Quest Archive Manager

The Email Search Form


The Email Search form is a tabbed form that lets you perform detailed and flexible searches. A search is defined by any combination of search criteria you enter on one or more tabbed panels: Search (for a text string), To/From, Date Range, Attachments, Mailbox, and Tags. A search is executed by clicking the Search button that appears below the tabbed panels.
Since actual eDiscovery runs are often needed under rush circumstances, you might want to try one or more practice eDiscovery runs during non-critical times to familiarize yourself with the tool and its baseline times, and just to become comfortable with the process.

For Exchange systems, Archive Manager indexes all the meaningful fields of non-email items as if they were parts of a message body, to make them available to text searches. These non-email item types include:
calendar appointments personal appointments meeting invitations tasks task requests sticky notes contacts personal distribution lists

For GroupWise systems, public messages, private messages, and calendar items are indexed. A simple text search may therefore return these non-email items if the search string occurs in those items as part of a meeting location, appointment time, contact company name, etc.

Searching Email

Search Controls
Tabbed Panels for Search Criteria
The criteria for different types of searches are defined on different tabbed panels within the search form: Search: Perform text-based searching. To/From: Search for messages that have been sent to or received from a particular person or persons. Date Range: Search for messages received on a specific date or between specific dates. Attachments: Search for attachment content. This tab lets you specify the file name, size and type. Mailbox: Search for messages in a specific mailbox, or a specific folder within a mailbox. You can also select to search subfolders within the specified folder. Tags: Search for messages by user-defined categories.

The Save Search tab does not define any search criteria, but rather lets you save and reuse commonly used or complex searches. These features are described separately under Saving and Reusing Searches below.
Search criteria may be effectively "hidden" on a non-selected tabthat is, all search criteria defined on all tabs remain in force, even though some may not be visible when the Search button is clicked to execute a search. We therefore recommend that you routinely click Clear before starting each new search, to remove any lingering criteria defined on other tabs.

Checkboxes for Search Criteria


All Users: A mark in this checkbox tells the Search feature to search the entire Archive Manager archive for messages, or attachments. This checkbox is visible only if your account is assigned to a security role that has been granted the Search All Emails security action.
When you conduct a search in a specific mailbox, selecting All Users does not override the mailbox-level search. Only the selected mailbox will be searched.

All Instances: A mark in this checkbox tells the Search feature to search the local server and all Federated Search Instances. This checkbox is visible only if your user credentials are authorized to "Search All Instances".

15

Quest Archive Manager

Multi-Criteria Searches
If you enter search criteria on more than one tab, the criteria are cumulative. That is, the search will return only results that meet all of the criteria entered. Each tab you use therefore further limits the results of a search. You can define multi-criteria searches like this all at oncedefining all criteria on multiple tabs and then clicking the Search button. Or you can refine a search iteratively: performing an initial search, then reviewing the results, and then defining additional criteria and re-running the search to incrementally narrow the scope of the results over a series of two or more searches.

How to Perform a Search


To perform a search: 1. 2. Define search criteria in one or more of the tabbed panels, as described separately under Search Criteria Tabs below. Mark or unmark the checkboxes to the right of the Search button to indicate whether you want to search All Users and/or All Instances (if these options are available to your user credentials). Click the Search button to execute the search.

3.

See Viewing Your Search Results below for information about the results display, and what you can do with the Results Table.

Search Criteria Tabs


Search Tab (Text-Match Search)
The Search tab lets you perform text-based searches.
For Exchange systems, Archive Manager indexes all the meaningful fields of non-email items (calendar appointments, meeting invitations, tasks, contacts, and so forth) as if they were parts of a message body, to make them available to text searches. So, for example, a simple text search may return such non-email items if the search string occurs in those items as part of a meeting location, appointment time, contact company name, etc.

To define a search on this tab for a message or attachment containing a specific word or phrase: Search for: Enter the word, phrase or other text string that you want the feature to find. See Text Search Guidelines below for more information.

16

Searching Email

Search in: Define the scope of the search by checking one or more of the checkboxes to indicate where to conduct your search:
Subject: The subject lines of messages (pre-selected by default). Body: The main message contents of messages (pre-selected by default). Attachments: The files attached to messages.

