Welcome to MessageStats Report Pack for Archive Manager
Resolved Issues and Enhancements
Quest Archive Manager is an email archival solution that captures, indexes,
and stores messaging data. It is designed to help you control message data
volumes, reduce the costs associated with storage management, and quickly
produce evidence for compliance purposes.
The MessageStats Report Pack for Archive Manager expands the core capabilities
of MessageStats to include relevant statistics for managing the Exchange environment for email archiving and analyzing additional content
information from the Archive Manager database. The report pack provides specific reports for
Quest Archive Manager that are integrated into the core MessageStats console and
reports interface.

Known Issue |
| Reports | |
| Running real-time reports against more than three Archive Manager Servers at one time may cause performance issues, depending on your network speed and topology. Choose only one or two servers at a time to include in the report . | |
The following reports require that a MessageStats
Exchange
Information Stores gathering and an Exchange Mailboxes gathering be run to show relevant data
in certain fields:
| |
| Database |
If the Report Pack for Archive Manager database is installed on a 64-bit
SQL 2005 Server and the Archive Manager database is installed on a
32-bit SQL 2000 server, you may see an error that the OLE database
provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server <servername> returned the message
"Unspecified error". This problem occurs because the system stored
procedures were not upgraded. You must manually upgrade the system
stored procedures after you install SQL Server 2000 SP3 or SQL Server
2000 SP4.
To resolve this issue, see the following Microsoft Knowledgebase article: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/906954 |
| The MessageStats Report Pack for Archive Manager leverages linked servers in SQL for real-time reports. To ensure optimum performance for the real-time reports, the MessageStats (and Archive Manager Report Pack) database must be running SQL Server 2005. | |
| If you previously installed the Beta release of the Report Pack for Archive Manager, when you install this release, any data that you have in the database is deleted. The installation deletes all tables, stored procedures, functions and views related to the report pack and installs a fresh copy of the product. You must also recreate any Archive Manager gathering tasks that you created using the Beta release. |

| Platform | Pentium 4, running at a minimum speed of 2.4 GHz |
