Exchange Server 2013 SP1 archive mailbox using UNC path on EMC Data Domain deduplication appliance ?
Hi Folks,
Can anyone here please let me know how to achieve successful and supported scenario of placing Exchange Server 2013 Archive mailbox only into EMC Data Domain to get the benefits of Data Deduplication ?
I get confused myself after reading the following pages:
EMC said that it supports Exchange Server (but no version) on their EMC Data Domain DD 2500 appliance page:
While Microsoft said in the Technote that it is only supporting Exchange Archive mailbox for deduplication on this page:
So can anyone please clarify how it is best to specify the \\UNC path in the Archive mailbox database to dedupe the email data successfully and fully supported by Microsoft ?
Thanks in advance

https://store.emc.com/us/Product-Family/DATA-DOMAIN-PRODUCTS/Data-Domain-DD2500/p/DDM-DataDomain-DD2500scroll at the end of the page to see the statement:
Database Platforms Microsoft Exchange Server
While Microsoft said in the Technote that it is only supporting Exchange Archive mailbox for deduplication on this page:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee832792(v=exchg.150).aspxscroll to the bottom of the page to see
Not Supported for Exchange database files. Note: Can be used for Exchange database files that are completely offline (used as backups or archives).
So can anyone please clarify how it is best to specify the \\UNC path in the Archive mailbox database to dedupe the email data successfully and fully supported by Microsoft ?
Thanks in advance

Hi Mirsys,
does that means is it still possible for me to use UNC path only for the Archived mailbox database only ?
Because I want to utilize the EMC Data Domain appliance deduplication to save up disk space.