General Text Search Guidelines


Text-string searches are subject to these rules and conventions: Case: All text-string searches are case-insensitive. Multiple search terms: Two or more terms separated by spaces in the Search for field are regarded as multiple separate search terms, one of which must occur in the message (or attachment). Multiple search terms may occur in any order. For example:
contract dispute will return all items that contain either word, regardless of whether the words appear adjacent to each other, and regardless of the order in which they occur.

Searching for an exact phrase: To search for an exact phrase (two or more terms separated by spaces, occurring in a particular order), enclose the phrase within quotes. For example:
"contract dispute" will return all items that contain the phrase "contract dispute," but not messages that contain just one word or the other, or that contain both words but not adjacent to each other in the quoted order.

Common short words: The Search feature ignores short common words such as:
a an and are as at be but by for if in into is it no not of on or such that the their then there these they this to was will with

Do not use common short words when searching in phrases. For example, for the phrase: "Meet at noon for lunch" Use: "Meet noon lunch"

17

Quest Archive Manager

Wildcard Searches: Archive Manager supports wildcard searches with an asterisk character or a question mark. An asterisk stands for zero or more unspecified characters, and can occur in the middle or at the end of a search string. A question mark will perform a single character wildcard search. Wildcards do not work in exact phrase queries. For example:
test*: finds such words as the following: "test"; "tests"; "testing"; and "testimonial".

A wildcard may not occur as the first character of a search string.


te?t: finds such words as the following: "text"; "test"; and "tent".

Fuzzy Searches: To perform a fuzzy search, use the tilde "~" symbol at the end of a single word. For example:
bat~: finds such words as "fat" and "bats".

Proximity Searches: To perform a proximity search, use the tilde "~" symbol at the end of a phrase. For example:
"Archive Manager"~6: finds results that contain the words "Archive" and "Manager" within six words of each other.

Boolean Operators: Boolean operators let you combine terms with logic operators to create complex, compound search expressions. Archive Manager supports Boolean operators AND, OR, NOT, and the concatenations '+', and '-'. Boolean operators are case-insensitive, and will be interpreted as Boolean operators unless they occur within a quoted search string. Concatenations do not require a space:
DESCRIPTION EXAMPLE For documents that contain 'sales meeting' and 'meeting room': "sales meeting" AND "meeting room" For documents that must contain the words 'meeting' and 'room' within several words of each other in the message component(s) specified: +meeting room For documents that contain either 'meeting request' or just 'meeting': "meeting request" || meeting or "meeting request" OR meeting The AND operator returns results where both terms exist anywhere in the text of a single document. The symbol && can be used in place of the word AND. The '+' or required operator requires that the term after the '+' symbol exist somewhere in the field of a single document.

AND or &&

OR or ||

The OR operator is the default conjunction operator. This means that if there is no Boolean operator between two terms, the OR operator is used. The OR operator links two terms and returns results if either of the terms exist in a document. The symbol || can be used in place of the word OR.

18

Searching Email

DESCRIPTION NOT The NOT operator excludes documents that contain the term after NOT. This is equivalent to a difference using sets. The symbol '!' can be used in place of the word NOT. The '' or prohibit operator excludes documents that contain the term after the '' symbol.

EXAMPLE For documents that contain 'meeting request' but not 'room': "meeting request" NOT room For documents that contain 'sales meeting' but not 'meeting room': "sales meeting" "meeting room"

The NOT operator can be used only in conjunction with a positive query. For example, a search for NOT "meeting request" will return no results.

Grouping: Archive Manager supports using double quotes to group clauses to form sub-queries. For example, to search for items that contain either "sales" or "team" in addition to the word "meeting" you could use the query: "sales OR team" AND meeting (see Boolean Operators above).
http://lucene.apache.org/java/2_9_2/queryparsersyntax.html#Groupin g Lucene supports using parentheses to group clauses to form sub queries. This can be very useful if you want to control the boolean logic for a query.

