New features in Enterprise Vault 12.1

Enterprise Vault 12.1 includes the following new features. For information about the new features in Enterprise Vault 12, see the Enterprise Vault 12 ReadMeFirst.

Records management feature

The new records management feature lets you mark selected items as records, conduct searches for these records, and export them for transfer elsewhere. By doing this you can fulfil the requirements of Capstone, which is the approach to managing emails that the U.S. National Archives and Records Administration has advocated. However, the feature is sufficiently flexible to meet the needs of other records management systems.

This feature builds on existing Enterprise Vault functionality to provide a simple, lightweight solution for records management. By default, Enterprise Vault does not mark the items that it archives as records. Changing this behavior, however, is simply a matter of configuring the retention categories that Enterprise Vault assigns to the archived items. You can now configure each retention category so that, at the same time that Enterprise Vault assigns the retention category to an item, it also marks the item as a record of some type. (For Capstone, this is either 'permanent' or 'temporary'.) With a range of different retention categories to assign to items, you can mark each one as the appropriate type of record or non-record.

To assign the required retention category to an item and thereby mark it as a record, you use the existing methods that are available in Enterprise Vault. For example, you can do the following:

• Create one or more retention plans, each of which is associated with a different retention category. Then you can set up multiple provisioning groups to apply the required retention plans to selected user mailboxes.
• By using facilities such as Enterprise Vault Policy Manager (EVPM), assign different retention categories to different folders in user mailboxes. Then you can allow users to mark their items as records by dragging the items from one mailbox folder and dropping them in another.
• Use the Enterprise Vault classification feature to assign the appropriate retention category to items that match certain criteria.

Enhanced facilities in Enterprise Vault Search make it easy to search an archive for the items marked as records. New PowerShell cmdlets let you export the records, if you want to transfer them for long-term retention in the U.S. National Archives or elsewhere.

See the Administrator's Guide for more details of the records management feature.

File System Archiving enhancements

This release adds the following new features and enhancements to File System Archiving:

• PowerShell cmdlets
  New PowerShell cmdlets remove the need to use the Vault Administration Console to add, update, and delete file servers and folders as File System Archiving targets. You can now perform these operations from the command line.
• Folder shortcuts to Enterprise Vault Search
  File System Archiving can now create a folder shortcut in each folder that it archives. When clicked, the shortcut opens Enterprise Vault Search and displays the archived files in their original folder structure.
• NetApp C-Mode LIF configuration
  File System Archiving now supports the configuration of management and data roles on separate LIFs when adding a NetApp C-Mode Vserver as an FSA target. To use File Blocking on such NetApp C-Mode Vservers, you must have the Enterprise Vault 12.1 FSA Agent installed. Note that Enterprise Vault still supports the configuration of management and data roles on a single LIF.

See the Setting up File System Archiving and PowerShell Cmdlets guides for more details.

Note that the File Blocking feature will not be available in the next release of Enterprise Vault.

Enterprise Vault Search enhancements

This release adds the following new features and enhancements to Enterprise Vault Search:

• New font icons to improve performance, scalability, and accessibility.
• A toolbar in the reading pane with which users can download, move, copy, or delete the current item.
• Advanced search options with which users can search for items that Enterprise Vault has marked as records or that have been tagged with category and classification values.
• The facility for OWA users to open archived items in OWA native form by double-clicking them in Enterprise Vault Search results.
• FSA folder shortcuts to display archived files and folders in the original folder structure in the Enterprise Vault Search sidebar.
• Support for additional English variants in the regional preferences, such as English (Australia) and English (Ireland).
• The Customize Columns dialog box now provides drop-down lists from which you can select properties to display as columns in the results pane.

Enhancements to the retention plan feature

Enterprise Vault 12 introduced a feature with which you can apply a retention plan to a range of different targets, including Exchange, Domino, and IMAP provisioning groups, FSA volume and folder policies, and SharePoint targets and site collections. With a retention plan, you can associate a retention category with a number of other settings, such as a classification policy and the criteria for discarding expired items, and apply them all to one or more targets.

In Enterprise Vault 12.1, new facilities in the Vault Administration Console and PowerShell cmdlets extend the range of targets to which you can apply retention plans. Now the following and their associated archives are all the potential recipients of these plans:

• Exchange journal mailboxes
• Domino journaling locations
• SMTP targets

For more information on the retention plan feature, see the Administrator's Guide.

