Running an Exchange Mailbox Content Indexing Job On-demand

Typically, content indexing jobs are run according to the schedule defined in the server plan. This procedure describes the general steps for running a content indexing job on-demand.

You can run the job at the backup set, subclient, or mailbox level. This procedure describes running an content indexing job from the subclient and mailbox levels.

Before You Begin

  • Each access node that is used to run content indexing jobs must have the Exchange Mailbox application, and the Web Server package installed. If you did not install the Web Server package when you installed the application, you can install it separately.

  • You must install the Content Analyzer package and configure the Content Analyzer cloud for each content indexing access node (proxy client)

  • You must create the Exchange User mailbox plan or the Exchange Journal mailbox plan with the appropriate entity types selected from the entities list. You must enable the entity detection feature in either the Exchange user mailbox plan or the Exchange journal mailbox plan (whichever one applies to your mailbox environment).

    Note

    On-demand previews of messages are available whether or not content indexing is configured.