Special Characters: Archive Manager does not index non alpha-numeric characters, with the exception of certain common patterns including email addresses, IP addresses and URLs. It is recommended that you exclude the following special characters in search queries as they will be removed as part of the search process. However, if used, the following characters need to be escaped using the '\' character:
+ - && || ! ( ) { } [ ] ^ " ~ * ? : \

Advanced Searches
If you wish to perform advanced searches including the following, refer to the Apache Lucene documentation: Additional parameters for performing a Fuzzy search Boosting a Term Grouping

To/From Tab
The To/From tab lets you find messages that have been sent to or received from a particular person or persons. Enter the recipient or sender information in the appropriate fields: To or From: Finds messages sent to or from the specified person or persons. To: Finds only messages sent to a specific person or persons. From: Finds only messages received from a specific person or persons.

Multiple values can be specified in any field, by entering semicolons (;) to separate the values: fred.smith@domain.com; john.jones@domain.com. When multiple values are entered in a field, the search will return emails that contain any of the listed addresses. (A semicolon functions as an OR operator.) For example, a search for emails To 'john@domain.com; fred@domain.com' will return both emails to John and emails to Fred, plus any emails to both of them.
The OR operator is not recognized in the To/From tab. You must use a semicolon, as described above, to compose a multi-value search expression that will return results containing any of the multiple terms.

If values are entered into both the To and From fields, the search results are cumulative; results will include only messages that match both criteria. In any of these fields, you may enter: All or part of an email address (for example: fred.jones@domain.com or *@domain.com). All or part of a display name (for example: John Smith or *Smith).

Values are case-insensitive.

Headers
Message headers provide a list of technical details, such as the message ID, who it came from, the date and the thread index. These details can be useful for identifying problems with email or identifying sources of unsolicited commercial email messages. Message-ID: The message has been given this number for identification purposes. This ID number is assigned to the message permanently. From: Whom the message is from and the sender's email address. To: The person(s) to whom the message was addressed. Subject: The subject of an email message. Date: The date and time that the email message was sent, based upon the computer clock on the sender's computer. Thread-Topic: The topic for the messages contained in this thread. Thread-Index: This header is used for associating multiple messages to a similar thread. Content-class: This is an additional MIME header. It tells MIME-compliant email programs what type of content to expect in the message. MIME-Version: Specifies the version of the MIME protocol that was used by the sender.

Message-ID: The message has been given this number for identification purposes. This ID number is assigned to the message permanently. Recipients: The person(s) to whom the message was addressed and their email addresses.

There are two types of journaling: Message-only journaling: This type of journaling captures all messages from users on a specific MailBox database and sends the message copy to a specified journaling MailBox. Envelope journaling: This type of journaling is available only with Microsoft Exchange. Envelope journaling is different from standard journaling in that it lets you archive P1 message headers (envelope headers). This includes information about the recipients, including BCC recipients and recipients from distribution groups. The journal report is able to contain an expansion of the recipient list for the message only if envelope journaling is configured. Example: If the original message was sent to the group all@yourcompany.com, the journal report will display all individual email addresses within the group all@yourcompany.com.

About Standard MailBoxes


Messages are organized into MailBoxes, mimicking the MailBox structure of the Microsoft Exchange or Novell GroupWise mail server. In addition, Personal Information Store (PST) files can be loaded into Archive Manager, so Archive Manager can also access messages stored on your local computer.
If you introduce changes to a PST file after it has been loaded into Archive Manager, these changes are not automatically reflected in Archive Manager. The PST file must be loaded again before new messages stored in the PST file will be displayed in Archive Manager.

Archive Manager uses an agent to scan email messages and dynamically build a folder structure that parallels the folder structure of MailBoxes found on the Microsoft Exchange server or within a PST file. The folders found in the MailBox or PST file are automatically added to the MailBoxes menu in Archive Manager, and can be displayed or hidden by expanding or collapsing the tree structure of the menu.
When using a MailBox, be aware of the following: For Archive Manager to process the subfolders correctly, make sure their names do not coincide with the system folder names in Exchange or GroupWise. (e.g. Creating "Sent items", "Deleted Items" or "Trash" subfolders under Outlook Inbox/ GroupWise Cabinet might result in issues with folder display in Archive Manager). Because the folder agent is configured by the Archive Manager System Administrator to run at set intervals, if a message is placed into a folder on the Microsoft Exchange server, there may be some delay before the message is displayed in the parallel folder in Archive Manager. Archive Manager does not provide any email management functionality. The management of messages, such as creating MailBoxes or folders or moving messages between MailBoxes or folders must be performed using your email client application. Use extreme caution when deleting folders from the email client. You must allow sufficient time for the folder agent to discover the deletion and synchronize your Deleted Items folder accordingly before you empty the Deleted Items folder.