Improved consistency when applying a retention period to moved items

Changes to the Vault Administration Console provide improved consistency and clarity in the way that Enterprise Vault applies a retention period to moved items. Some of these changes include changes to default behavior.

For an overview of retention in Enterprise Vault 12.1, see the following article on the Veritas Support website:

Limiting the impact when updating moved item locations

Previously, you could prevent Enterprise Vault from updating an item's location in the archive when a user moved the shortcut to a different folder in their mailbox. To disable this feature, you unchecked Update archive location for items moved in the mailbox in the Exchange Mailbox policy. In Enterprise Vault 11.0 this option was on the Moved Items tab. In Enterprise Vault 12.0, this tab was renamed Existing Items.

In this release, Enterprise Vault always updates the archive location of moved items. If you had previously disabled this feature, and mailboxes contain lots of shortcuts, then Enterprise Vault attempts to update the archive location for moved items after you upgrade. If the mailboxes include historical shortcuts to Enterprise Vault servers that are no longer reachable, then long network timeouts may occur.

To prevent these timeouts, configure a list of valid site aliases as described in the following procedure.

Configuring a list of valid site aliases

1. In the Enterprise Vault Administration Console, open the Advanced tab in the Exchange Mailbox policy.
2. In List settings from:, select Archiving General.
3. Select Valid Enterprise Vault site aliases and click Modify.
4. Enter a semi-colon separated list of valid site aliases. During shortcut processing, Enterprise Vault does not attempt to contact any site whose alias does not appear in the list.
5. Click OK to close the dialog, and then again to close the properties.
6. Repeat the above steps for each Exchange Mailbox policy.

Enhancements to IMAP client access

This release introduces the concept of a default IMAP archive. For users with access to a single archive, this is their default archive. For users with access to multiple archives, Enterprise Vault uses a set of rules to determine which archive to select as the default. The Setting up IMAP guide describes these rules.

IMAP users no longer need to append an identifier to their user names when they log on to their default archives. For example, it is no longer necessary to enter the user name as, say, EMEAJohnDoe1962. However, they must continue to append the identifiers when they log on to other, non-default, archives.

Auditing enhancements

Enterprise Vault auditing includes the following enhancements:

• A new audit category, ArchivePermissions, enables auditing to record any change to manual archive permissions, and the identity of the administrator who made the change. An Enterprise Vault administrator can change manual archive permissions using the Enterprise Vault Administration Console, or Enterprise Vault Policy Manager (EVPM).
• If you have created the auditing database, new audit log entries and event messages show the status of auditing and each audit category, even if auditing is stopped. These messages are created when the Enterprise Vault Admin service starts, and when a user changes the auditing configuration.
• In the Administrators Guide, the 'Auditing' chapter now includes advice on what you need to consider when configuring auditing.
• To promote consistent auditing configuration, you should only configure auditing using the Administration Console. The ability to use registry settings is no longer supported.

Support for clustered Enterprise Vault Domino Gateway servers

Enterprise Vault now supports clustered Enterprise Vault Domino Gateway servers. These servers are clustered using IBM Domino server clustering.

Support for an alias URL for client web connections to the Enterprise Vault Domino Gateway server

Mail file extension operations in iNotes, and Enterprise Vault Search operations in the Notes client and iNotes connect to the Enterprise Vault Domino Gateway server using web connections. By default, the base URL is the fully qualified Internet host name of the Enterprise Vault Domino Gateway server. You now have the option of creating an alias value to use as the base URL instead of the fully qualified host name.

New version of Permissions Browser utility

The new version of Permissions Browser that is included in this release makes it quicker and easier to view the access permissions on Enterprise Vault archives and on the folders in these archives. Unlike the previous version of this utility, the new version accesses the Enterprise Vault Directory database directly; you do not need to specify the required ODBC data source anymore.

For more information on Permissions Browser, see the Utilities guide.

Support for new Microsoft releases

Enterprise Vault 12.1 includes support for the following new Microsoft releases:

• SQL Server 2016
• Windows 10 Anniversary Update

See the Enterprise Vault Compatibility Charts for details of support for the following releases:

• SharePoint Server 2016
• Windows Server 2016 as an FSA target

Support for NetApp clustered Data ONTAP 9.0

See the Enterprise Vault Compatibility Charts for details of support for NetApp clustered Data ONTAP 9.0 operating system as a storage device and as an FSA target.

For more information about configuring NetApp C-Mode Vservers as File System archiving targets, see Setting up File System Archiving.

