Part 4: How to create an Exchange 2007 journaling rule

1. Open the Exchange Management Console and navigate through the console tree to Organization Configuration -> Hub Transport.

2. Select the Journaling tab, and then click the New Journal Rule link found in the Actions pane to open the New Journal Rule wizard.

3. Enter a descriptive name for the Exchange 2007 journaling rule that you are creating.

4. Just beneath the Rule Name field is the Send Journal Reports to E-Mail Addresses field. This is where you supply the name of the mailbox where you want journaled messages to be deposited.

5. The third configuration option on this screen is the scope. Select internal, external, or all messages as you wish. (See Part 1 of this tutorial for scope descriptions.)

6. The next option that you must configure is the Journal Messages for Recipient option. This is where you specify the mailbox or group for which you want to enable journaling. For example, if you wanted to create a journaling rule to journal messages sent by John Doe, this is where you would enter John Doe's mailbox name.

7. Finally, the wizard contains a checkbox that you can use to enable the rule upon creation. This is checked by default, unless you choose to deselect it prior to creating the journaling rule.

8. After filling in the wizard's various parameters, click the New button and the Exchange 2007 journaling rule will be created.