46

Standard MailBoxes

To display messages stored in a MailBox or in a folder within a MailBox: 1. Navigate to and select the MailBox or folder from the MailBoxes menu, in the Tools sidebar. A list of the messages in the MailBox is displayed.
Selecting a MailBox or folder essentially executes a search in Archive Manager. The search criteria used are automatically added to the MailBoxes tab of the Email Search form. See the Mailbox Tab section for more options.

2.

Use the Email Search tabs to further refine the search if required.

Types of MailBoxes
Archive Manager MailBoxes work in a way similar to MailBoxes in Microsoft Exchange, Novell GroupWise, or other similar email systems. They can be "real"associated with a particular email addressor Custom (Virtual) MailBoxes that receive email sent to any of several email addresses or to any email address that contains a particular string. Essentially, Archive Manager provides two types of MailBoxes within this area:
This is a standard MailBox, which typically corresponds to an individual user's email. This is a more flexible MailBox created to provide access to another user's MailBox. This will appear only if you have been given permission to view their MailBox.

Email addresses that comprise a Custom (Virtual) MailBox can be either a combination of a specific individual email address or a wildcard email address, which provides greater flexibility as to which addresses are accessible from the Custom MailBox. Enter wildcard email address in the format *@somecompany.com. Security can be assigned to users to allow them to have access to your standard MailBox.
The MailBox menu can be collapsed (hidden), by clicking on the arrow icon to the right of the menu heading The MailBox menu can be expanded (un-hidden), by clicking on the down arrow icon to the right of the menu heading.

Questionable Access
The Questionable Access reports provide information about possible unauthorized access by Archive Manager users. This feature tracks users given "Search All Emails" privilege but not the "Edit Logins/Mailbox" privilege and who are reading emails from mailboxes which they are not specifically given access to. These reports do not necessarily indicate unauthorized access to emails, since the access may have been authorized. Rather, the instances of access in the reports are "questionable"- items that can (should) be investigated if desired.

Working with the Archive Manager Offline Client
Overview Accessing Your Archived Messages Offline Finding Messages

Quest Archive Manager

Overview
This chapter explains how Archive Manager allows you offline access stripped messages. The following sections explain how to do the following: Work with your archive (including the shortcut messages). Access your archived messages offline. Access your archived messages from Microsoft Outlook.

Accessing Your Archived Messages Offline


How it Works
To have ongoing access to your archived messages from your computer or laptop when you are away from the corporate network (for example, when you are on a business trip), you have to store the items you need on your computer using the Offline Client functionality. When you switch the Offline Client to Cached Mode, Archive Manager creates a set of Cached Folders, which are the offline copy of your archive. To keep your cached folders up to date, you need to either synchronize them now and then or configure automatic synchronization. To make your work with the archive easier, your network administrator may enforce certain values to all Cached Mode settings, including synchronization and cached folder management. If you apply different settings, they will be changed back to the defaults set by the administrator the next time you run Microsoft Outlook. If you decide that you no longer need the local copy of your archive, you can delete it from your computer. You can also set a time filter that will automatically delete old messages. To learn more about how to synchronize and manage offline content, please refer to the Managing Cached Folders section later in this chapter.
The Offline Client may fail to reconstruct stripped messages when Microsoft Outlook is running in cached mode. You can search the Offline Client .pst file to find a message if the .pst file has been synchronized with Archive Manager.

Working with the Archive Manager Offline Client

Before You Start


Before you start working with the offline copy of your archive, please check your sign-in settings. Note that this check is important, because if the settings are incorrect, you may not be able to make your archive available offline. First of all, you need to define whether the website you use to access your archive is located in the intranet zone or the internet zone. Some general tips are provided below, but if you are in doubt, please contact your system administrator.

Do You Have an Intranet Archive Site?


