You know by now that I write extensively about Symantec Enterprise Vault, and if you want to stay up to date with the latest posts on that topic email subscription is the best way to do so.

Something that people all like to do from time to time is to rearrange their archived email. In the past this probably meant you would create a PST file (or three) and start dragging and dropping data in and creating folders, procrastinating a bit about where to put stuff, and perhaps even copying some things to more than one folder or PST file.
Useful information for all Enterprise Vault administrators out there is that Microsoft have released Office 2013 Service Pack 1:

http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=42006, 64 bit
The updates are a whopping 643 Mb and 774 Mb respectively.
Why is this important to Enterprise Vault Administrators? Well, it is something that can of course be tested with the Enterprise Vault Outlook Add-in, but ‘we’ should all wait until Symantec have given the ‘nod of approval’ before going ahead and installing it in a production environment. There might be as yet unforeseen issues with the Enterprise Vault Outlook Add-in and the service pack.
Interested to know though if anyone has any feedback, please let me know.
A question which is often asked on the Connect Forums is:
Sometimes as an Enterprise Vault administrator or an Enterprise Vault end-user you might need to check if a folder is excluded from archiving with the Exchange Archiving Task. It’s quite simple to check using the Outlook Add-in.
Do you store your Enterprise Vault data on locally attached disks to your server (DAS)? Do you use a Storage Area Network (SAN)? Do you use Network Attached Storage (SAN)?
Whatever you use, the storage has to be fast, and reliable.
