Business Goals
As often as possible, Litware plans to minimize the legal fees associated with reviewing eDiscovery requests by purging data as quickly as possible.
Planned Changes
Litware plans to implement the following changes to the network.
– Use Messaging Records Management (MRM) to archive all mailbox items that are older than one year.
– The company announces a new partnership with another company named Fabrikam, Inc. Fabrikam also uses Exchange for email messaging. All the Litware users in the Paris office will be required to receive email by using a fabrikam.com email address and must have this email address applied automatically to their mailbox.
Technical Requirements
– Litware identifies the following technical requirements for the messaging environment:
– Mobile devices must only sync items from the last 30 days.
– All user data must be wiped from a device reported as lost or stolen.
– Email items in a folder named Audits must be archived after 30 days.
– Users in the sales department must never have the items in their Notes folder archived.
– Whenever possible, email messages sent outside the organization must be routed through the Internet connection of the local office.
– If a WAN link fails, the high-availability architecture of the messaging environment must give preference to the WAN link in the New York office.
You need to restore mailbox access for the main office users as quickly as possible.
