New Barracuda Message Archiver Deployment
If this is a new deployment, prior to migrating your Exchange Server, consider the following:
You can deploy the Barracuda Message Archiver as a searchable “backup” of your email stores prior to migration to allow users to
access all of their emails even when mail stores are unavailable during the Exchange migration.
If you are upgrading to Exchange Server 2010 SP1 or higher, ensure that Microsoft’s “automapping” feature is enabled for the new
Exchange Server integration with Active Directory (AD) for best performance by the Barracuda Message Archiver.
You can set up the Barracuda Message Archiver to stub message attachments to reduce mailbox size prior to the Exchange Server
migration, or to import all historic email content present on the Exchange Server prior to migration.

Existing Barracuda Message Archiver Deployment
If you previously deployed the Barracuda Message Archiver with an Exchange Server and you are planning to migrate to a newer version of
Exchange Server, consider the following:
The Barracuda Message Archiver uses the unique user SID available for assigning PST files and folder information to AD users at the
time of login. When you migrate to a newer version of Exchange Server, your users may receive a new SID. While users are still able to
view all of their emails, they may not have PST or folder information available as that information on the Barracuda Message Archiver is
associated with the original SID.
To resolve this issue, at the time of migration, the Exchange Administer needs to populate the attribute on the new AD tosIDHistory
establish a reference to the previous SID. In most instances this is all that is needed for the user to have full access to their historic folder
and PST names. Contact Barracuda Networks Technical Support if you have additional questions or encounter any issues.
Once the Exchange Server migration is complete, you may need to update the Barracuda Message Archiver’s Directory Services
configuration, Exchange Integration configuration, and/or Journal Account information as appropriate for the new Exchange Server.
For example, Exchange server local domain name, IP address, bind credentials, etc. must be updated.
Relocating a Previously Deployed Barracuda Message Archiver
If you previously deployed the Barracuda Message Archiver with an Exchange Server, and are planning to either relocate or change the local
hostname of the Barracuda Message Archiver when migrating to a newer version of Exchange Server, the Barracuda Message Archiver, as well
as any clients connecting to the Barracuda Message Archiver, may need to be updated with the new information including:
Go to the page, and update the section. The hostname in this page is usedBASIC > Administration External Access Configuration
when linking stubbed attachments and resolve to the Barracuda Message Archiver.must
If there are historic Stubbing URLs present on the Exchange Server that use an outdated hostname, Barracuda NetworksContact
Technical Support for assistance with updating these stubbing links on the Exchange Server.
Reconfigure the Outlook Add-In and end users with the new Barracuda Message Archiver location.
Reconfigure the and end users with the new BarracudaBarracuda Message Archiver Stand Alone Search Utility - Windows Deployment

you can leverage the journaling capabilities of the Barracuda Spam Firewall to copy messages to your Barracuda Message Archiver. To capture
