Here is an interesting link about end-user guides for Enterprise Vault. It’s something that a few companies decide to either use as-is, or use as a basis of their own document for end users.
The zip file in the technote actually contains a number of guides, including:
The technote also has the documents in many different languages.

Unlike the Enterprise Vault Exchange Mailbox Archiving Task you can not initiate a manual synchronisation of the public folder task, for example, when you have changed some policies, or permissions. The permissions synchronisation takes place during the ‘run now’ or scheduled run of the archiving task.
When processing permissions this is how the DTRACE shows the operations performed:
The thread processing the folder will log that it is beginning the synchronization process:
3248 03:40:15.844 [5000] (PublicFolderTask) <6312> EV:L {CFolderHelper::GetFolderSettings:#1100} Synchronising folder permissions for folder [US]
The thread then loops through the PR_ACL_TABLE:
3249 03:40:15.844 [5000] (PublicFolderTask) <6312> EV:M CSynchHelper::SFP(US) – Opening PR_ACL_TABLE
When there is no change:
10232 05:50:04.988 [692] (PublicFolderTask) <3704> EV:M CSynchHelper::SFP(US) – Not updating security descriptor in the database as it hasn’t changed
That should help you get started in looking at the synchronisation process for public folder archiving.

I am sure I won’t be the only person in the world who has been waiting for what seems like a long time for Enterprise Vault 10.0.1. It is finally here, and should be obtainable from FileConnect.
Here are a couple of really handy links to get you started whilst you wait for the 1.something Gb download to take place:
For me the big things are the new unified client, so there will no longer be a seperate DCOM and HTTP client, and of course Mac OSX Lion support.

Enterprise Vault, Enterprise Vault 10, Exchange, Exchange 2010 2 Comments
There has been quite a few tweets, and discussions around how to compare Enterprise Vault with Exchange 2010. To be honest I’ve seen a few internal-only comparison documents, and discussions.
In some respects I see it as comparing apples with oranges, since Enterprise Vault does soooo much more than Microsoft in the field of archiving. However I know it’s a difficult decision for customers to make, especially ones which are entrenched in the world of Microsoft.
Externally, one of the coolest comparisons that I have found so far is this article :
It is definitely worth having a look through the table as there are some good points, and also read through the comments.
