- Click Add on the Outlook Folder Mapping dialog. Select an Outlook folder and click 'OK.' The 'New' button will create a new outlook folder. Select an existing location from the list of vault folders or click Add Folder to create a new vault folder, and then click OK.
- Collaboration is a key component in business success, and in order to operate seamlessly, many businesses turn to Microsoft Office 365, a collection of Microsoft hosted applications. For Veritas Enterprise VaultTM customers, this most often means utilizing Exchange Online for their email, making it necessary to migrate their Enterprise Vault.
- Also, you can install the Vault Office thick client on your client machine. If desired, you can include the Microsoft Office and Microsoft Outlook Vault add-ins with either client installation.

Help (OWA & Outlook 2010 only) See notes below, as a synchronization must occur to make any changes take effect. Enterprise Vault 11 and After With the advent of Enterprise Vault 11, the search.asp and archiveexplorerui.asp features have been merged into EV Search, and thus the selectable features in the desktop policy have changed.
When you install plugins / Add-in for Microsoft Office, this add-in could be automatically disabled by Office depends on the ressouces needed, time to load, etc. This feature could be great, but sometime, this add-in must be enabled all the time. Fortunately, Group Policy can forces the Add-ins activation. Moreover, we can allow the user to change it or not.
Let's see how to do that with an example: The Symantec Enterprise Vault Add-in:
Find the Name
Before setting any Group Policy, we need to find the ClassID for the Plugin / Add-in. This is also the Value Name used in the GPO.
With a user profile with the Office Add-in, go to the registry:
Office Add-in ClassID
The ClassID is the name of the Key under : HKEY_CURRENT_USERSOFTWAREMicrosoftOfficeOutlookAddins
In the example, the ClassID for Symantec Enterprise Vault Add-in is: EnterpriseVault.DesktopUI
Add-ins Activation
Once you get the ClassID, we can create the GPO to Add-ins Activation. You must add the Microsoft Office ADMX files.
- Path: User Configuration/Policies/Administratives Templates/Microsoft Office 2013/Miscellaneous
- Setting: List of managed add-ins.
- State: Enabled
List of Managed add-ins Enabled
Enter the ClassId and the value for the activation:
Microsoft Outlook Enterprise Vault Add In Outlook
- Value Name: ClassID. (EnterpriseVault.DesktopUI)
- Value:
- 0: The add-on is disabled and your employees can't change it.
- 1: The add-on is enabled and your employees can't change it.
- 2: The add-on is enabled and your employees can change it.
Once the computer executes the Group Policy processing:

… that moment, when in the cloud – in a real one; i.e.: in a plane somewhere over an ocean – and you eventually got nothing else to do than reading those loads of docs you dropped into your mailbox for later use … that – very – moment … when your enterprise's archiver kicks in and Outlook tells you it can't load your eMail as you are – guess what? – OFFLINE!
Here's what I did.
Why?
Enterprise Vault is a great archiving solution. It integrates pretty seamlessly with Outlook. You don't realize any difference in accessing eMails whether they're meanwhile archived or not. There's however a difference: Once Vault has gotten hold of one of your eMails, all you really have in your folders is in essence a torso of 300 chars embedded with a link to the respective Vault item of your eMail.
And now, there's those occasions when you want to access exactly those old eMails that Vault has long ago grasped; also when offline; and – honestly: PST is not such a bad concept (while I indeed do appreciate companies' aim to reduce (restrict) PST usage). Anyway. I spent some thought around this recently and ultimately created a solution which works perfectly for me and now lets me access all my old mail again – through a PST folder.
This one's to explain how that solution works:
The Solution
is a simple Outlook VBA codepiece grabbing any vaulted eMail, opening it and copying it to a respective PST folder. Once opened and copied (the 'copy' is key) it loses its vault link and gets its entire content back.
1: Search vaulted eMails
First of all, I defined an Outlook Search Folder to grab all vaulted eMails. This can be done by querying the .MessageClass field:
Dell inspiron 3521 drivers. I went by the Search Folder idea as otherwise I'd have to walk through all eMails to find the vaulted ones. BTW: On vaulted eMails the MessageClass field reads 'IPM.Note.EnterpriseVault.Shortcut' in its entirety.
2: Folder structure
I then wanted to replicate my folder tree in the target PST – just … well: just 'cause I'm used to. That's a little recursion:

3: Get the search folder to retrieve the vaulted eMails from
Finding the respective search folder is just an iteration over all stores and figuring out the SearchFolder object with the right name.
4: Finally – the eMail copy routine
Microsoft Outlook Enterprise Vault Add In Gmail
That one's the major piece of it; with every eMail retrieved from the SearchFolder you got to Nokia lumia 920 usb driver windows 10.
- Open it by the
MailItem.Displaycommand; this creates an Inspector object - Grab the
Application.ActiveInspectorand from that theInspector.CurrentItem - Once the MailItem is discovered you can copy it:
currentItem.Copy. That's a major step. You could just right away move the item into the target folder in your PST, but that would not void the vault link. - Finally – after that copy operation – you can now move the MailItem in the destined target folder (I made sure it is the same as in the original mail store):
MailItem.Move targetFolderName - After moving, close the item without changes:
MailItem.Close olDiscard
With that operation on any of the vaulted eMails they get freed and accessible without vault connection.
Now – a few useful hints
for the benefit of your patience:
- The Outlook forms cache is a tricky beast. As Enterprise Vault uses a bunch of custom forms to handle vaulted eMails, the forms cache is heavily used during this operation. I removed it before execution and also made sure that in case it gets scrambled again forms would be loaded from their original source instead to load'em from the cache. Here's a few sources on the Outlook forms cache and the ForceFormReload registry key.
- This still did not allow the macro to execute on all the 1300-something eMails I had to unvault. Ultimately, a simple
DoEventscommand in the macro's main loop allowed Outlook to regularly recover from its heavy use of the forms cache. - Where to start? I used the namespace method
PickFolderand simply chose the right folder to target my eMails to by the dialog it throws up. - Deletion after unvault: You might wanna consider deleting any vaulted eMail from your main mail store once it's been copied to the PST.
So, finally the end result now resides within my Outlook Applicaiton as a VBA routine and lets me regularly unvault and PST-archive my eMail.
Nice . I think.
