Cause

Microsoft Outlook calls Enterprise Vault Add-In when a user deletes shortcut(s), but doesn't call Enterprise Vault Add-In when AutoArchive deletes shortcut(s) and that Enterprise Vault Add-In can't know these shortcuts are deleted.
 

Workaround: Veritas recommend to disable Outlook's AutoArchive function. 

 

Resolution

This is a limitation caused by Microsoft Outlook's API  design.

 

Applies To

Enterprise Vault for Microsoft Exchange.
Some users use Microsoft Outlook's AutoArchive function.
