Responding to an eDiscovery request carries with it many duties and responsibilities that the court will expect to be carried out in a good faith manner. Several of these duties are set it stone via the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure (FRCP) and should not be ignored or taken lightly.

Believe it or not, email archives and Zombies have quite a lot in common.  Below is my list of common archives/zombie issues.  I would love to hear your horror story with regards to a legacy email that you’ve had problems with during a migration.  Please submit below in the comments.

The automated PST discovery, rehydration, migration and removal solution helps organizations achieve fully defensible and painless moves of email content to the cloud.

First, what is an inactive mailbox? Simply put, an inactive mailbox is one that is no longer used because the mailbox owner (employee) has left the company, leaving the mailbox orphaned. It is very common for mailboxes to remain in the Exchange system after an employee leaves the company for several reasons including standard company practices, lack of company processes, legal reasons i.e. anticipated lawsuits, and regulatory concerns. These orphaned mailboxes can become an issue later, for example if an organization decides to move their email system to the cloud.

I’ve been talking to many Microsoft Office 365 Partners asking them why they almost always avoid the companion email archive migration project. One of the most common answers is: "we just don't have the knowledge of the many email archives and their particular idiosyncrasies; let alone attempt to migrate one of them." This answer baffled me since an archive migration can generate 3-5x the revenue of a single project not to mention, if done correctly, can generate a 90% profit.  You may be asking yourself how….? Well, let me explain.

In todays blog we'll look at how PowerShell reduces the complexity of archive migrations all while providing efficiencies that current archive migration software cannot. 

Like thousands of companies, you are probably considering moving away from an on-premise Microsoft Exchange deployment to the new cloud-based Office 365.  But before you jump in to make the move, consider for a moment if you have a legacy email archive.  If the answer is “Yes”, it is likely that your email archive made a total mess of Exchange.

Are you considering moving your on-premise Exchange Server to the new cloud-based Office 365? If so, you must consider if a legacy email archived is attached to your Exchange Server. Email archiving was a very popular application used to reduce Exchange mailbox size and for regulatory compliance. For compliance, Exchange Journaling was enabled for secure retention of all email sent and received by Exchange.

Happy New Year! We’re already one week into 2016 and I’m wondering how those New Year’s resolutions are working out for you. Apparently the tradition of making New Year’s resolutions stretches back more than 4000 years to the ancient Babylonians. I’m not sure how their resolve to pay off their debts and return borrowed objects to their owners worked out for them. If they were anything like we are today, the majority would already have given up on their well-intentioned resolutions by now.
