Exchange 2007 Journaling.

We have exchange 2007 Enterprise Servers in our Org.

Planning to implement Journaling for legal requirments to 20000 users.

With regards to this i have the below questions. Please clarify:

1. We are planning to go for Premium journaling . Already in the Org Management we have Journaling tab.Still do we need to go for CAL license. If yes please let me know the process.

2. Created 4 mailboxes each in one database & 2 databases per Server.
   Server1            Server 2
=======================
  DB1                    DB2
==========================
 Journal Mb1      Journal Mb3
Journal Mb2    Journal Mb4
-------------------------------------------------
How to enable Journal agent rule to map 5000 users load to each mailbox. Can we do it from GUI or need to go for shell command.

3. Do we have any Microsoft or 3rd party tools for generating Journal reports.

Hi Sembee2 & Exchange_Geek

Thanks for your response.

Exchange Geek:
The 4 Journal mailboxes are given as inputs to the Symantec Enterprise Vault. So whenever mails comes it will be archived.

I really forgot to mention this. In this case do i need to have more than 4 mailboxes & please suggest me with distributing 5000 load to each mailbox with Journal rule.

The Reports is for the compliance team: we need to check the total emails journaled with total email archivied . From EV we can get the total email archived.

Need to get a summarized report of Journal traffic with date, total messages & Size.

Please suggest.
There is no system in the rules for distributing the users. I checked the rules document on Technet.

This is the full command set:

If you are journaling in to EV, why do you need multiple databases, why not use one and let EV sort it out.

Simon.

Hi Sembee,

Can we create a rule to process and identify emails starts from a range of letters in the below format.

A - H   - Routes to Journal mailbox 1

I -  P   - Routes to Journal mailbox 2

Q -  V   - Routes to Journal mailbox 3

W -  z   - Routes to Journal mailbox 4
Have you actually looked at the Technet article I have posted above?
The ONLY filtering available to you is per database. Nothing else.

Simon.
