Discover and Assign New Journal Mailboxes

Before You Begin

Required Capability: See Capabilities and Permitted Actions

To discover and assign new journal mailboxes:

  1. From the CommCell Browser, right-click the agent containing the subclients that you want to assign journal mailboxes, click All Tasks and then click Configure. Alternatively, you can use the Subclient Properties (Content) tab to access its Configure button.
  2. From the Add/Modify Journaling Mailboxes dialog box click the Discover button.
  3. The system displays a confirmation message, informing you that the discovery process can take an unspecified amount of time. Larger Exchange Servers may require several minutes for this operation to complete. Click No if you need to cancel the discovery process, or click Yes to continue. If you continue the discovery process, a progress bar shows the completion status of the operation.
  4. When the discovery process completes, the Add/Modify Journaling Mailboxes dialog box is redisplayed. The window displays the journal mailboxes that have already been assigned; plus any newly discovered journal mailboxes that have not been assigned. The unassigned journal mailboxes are those that have no entry in the Subclient column.
  5. To assign these journal mailboxes, click the Subclient field of each journal mailbox that you want to assign and select the desired subclient from the list.

    Regardless of the assignment method, your choices include:

    If you choose the Do Not Archive subclient, the journal mailbox will not be archived.

  6. To register your journal mailbox assignments with the system, click Apply.
  7. If you have no other journal mailboxes to assign, click OK.
