Hired to Build, install, and configure Symantec Enterprise Vault V8 for Exchange. Although I am not an exchange admin, I built a VMware 2003R2 Server and constructed the Vault from scratch. This involved taking control of the task at hand and installing, while getting to work properly, the numerous pre-requisites involved for the Vault. SQL, Powershell Scripting, MSMQ, IIS , among others. This job required intensive research. I then had to manually migrate all users from Enterprise Vault V7 to V8.