Changes in Enterprise Vault 12.1

Changes to prerequisite software for Enterprise Vault 12.1

There are no changes to prerequisite software since Enterprise Vault 12.

The Enterprise Vault installer requires Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5.2, and all Enterprise Vault servers require both Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5.2 and .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 or SP2.

For full details of all supported versions of software and devices, see the Enterprise Vault Compatibility Charts at http://www.veritas.com/docs/000097605.

Support for File Blocking with File System Archiving

The File Blocking feature will not be available in the next release of Enterprise Vault.

New and enhanced PowerShell cmdlets

Enterprise Vault 12.1 includes the following new PowerShell cmdlets:

Enterprise Vault 12.1 includes the following enhancements to existing PowerShell cmdlets:

See the PowerShell Cmdlets guide for more information on these cmdlets.

64-bit cluster resource DLLs

Windows Server 2012 and Windows Server 2012 R2 deprecate support for 32-bit cluster resource DLLs, so Enterprise Vault 12.1 now comes with 64-bit versions of these DLLs.

If you cluster Enterprise Vault in a Windows Server failover cluster, you must deploy the 64-bit DLLs to all the nodes in the cluster. The following article on the Veritas Support website provides a PowerShell script module with which you can do this:

Update Service Locations action available for Power Administrator role

The Update Service Locations action in the Administration Console is now available for the Power Administrator role.

Outside In® Technology content converters updated to version 8.5.3

This release includes the following Outside In® Technology content converters and patch from Oracle® Corporation:

• Outside In® Technology version 8.5.3 content converters
• Outside In® Technology 8.5.3 SDK Library Patch related to SR:3-12705229771

Changes to Enterprise Vault Software Identification (SWID) tags

The SWID tags that are installed with Enterprise Vault components have been updated. The SWID tag file names remain the same, but the contents now have Veritas branding. The SWID tags are no longer signed.

Veritas Enterprise Vault Pricing

Selective SMTP Journaling no longer stores messages in the Sent Items folder [3866259]

In Selective SMTP Journaling, messages that contain a target address in the Sender or From fields are now stored in the Inbox folder of the archive, if the archive type can contain folders. If SMTP Mailbox Journaling is configured, such messages are still stored in the Sent Items folder.

Exchange archiving issues

MAPI over HTTP not supported on the Enterprise Vault server

Currently, Enterprise Vault supports MAPI over HTTP connections on Enterprise Vault client computers only. MAPI over HTTP connections to Exchange Server from the Enterprise Vault server are not supported. For instructions on how to disable MAPI over HTTP on the Enterprise Vault server, see the following article on the Veritas Support website:

OWA and Office Mail App issues

Unable to deploy the Enterprise Vault Office Mail App on Exchange Server 2013 CU9 and CU10 using a URL [3805340]

A known Microsoft issue in Exchange Server 2013 CU9 and CU10 prevents the deployment of applications using the -Url parameter in the New-App PowerShell cmdlet. This issue is fixed in Exchange Server 2013 CU11.

To deploy the Enterprise Vault Office Mail App on Exchange Server 2013 CU9 and CU10 you need to download the application manifest to a file, and then specify the file in the New-App cmdlet. An example script showing how to do this is provided in the Office Mail App troubleshooting section, 'The Enterprise Vault Office Mail App manifest file is not created', in Setting up Exchange Server Archiving.

The same workaround is needed whether you are deploying the application to an individual mailbox or to an organization.

Unable to deploy the Enterprise Vault Office Mail App on Exchange Server 2016 CU1 [3875995]

A known Microsoft issue in Exchange Server 2016 CU1 sometimes prevents the deployment of the Enterprise Vault Office Mail App using the New-App PowerShell cmdlet. If this happens, run the Get-App cmdlet and then run the New-App cmdlet again.

This issue is fixed in Exchange Server 2016 CU2.

Microsoft Edge pop-up blocker prevents OWA users from viewing archived items [3834065]

If you attempt to view an archived item when the pop-up blocker is enabled, then you are prompted to allow the pop-up. After selecting an option to allow the pop-up, the following error is displayed:

This issue results from a known Microsoft issue, and occurs the first time you try to view an archived item if all of the following conditions are true:

• The Enterprise Vault Office Mail App is deployed.
• You are accessing archived items using the Outlook on the web (OWA) client in Microsoft Edge.
• In Internet Explorer, the Exchange Server that hosts Outlook on the web (OWA) is in a zone where the pop-up blocker is enabled.

