go to the "Synchronization" tab.
11. Check "All mailboxes"
12. Check "Folder hierarchy and permissions"
13. Click the "Synchronize" button.
14. On the client open Outlook.
15. Navigate to "Tools->Enterprise Vault->Vault Cache properties..."
16. Go to the "Vaults" tab.
17. Select the archive you want to have appear in your Outlook folder list as another Virtual Vault .
18. Click "OK".
19. When you close the properties for the you'll be asked if you want to synchronize the new vault, choose yes.
20. Once the vault is finished syncing you will see the new Virtual Vault in you Outlook folder list.
