Symantec Enterprise Vault is designed to run in the background and should normally be configured to archive user mailboxes on a network during off-hours. A network administrator can disable Enterprise Vault tasks from the server whenever it's needed, like during network maintenance. If you need to use your computer when archiving is scheduled and don't want it to slow you down, you may be able to suspend archiving from Outlook. This will only affect archiving of your own mailboxes and is only available if it has been set up by your network administrator.
