Problem

How to find the date a user was enabled for archiving


Solution
Overview:
It may be necessary to know the date a user was enabled for archiving especially if
"auto-enable" is being used. To find the date, a SQL query will need to executed
against the Vault Store(s).

Solution:
1. Open the Vault Administration Console, expand Archives and click Mailbox.

2. Right-click the user and click Properties.

3. Click the Advanced tab and take note of the ArchiveID.

4. Open SQL Query Analyzer.

Note: Replace VaultStoreDB with the name of the Vault Store database. Replace
ArchiveID with the value from Step 3.

USE VaultStoreDB
SELECT CreatedDate
FROM ArchivePoint
WHERE ArchivePointId = 'ArchiveID'

5. The CreatedDate column is the date the user was enabled for archiving.
Note:

If an Exchange mailbox is moved between Exchange servers before disabling it in


Enterprise Vault, and auto-enable is configured, a new archive will be created. If the
old archive is exported to the new archive and the original is deleted, the
CreatedDate for the new archive will be the most recent. Therefore, before deleting
the original archive query SQL for the original archive to find out when it was
originally created.
If an archive was disabled, then reenabled, the CreatedDate will be the original
date and not the date of when it was reenabled.
