Enterprise Vault™ Setting up Exchange Server Archiving

The Enterprise Vault Office Mail App manifest file is not created

If invalid parameter values are supplied for the OfficeMailAppManifest.aspx page for use with the PowerShell cmdlet New-App, no manifest file is created. The cmdlet fails and returns an error message of the following type:

The app couldn't be downloaded. Error message: The remote server returned an error: (500) Internal Server Error.

The following example returns a more detailed error message when the manifest file is not created for a specified individual user. This script also shows how you can download the application manifest to a file, then specify the file in the New-App cmdlet instead of the URL.

$webclient = New-Object Net.Webclient
$webClient.UseDefaultCredentials = $true