You can work around this issue by doing either of the following:

• Select 'Allow Always' to the pop-up blocker prompt. If you select this option, the issue does not occur on subsequent attempts to view archived items.
• Add the Exchange Server address to the Trusted sites zone in Internet Explorer.

Administration Console issues

Installing a standalone Administration Console on Windows 7

After installation, and before using the Administration Console, perform the following steps:

Veritas Enterprise Vault Cloud

1. Create an activation configuration file containing the following lines:

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8' ?>
<configuration>
<startup useLegacyV2RuntimeActivationPolicy='true'>
<supportedRuntime version='v4.0'/>
</startup>
</configuration>

2. Save the configuration file with the name mmc.exe.activation_config.
3. Set the COMPLUS_ApplicationMigrationRuntimeActivationConfigPath environment variable to the full path of the folder containing the configuration file.

For more information on activation configuration files, refer to the following Microsoft article: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/vstudio/ff361644(v=vs.100).aspx.

SCOM issues

Known limitations in SCOM monitoring [3347550, 3411587]

The SCOM Management Pack does not monitor the disk space health of vault store partitions.

Move Archive issues

Unsynchronized items in Virtual Vault can become inaccessible during a Move Archive operation [1707143]

When you use Move Archive, unsynchronized items in users' Virtual Vaults can become inaccessible following the move. To avoid this situation, do the following before you run Move Archive:

• Prevent users from adding items to their Virtual Vaults, using the Users can archive items advanced policy setting.
• Ensure that users have synchronized their Virtual Vaults.

Once you have moved archives, you can enable the Users can archive items setting again.

Move Archive operations can fail when the associated destination mailboxes have reached or exceeded their quotas [1960969]

Move Archive operations can fail for archives whose associated destination mailboxes have reached or exceeded their quotas. This is because Move Archive cannot complete shortcut processing when these mailboxes are full.

You should temporarily disable Exchange mailbox quotas on associated destination mailboxes until the Move Archive operations have completed.

PST migration issues

PST Locator task may fail to locate PSTs on computers that have Windows 7 installed [3330679]

On computers running Windows 7, you must enable the RemoteRegistry service to allow the PST Locator task to look for PST files using registry searches.

Enterprise Vault Reporting and FSA Reporting issues

Cannot access Enterprise Vault reports from Administration Console on Chinese or Japanese systems [3861345]

On Chinese and Japanese systems, the Enterprise Vault Administration Console fails to display the FSA Reporting data analysis reports and Enterprise Vault Reporting operation reports.

To access the reports, go to http://SqlServerName/reportserver, choose 'Veritas Enterprise Vault', and then choose the required language.

Enterprise Vault Client for Mac OS X issues

A 'Choose Application' dialog box may appear on the first occasion that you run the Enterprise Vault Client on a Mac OS X 10.9 (Mavericks) computer [3640157]

If you install the Enterprise Vault Client on a computer that is running Mac OS X 10.9 (Mavericks), a Choose Application dialog box may appear on the first occasion that you enter your login details for Enterprise Vault.

Click Cancel to close the dialog box and work as normal with the Enterprise Vault Client. The dialog box should not reappear when you subsequently log in to Enterprise Vault.

Enterprise Vault Client issue when Outlook 2016 for Mac is the only installed version of Outlook [3806707]

A known issue can arise when you install the Enterprise Vault Client on a Mac OS X computer where Outlook 2016 is the only installed version of Outlook. In the Enterprise Vault Preferences dialog box, where you can select the email client with which to associate the Enterprise Vault toolbar, both Outlook 2016 and Outlook 2011 appear in the list. If you inadvertently choose the Outlook 2011 option, the Enterprise Vault toolbar does not subsequently appear when you start Outlook 2016.

To resolve this issue, reopen the Enterprise Vault Preferences dialog box and attach the toolbar to Outlook 2016.

After you install the Enterprise Vault Client on a computer that is running Mac OS X 10.9 or later, you must log out or restart Mac OS X before you can use the Enterprise Vault facilities for the first time [3589589]

After you install the Enterprise Vault Client on a computer that is running Mac OS X 10.9 or later, the Enterprise Vault facilities do not work on the first occasion that you try to use them. To resolve this issue, log out and then back in again, or restart Mac OS X.

