If you have upgraded Enterprise Vault environment from 10.0.x to 11.0 you will notice that the new search application is not accessible to the users and they are still directed to the legacy search applications. There are two ways to make Enterprise Vault Search available to the user
1. Create a Custom Search Provisioning Group, which I explained in my previous blog
2. Upgrade EV Search.
In this blog I will explain how to upgrade EV search.
Note: This process is not reversible.
Upon upgrading from 10.0.x to EV11, within VAC you will find a Search tab in the Site properties.
Clicking on “Upgrade Search” you will get a confirmation message
and once you proceed with the upgrade a default search provisioning group will be created in the VAC under the Client Access-> Search -> Provisioning Group node.
After successful upgrade the Search tab will disappear from the Site properties.
Archive Explorer related option will be removed from the Exchange Desktop Policy and once the Exchange mailbox is synchronized Archive Explorer icon will be removed from the users Outlook too.
All the users from the domain will be provisioned for EVS through the Default Search Provisioning Group and Default Search Policy will be assigned to all the users. The linking of search policy to the search provisioning group will be done post running Client Access Provisioning Task. After upgrading EV search, users will not have access to the legacy search applications like Archive Explorer, Search.asp and Browser Search.
