Description
Error Message
Type : Warning
Event : 6942
Source : Enterprise Vault
Category : SharePoint Task
Computer : EVSERVER
Description:
The Access Control List of the archive/folder identified by '123A4B5678901234567CD8901EF2AB3CD4567890evserver' has been truncated because its length exceeded the maximum.
Number of present Access Control Entries: 1804
Number of truncated Access Control Entries: 3162
V-437-6942
Resolution
The maximum size for an Access Control List (ACL) is 64KB, this typically will work out to around 1800 entries.
Enterprise Vault will expand SharePoint group members and construct an ACL that contains each member, if the total number of members exceeds the 64KB limit the 6942 Warning Event will occur during the Synchronization phase of SharePoint archiving. This event will detail the ArchiveFolderId that Enterprise Vault had to truncate entries for, the number of truncated entries will be listed in the event.
If the SharePoint group members are converted into Windows Security Groups this can prevent the truncation of entries as the Windows Security Group is not expanded and will take up one entry within the ACL.
