Set-EVSMTPTarget

Set-EVSMTPTarget sets or updates the specified properties of an existing SMTP target. If you do not specify a site ID using the -SiteID parameter, and Set-EVSMTPTarget cannot determine the site, you are prompted to enter the site ID.

Set-EVSMTPTarget sets the SMTP target information in the directory and on each Enterprise Vault SMTP server in the site.

Use -ArchivingEnabled $true to enable archiving for the target or -ArchivingEnabled $false to disable archiving.

If Set-EVSMTPTarget fails to update the SMTP settings on any of the Enterprise Vault SMTP servers, the GetFailedEVServerList function can list the servers that were not updated. See the help for Get-EVSMTPTarget for an example.

Set-EVSMTPTarget is provided by the snap-in Symantec.EnterpriseVault.PowerShell.AdminAPI.dll.

Parameters

Table: Set-EVSMTPTarget parameters

Parameter	Description
-SiteId (required)	The ID of the site in which you want update the SMTP target.
-Name (required)	The SMTP address of the target.
-PolicyId	The ID of an existing SMTP policy to be associated with the SMTP target.
-PolicyName	The name of an existing SMTP policy to be associated with the SMTP target.
-RetentionCategoryId	The ID of an existing retention category to be associated with the SMTP target.
-RetentionCategory	The name of an existing retention category to be associated with the SMTP target. If you specify a retention category, you can use any archive type.
-RetentionPlan	The name of an existing retention plan to be associated with the archive in which Enterprise Vault will archive the target's messages. The retention category that you have defined in the plan is assigned to the target's messages. Note the following: If the target's archive is associated with one or more targets that could be associated with other archives, the command updates the retention plan of all affected archives. For SMTP journaling and SMTP Group journaling targets, if the associated archive already has a retention plan applied, you cannot change the retention settings. You need to edit the properties of the archive to change the retention settings. For SMTP Mailbox journaling targets, the command updates the retention plan of the associated archive. You cannot specify both a retention category and a retention plan.
-Force	Applies the retention plan specified in -RetentionPlan without prompting for confirmation.
-ArchiveId -ArchiveName	Use either ArchiveId or ArchiveName to specify the archive in which Enterprise Vault will archive the target's messages. Note the following: You cannot specify both the archive ID and the archive name. If you have associated a list of archives with an SMTP Journaling or SMTP Group Journaling target, Set-EVSMTPTarget overwrites the existing list of archives with the specified archive. To associate multiple archives with an SMTP Journaling or SMTP Group Journaling target, use ArchiveIds or ArchiveNames.
-ArchiveIds -ArchiveNames	Use either ArchiveIds or ArchiveNames to associate multiple archives with an SMTP Journaling or SMTP Group Journaling target. For details of SMTPTargetArchiveIDs object, type get-help about_SMTPTargetArchiveIDs. Note the following: You cannot specify both the archive ID and the archive name. All archives associated with a target must have the same retention settings. Set-EVSMTPTarget overwrites the existing list of archives. You can use Get-EVSMTPTarget to get the list of associated archives and use this information to update the target using Set-EVSMTPTarget. To associate a single archive with an SMTP Journaling or SMTP Group Journaling target, use ArchiveId or ArchiveName. You cannot use these parameters to update an SMTP Mailbox Journaling target.
-ArchiveType (required if you want to update the archives)	The type of archive in which Enterprise Vault will archive the messages from the target. The value you can specify here depends on the value that you specified in -TargetType when you created this target using the New-EVSMTPTarget cmdlet. If -TargetType is SMTPJournaling or SMTPGroupJournaling, you can specify one or more archive types. The valid archive types are: DominoJournal ExchangeJournal Shared SMTP If -TargetType is SMTPMailboxJournaling, you can specify one of the following archive types: ExchangeMailbox InternetMail
-ArchivingEnabled	Set to $true to archive the target's messages (incoming and outgoing). Set to $false to disable archiving for the target.
