I just read a good article on how to stop EV Archiving for a user when they are on Litigation Hold in Exchange: https://www-secure.symantec.com/connect/blogs/exchange-2010-litigation-hold-and-ev#comment-10743491
In my opinion this will simply keep EV from archiving new content from a user that is on Exchange Litigation Hold. Thereby avoiding the user from accumulating deleted items and versions in the Exchange Dumpster. I'm thinking that if the user is on litigation hold Exchange, wouldn't you also need to put the mailbox archive on legal hold to retain that data?
Is there a good way to simply manage EV archives and Exchange 2010 Litigation Hold based on a common process? I'm open to using DA, AD groups, and/or scripts to manage this. The important thing is that I need to ensure that a single action triggers a litigation hold against Exchange and EV for the affected users.
Thanks in advance.
