Your machine is now ready for use with GFI MailArchiver.

Preparing SQL server You can use GFI MailArchiver with Microsoft Access (to evaluate how it works for example), however for production use, you must use Microsoft SQL Server 2000. Before you install GFI MailArchiver you must create a database on your SQL server for GFI MailArchiver to work, as well as enable full text search indexing. This is required if you want to search for keywords in email-bodies. NOTE: GFI MailArchiver 2 works only with Microsoft SQL Server 2000.

Installing and enabling ‘Full text Search’ To be able to search for text in the body, GFI MailArchiver requires the 'Full-Text Search' component to be installed. Once it detects the presence of the module, GFI MailArchiver will index the e-mail. Searching the email body is ONLY supported if using Microsoft SQL Server. 1. Run SQL Server set-up, choose the installation option 'Upgrade, remove, or add components to an existing instance of SQL Server' screen option and press Next.

Enabling Envelope Journaling (optional) In order to archive the full mail delivery information such as SMTP MAIL FROM, list of actual recipients, Blind Carbon Copy recipients etc, you have to enable Envelope journaling on your Exchange Server. For more information about Envelope Journaling please visit this Microsoft Knowledge Base article: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;843105. This step is optional. Without envelope journaling enabled, GFI MailArchiver will still archive all mail. You can skip this step if you do not want the mail header information archived. You can use either the Exejcfg or the ADSI editor tool to enable envelope journaling.

Using the Exejcfg.exe tool You can download the exejcfg.exe tool from the Microsoft website. Go to the Microsoft search page and type the name to find the location. Once you have downloaded and unzipped it to a directory: 1. Open the command prompt 2. Navigate to the directory in which you unzipped the tool 3. Type exejcfg –e and press Enter to enable Envelope Journaling GFI MailArchiver 2 for Exchange

Note: exejcfg –d disables Envelope Journaling for that organization Using the ADSI editor You can also use ADSI editor (ADSIEdit.msc - Active Directory Services Interface) to enable Envelope Journaling. This tool can be found in the Windows Server 2003 support tools and Windows 2000 Server resource kit. To do this, follow these steps: 1. Open the ADSIEdit.msc console 2. Expand Configuration Container > CN=Services > CN=Microsoft Exchange, right-click on the CN= node and click Properties to bring up the properties dialog

Screenshot 11 - Editing the heuristics attribute value

3. From the Property to view list select heuristics and enter a value of 512 in the Edit Attribute text box 4. Press the Set button 5. Click OK and close the ADSIEdit console. Note: A value of 512 is used to enable Envelope Journaling, and a value of 0 is used to disable it.
