Symantec Enterprise Vault

The following is a modified PowerShell script from Symantec to recall all the files from Vault if the file placeholder exist in the file server

## script attempt - comprehensive FSA script to analyze target locations and evaluate file within it
##
## First we check the registry to see if the bypassrecallimitsforadmins key (8.0) or bypassrecalllimitsforadmins (7.5 something where it was spelt right)
## We also check recalllimitmaxrecalls and recalllimittimeinterval to see if they are set to 99 and 1 respectively to give the best chance to recall all files if needed
## Note: while they may not choose to copy we will still get these values for later processing in case they do
##
## We will prompt for 2 locations: 1) the location of the fatr.exe executable & batch.cmd, and 2) the desired target path
## We will prompt for a decision if the user wants the placeholders that are verified as proper placeholders would also like them recalled (by copy to nul process)
## If they choose the copy option, we will report on the registry settings and recommend changes (and do them if they choose).
## Using these paths we will do the following
## 1) get a directory output of the target path and save that to a file named dirout.txt
## 2) using the dirout.txt file we will process each file in that list in the following manner
## 3) we will run fsutil (windows application) to confirm if the file has reparsepoint (placeholder) information, and if so, if the GUID matches the EV one (because of some issues found on 64 bit, this string has had the spaces removed to ensure matches on 64 and non-64 bit systems)
## *4) we will test the file as well with the fatr.exe application (in report mode) which will detail to us if the offline file bit is set or not
## 5) if the above tests result in finding a file which has the offline bit set, and NO reparse information, we will set the offline bit OFF (this will resolve the 'element not found errors' on archive attempts)
## 6) if the above tests result in finding a file which has the offline bit set, and EV reparse information, we will leave the file alone if copy choice is 'n' or copy the item to nul if 'y'
## 7) if the above tests result in finding a file which has the offline bit set, and reparse information (but not EV info), we will leave the file alone
## 8) if the above tests result in finding a file which has the offline bit unset, and NO reparse information, we will leave the file alone
## 9) if the above tests result in finding a file which has the offline bit unset, and EV reparse information, we will set the offline bit (this situation should not be found)
## 10) if the above tests result in finding a file which has the offline bit unset, and reparse information (but not EV info), we will leave the file alone
## 11) if the above tests result in finding not covered by the above we will report the results found and do nothing

Hi Laurence,

Thanks for sharing the script, so what is "fatr.exe executable" ?

where can I find that file from ?
