Cause
Starting in Enterprise Vault 11.0.1 the security model is based on Domino UNIDs rather than the Domino Full hierarchical names.
During a retrieval Enterprise Vault checks each user to determine the assigned UNID groups. If any of the Domino groups has an issue with the associated index the retrieval fails and is logged in the Enterprise Vault Event Log.
Resolution
Analyze the Dtrace of the Nserver and identify the Domino group logging the error
Entry not found in index.
Make sure the user is added into the group with the Domino full hierarchical name (for example Test User01/Domain) and follow the steps:
- On the Enterprise Vault Domino Gateway console execute the command:
"load updall -R names.nsf"
- Make sure the names.nsf is properly replicated within the Domino organization
- Restart the Domino Service on the Enterprise Vault Domino Gateway
- Restart the Enterprise Vault services
- Execute an Enterprise Vault Provisioning task
