Veritas Enterprise Vault 14.1: Administration

As organisations digitise their operations, email becomes both their most-used communication channel and one of their largest stores of business records. Without a managed archive, mailbox servers slow down, storage budgets stretch, and historic correspondence becomes almost impossible to find. Enterprise Vault addresses that by moving older items into a structured, searchable archive governed by clear retention rules.

Enterprise Vault training in Ethiopia gives the administrators behind that archive a thorough, practical grounding. The Veritas Enterprise Vault 14.1: Administration course runs over five instructor-led days and follows the lifecycle of archived content: archiving it from Exchange, giving users access, migrating legacy PST files, storing and indexing it, retaining and deleting it on schedule, and recovering the environment when needed. Hands-on labs accompany most of the 20 lessons. The product is now offered under the Arctera name, and the course remains the reference programme for administering version 14.1.

Course Structure and Key Details

The course takes five days, is guided throughout by an instructor, and contains 20 lessons, most of which include lab work. Classroom delivery is the format given in the authorised partner outlines, and our Addis Ababa team will confirm what is available for your preferred dates.

Learners begin with the essentials of Enterprise Vault administration, working in the Administration Console and enabling auditing in the lab. The course then moves to Exchange: maintaining archiving targets and tasks, with coverage of Database Availability Groups, configuring mailbox archiving through policies and provisioning groups, and managing client settings.

The middle of the course is devoted to user access and data intake. Learners configure Outlook access through Policy Manager, Vault Cache and Virtual Vault, and the Office Mail App and Outlook on the web. They maintain journal archiving and then complete two lessons on PST migration that move from an introduction to the process to performing client-driven and server-driven migrations.

The final part of the course focuses on sustaining a healthy archive. Topics include server monitoring, database maintenance and updates, two storage maintenance lessons that cover archive moves, and cloud storage configuration for Amazon S3, Amazon C2S, Microsoft Azure, and generic S3 primary storage. Learners apply retention categories and retention plans, explore records management and single-instance storage, manage indexes, work with Information Classifier policies, and manage Enterprise Vault Search, including archive permissions and user deletion and recovery. The course closes with the dashboard, reporting and auditing, and an overview of disaster recovery.

Participants should bring working knowledge of Windows Server 2016 and some system administration experience. Basic knowledge of Exchange and Outlook is sufficient, and power-user or administrator familiarity with SQL Server, Exchange, and Active Directory is beneficial. The published outline does not include a certification exam.