Usually, the address of an intranet archive site will look like http://archivemanager.yourcompany.com. If this is the case, follow these steps: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. Run Microsoft Internet Explorer. Click Tools | Internet Options on the main menu. In the Internet Options dialog, go to the Security tab. Select the Local intranet zone, and click Custom Level. In the Security Settings dialog, go to the end of the security settings list. Under User Authentication | Logon: Make sure the Automatic logon only in intranet zone option is selected. Click OK.

Do You Have an Internet Archive Site?


The address of an internet archive site will usually look like http://archivemanager.yourcompany.com. If this is the case, follow these steps: 1. 2. 3. 4. Run Microsoft Internet Explorer. Click Tools | Internet Options on the main menu. In the Internet Options dialog, go to the Security tab. Select the Internet zone, and click Custom Level.
If you know that the archive Web site is included in another zone (for example, in the Trusted sites zone), select this zone, click Custom Level, and proceed to step 5.

69

Quest Archive Manager

5. 6. 7.

In the Security Settings dialog, go to the end of the security settings list. Under User Authentication | Logon: Make sure the Automatic logon with current username and password option is selected. Click OK.
If you are using Internet Explorer 7, adding the Archive Manager web server URL to Trusted sites may still prompt the user for credentials. Adding the site to the Local Intranet Zone will solve this problem if the Archive Manager site URL contains a local domain.

Turning Cached Mode On or Off


Switching to Cached Mode
To switch to cached mode: 1. Select any folder in your MailBox and click either Cached Mode on the Offline Access toolbar or Tools | Offline Client | Cached Mode on the main menu. This starts the wizard. On the Welcome screen, click Next. Select which messages will be available offline based on when they were received. You can select one of the following intervals:
Anytime Last week Last month Custom, which lets you specify the interval manually

2. 3.

4.

Click Finish to complete the wizard.

Synchronization of the folder hierarchy starts right after you complete the wizard. To synchronize the content of specific folders, you need to make them available offline, as explained below.

Switching from Cached Mode


To switch off cached mode, use the Cached Mode Wizard. This will not delete the offline copies of the MailBox folders. To run the wizard, click either Cached Mode on the Offline Access toolbar or Tools | Offline Client | Cached Mode on the main menu. Then follow the wizard's instructions.

Working with the Archive Manager Offline Client

Making Folders Available Offline


Once you have switched to cached mode, you can make the folders you need available offline. This will let you access the messages in the cached folders even when no connection to the Archive Manager server is available.
Note that offline content is read-only. This means that you can read, forward, and reply to messages, but you cannot move or modify them.

Making One or Few Folders Available Offline


If you need to make only one or a few folders offline, perform the following for each folder you want to be available offline: 1. 2. Select a folder in the navigation pane. Click Cached Folder on the Offline Access toolbar.

Making Many Folders Available Offline


If you need to make many folders offline, use the Offline Archive tab in the Outlook Options dialog. To open the dialog, click Tools | Options on the Outlook menu bar. On the Offline Archive tab, select the check boxes next to the folders you want to be available offline, and then click OK.
Selecting a folder to be available or unavailable offline will not select its subfolders. To apply the setting to a folder and all its subfolders, right-click the desired folder and select either Select All Subfolders or Clear All Subfolders from the shortcut menu

Making Folders Unavailable Offline


If you no longer need to use a cached folder, select the folder in the navigation pane and either click Cached Folder or select Tools | Offline Client | Cached Folder on the main menu to clear the tick next to it. If you need to quickly make many folders unavailable offline, click Tools | Options, and select the Offline Archive tab. Then clear the check boxes next to the folders you no longer need to be available offline.
This operation does not delete offline content from the archive. To delete offline content, open the folder's properties, go to the Offline Archive tab, and click the Clear Offline Items button.

71

Quest Archive Manager

Managing Cached Folders


In order to use cached folders efficiently, you might want to configure the offline archiving process according to your needs. You can: Set rules for the folder synchronization Change where the cached files are stored Delete the offline content
You have to switch cached mode on in order to gain full control over the management options.

To configure most of the settings concerning offline content, click Tools | Options and select the Offline Archive tab.

