What Are the System Requirements for Microsoft Exchange Journaling?
Ensure that your Exchange messaging environment includes the following
components:
•
Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 or 2010 Standard or Enterprise Edition
•
Journaling agents configured on the appropriate Hub Transport servers
•
For premium journaling, you also need the Exchange Enterprise Client
Access License (CAL)
Note: Premium journaling can be implemented on Exchange Server 2007 and
2010 Standard and Enterprise versions.
We recommend that you upgrade you Exchange 2007 environment to SP1. You
can find information at the following URL:
Important:
•
You cannot send journaled messages to your archive using a mail-enabled
public folder (folder with an email address) on your Exchange Server. You
must set up a journal recipient mailbox according to the instructions in this
guide.
What Should I Do Before Setting Up Journaling?
Before you set up journaling on your Microsoft Exchange Server, Postini
recommends that you first plan the deployment of your journaling mailboxes,
adjust storage restrictions, create a separate email account for users who can
search the archive, and set up TLS (Transport Layer Security).
Microsoft provides extensive information on its Web site (
www.microsoft.com
)
about journaling and how to deploy it to best suit the needs of your organization.
For example, the Understanding Journaling page in the Microsoft Exchange
Server documentation provides an overview of how journaling works, and
provides links to other relevant information. You can find this page at:
Plan Your Journaling Mailbox Deployment
A journaling mailbox serves only to collect journal reports. With standard
journaling, you configure journaling for each relevant mailbox database. With
premium journaling, you configure rules that identify the groups of senders and
recipients for whom messages are journaled. Depending on the size of your
organization and the configuration of your rules, you may have one or many
journaling mailboxes. In circumstances where you have numerous journaling
mailboxes with large volumes of journal reports, you may want to dedicate specific
resources to those mailbox databases.