Other issues

Deployment Scanner fails to check whether the Vault Service account belongs to the local Administrators group on the NetApp C-Mode Vserver [3535907]

The Deployment Scanner fails to check whether the Vault Service account belongs to the local Administrators group on the NetApp C-Mode Vserver. The 'File Server Permissions' check fails with the following message:

The user domainNameEVAdminUser is not a member of the local Administrators group on file server: FQDN. The user domainNameEVAdminUser should have full control to the files & shares you wish to archive.

You can ignore this error message. The Vault Service account does not need to be a member of the local Administrators group on the NetApp C-Mode Vserver.

Outlook on the Enterprise Vault server

Outlook 2003 and 2007 are no longer supported on the Enterprise Vault server.

Outlook 2013 SP1 (32-bit version) is supported on the Enterprise Vault server at Enterprise Vault 12. If you install Outlook 2013 SP1 on the Enterprise Vault server, old external filters that require Collaboration Data Objects (CDO) 1.2.1 may no longer work correctly. CDO 1.2.1 was included in Outlook 2003 and could be downloaded for Outlook 2007. Microsoft does not support the use of CDO 1.2.1 with Outlook 2010 and later versions. Contact your filter supplier for a version that does not use CDO 1.2.1.

Outlook 2016 is not currently supported on the Enterprise Vault server.

Microsoft Edge browser on client computers

Enterprise Vault 12.1 supports the use of the Microsoft Edge browser on client computers.

To minimize potential problems when running browser-based applications like Enterprise Vault Search, it is advisable to configure the browser settings to treat these applications as trusted sites. Note that the Edge browser uses Internet Explorer 11's list of trusted sites; Edge does not have its own list.

See the Installing and Configuring guide for instructions on how to configure Internet Explorer to trust an Enterprise Vault application.

Admin service security checks of the Vault Service account’s TEMP folder

Enterprise Vault 11.0.1 introduced a security check which ensures that no unauthorized user accounts have access to the Vault Service account’s TEMP folder on the Enterprise Vault server. On startup, and periodically thereafter, the Admin service checks access to the folder. If it finds unauthorized access, it writes an error to the event log and terminates immediately.

If you are upgrading from Enterprise Vault 11.0, you must check the accounts that have access to the Vault Service account’s TEMP folder. For more information, see the section called “TEMP folder security requirements” in the Installing and configuring guide, and the following article on the Support website: http://www.veritas.com/docs/000023496.

Important information about the Enterprise Vault server cache [2423953, 2260094]

On each Enterprise Vault server that hosts an Indexing service, you must specify a location for the server cache. If the server cache is not specified, or is inaccessible, the Indexing service does not start.

Veritas Enterprise Vault (EV) is an enterprise information archive platform developed by Veritas Technologies. It is part of the company's 'Information Governance' suite.^[1] Enterprise Vault has the ability to archive from various sources such as Microsoft Exchange (2016, 2013, 2010, 2007, 2003), SMTP (any), IBM Domino (latest release), MicrosoftSharePoint and various File Systems (Windows NTFS and Linux/Unix file systems) with the ability to store on a multiple of storage platforms, such as NTFS, NetApp, Centera, SMB and WORM.^[2] The data archived is indexed, classified, de-duplicated and securely stored.

History[edit]

Veritas Enterprise Vault Support

Enterprise Vault was originally developed at Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) by a group of developers who had previously been the engineering team for Digital's VMS based ALL-IN-1 office and messaging system. After DEC was acquired by Compaq Computer Corporation the Enterprise Vault team was terminated just after Version 1 of the product was shipped.

Technical Director Nigel Dutt approached Edward Forwood of broker Durlacher with a proposal to start a company to develop and sell the product. They consequently acquired the rights to the product and formed kVault Software Limited in late 1999 with initial funding from Durlacher. The four years from 2000–2004 saw greatly improved sales and eventual acquisition by VERITAS Software in 2004.^[3] Veritas was subsequently acquired by Symantec in 2005 for $13.5B. However, on February 1st 2016, Symantec completed its sale of Veritas to the Carlyle group for $7.4B and Enterprise Vault again reverted to being a Veritas product.

Enterprise Vault was originally part of Symantec's 'Enterprise Messaging Management' group (created after Symantec acquired VERITAS in 2005^[4]). Much of the original KVS Engineering team of Development and QA still work on Enterprise Vault, based in Reading (UK) and Pune (India).^{[citation needed]}

As of June 2018 all Enterprise Vault engineers in the UK were made redundant.
