Automating Archive Limit with Provisioning Group

Hi Folks

 

I am in the process of developing a design of EV environment and one of the requirements is to have a user's

Archive size restricted to 5gb, 10gb and 20gb. For ease of understanding users are categorised as

Standard(5gb), Power(10gb) and Executive(20gb).

 

I think Solution to achieve this would be to configure 3 Provisioning Group; with each provisioning 

group targeting corresponding category of AD Group. One vault stores will be required for each of the 3 category 

and set as default on corresponding provisioning group. Each vault store will have archive limit defined 

accordingly.

 

What I need a clarification around is, what happens when a Standard user is promoted to Power user?

 

Do we have to move his archives from Standard Vault store to Power Vault Store so that his archive 

can grow beyond 5gb limit?

 

or

 

Does EV do it automatically and we can just sit back and relax?

 

When the provisioning task runs will it flag a conflict and not do anything about it?

 

 

Another solution which seems to be easy one is to have just one provisioning group targeting single AD Group with single vault store and just update ArchiveLimit field in sql database to change the Archive limit. This will have to be scripted.

 

However I am not very keen on under the hood changes as it breaks the support contract.

 

Basically I am after an automated solution so that when a user's upgrade request is approved it 

will be as easy as moving their user account to appropriate AD Group.

 

Can you please help by validating this technique or suggest a better way to achieve this.

 

Thanks for your responses, I really appreciate this community.

 

Regards
