Configuring the additional Active Directory synchronization options

Enterprise Vault.cloud™ CloudLink Administration Guide

The Additional AD Sync Options configuration step provides the following settings to control whether CloudLink disables Personal.cloud login or both login and archiving under certain circumstances:

For user accounts disabled in Active Directory

This setting applies to both non-recurrent and recurrent CloudLink tasks, when they synchronize a user account that is disabled in Active Directory.

CloudLink ignores this setting for all Active Directory accounts that are associated with linked mailboxes.

See About accounts that are associated with linked mailboxes, below.

This setting also determines the effect of the Disable Archive setting in CloudLink Task Manager.

See Selecting the actions for a task to perform in an Exchange environment

For user accounts deleted in Active Directory

This setting applies only to any recurrent CloudLink tasks that synchronize the account before the deletion, and then run again after the deletion. For CloudLink to recognize the change, the same recurrent task must run before and after the account deletion.

CloudLink has no visibility of expired Active Directory accounts.

For user accounts leaving an Organizational Unit selected for synchronization

This setting applies only to any recurrent CloudLink tasks that synchronize the Organizational Unit before the account leaves, and then run again after the account has left. For CloudLink to recognize the change, the change to be recognized, the same recurrent task must run before and after the change.

For each setting you can choose from the following options:

Do nothing

CloudLink makes no changes to the Enterprise Vault Personal.cloud login, or to the Enterprise Vault.cloud archiving settings for the user account.

Disable Enterprise Vault Personal.cloud Login

CloudLink disables the Enterprise Vault Personal.cloud login for the user account. New emails continue to be archived to the account. Archived emails remain accessible for eDiscovery.

Disable Enterprise Vault.cloud Archiving and Login

CloudLink disables the Enterprise Vault Personal.cloud login for the user account. New emails are not archived to the account. Archived emails remain accessible for eDiscovery.

CloudLink renames the account as follows:

username-Disabled_On_timestamp

About accounts that are associated with linked mailboxes

For accounts that are associated with linked mailboxes CloudLink ignores the For user accounts disabled in Active Directory setting. With linked mailboxes the local Active Directory account is always in a disabled state.

If you want deliberately to disable Personal.cloud login or both login and archiving for an account that is associated with a linked mailbox, you can do as follows:
