Description

It may become necessary to move the location of (VIC) Policies to a centralized location instead of having to recreate polices on additional Enterprise Vault (EV) servers. The following process describes how to change the location of your (VIC) Policies. 

To determine the current location of (VIC) Policies perform the following:

  • Launch Enterprise Vault Management Shell
  • Type the following cmdlet:  get-evclassificationstatus
  • Output similar to the following will be displayed.

  • Make a back up copy of the VICPolicies folder. 

Next it will be necessary to disable (VIC).

  • In Enterprise Vault Management Shell Type the following command: Disable-EVClassification -VIC
  • A successful result will indicate the VICEnabled Column will display FALSE

Next Identify a new centralized locations location for the (VIC) Policies. For example: S:\VICPolicies.

  • Make this folder a share on the server. 
  • Ensure that both the Vault Service Account and the Data Access Account have Full control on at the share and folder level to the new location. 
  • Note: The Data Access Account is specified in the properties of the Directory object in the Vault Administration Console.

Re-enable (VIC) specifying the new (VIC) Policies location.

  • From Enterprise Vault Management Shell type the following command:
    • Initialize-EVClassificationVIC -policiespath \\ev01\VICPolicies
  • Next you can copy the contents from the original VICPolicies folder to the new folder.
  • To ensure the new location is working rename or delete the old location and test your customer policies with the Analyzer.