Moving Offline Storage to a New Desktop


If you need to copy offline version to another location and access it with another instance of Microsoft Outlook, follow these steps 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. Run Microsoft Outlook on the source computer. Turn off cached mode. Click Options on the Tools menu. Go to the Offline Archive tab. Remember the path specified in the Offline Storage Path field. Close Microsoft Outlook. Copy the contents of the folder specified in the Offline Storage Path field to the desired media. On the target computer, install Archive Manager Offline Client. Run the Registry Editor (regedit) on the target computer.

10. Browse to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Quest Software\Archive Manager\Offline2\YOUR_PROFILE_NAME\ OfflineFolderPath.


By default, the Outlook profile is used.

11. Copy your offline data to the location specified in the OfflineFolderPath key.

Working with the Archive Manager Offline Client

12. If the key is missing from the registry, copy your offline data to the following folder: X:\Documents and Settings\ACCOUNT_NAME\ Local Settings\Application Data\Quest Software\Archive Manager\Offline2\YOUR_PROFILE_NAME.
If you copy Microsoft Outlook 2003 offline storage data, you will not be able to use it in Microsoft Outlook XP.

Synchronizing Cached Folders


To keep the local copy of your archive mail folders up to date, you need to synchronize the local folders with the archive from time to time. You can synchronize cached folders either automatically or manually, when needed.

73

Quest Archive Manager

Synchronizing Cached Folders Automatically


By default, folders are not synchronized automatically. To enable automatic synchronization, follow these steps: 1. 2. 3. Click Tools | Options in the Outlook main menu. On the Offline Archive tab, select the Synchronize automatically check box. Select the check box next to Automatically synchronize every and specify how frequently the folders should be synchronized. The default value is 30 minutes.

Synchronizing Cached Folders Manually


If you choose to synchronize your folders manually, you can either synchronize all of them at once or synchronize each folder separately. To synchronize all cached folders manually, click Synchronize on the Offline Access toolbar and select Synchronize All from the dropdown menu. Alternatively, you can go to the Tools | Offline Client menu and select Synchronize All.
The Synchronize and Synchronize All buttons are not available during the synchronization.

When you change the offline storage path when cached mode is off, offline storage data is not moved to the new location automatically. If you want to continue using your existing offline data, you need to copy the offline files to the new location manually.

Finding Messages
You can use the Archive Manager Find toolbar to quickly find messages, even if you don't know whether they have been archived.

76

Working with the Archive Manager Offline Client

You can search using either Quick Find or Find Now, which is similar to Microsoft Outlook's Advanced Find. Both functions can search both your main MailBox and the offline copy of your archive at the same time.
For Exchange systems, Archive Manager indexes all the meaningful fields of non-email items (calendar appointments, meeting invitations, tasks, contacts, and so forth) as if they were parts of a message body, to make them available to text searches. So, for example, a simple text search may return such non-email items if the search string occurs in those items as part of a meeting location, appointment time, contact Company name, etc.

Using Quick Find


If you need to specify only one or several words to search for, use Quick Find, as follows: 1. First, make sure Quick Find will search where you want. By default, it searches the MailBoxes and folders specified for the previous search. If you need to search in different MailBoxes or folders, click Search in and select them. Then click OK. In the Look for box, either type in the words that you want to look for in the messages and press ENTER, or simply select one of your recent searches, which will start the search automatically.

2.

Using Find Now


For more advanced searching, use Archive Manager's Find now function, which works much like Microsoft Outlook's Advanced Find. To display the Archive Manager Find dialog, either click Find now on the Archive Manager Find toolbar, or select Tools | Offline Client | Find Now from the main menu. Specify your search criteria and click Find Now. Messages that match your criteria will be displayed in a results list.

77

Using the Preview Pane in Search Results


To view a message, simply select it in the list, and its content will be displayed in the preview pane. You can change the position of the preview pane or turn it off using the View | Reading Pane menu in the Archive Manager Find dialog.

Finding Messages with the Same Subject


You can also quickly find all messages with the same subject, such as replies and forwarded messages. Just do either of the following: Open a message with the desired subject and select Offline Client | Find Related from the Tools menu. Right-click a message with the desired subject from the search results list and select Find Related from the shortcut menu.
