Ravi, Thanks for your reply. I have been considering that option as well, but was not sure if the mailbox setting (0 or 1) would override the global system setting (60).
It sounds like if I set the mail box setting to 0 or 1, this will override the system global setting of 60 for this mailbox only? If so, this sounds pretty straight forward and an easier solution. It looks like this can also done in the EMC GUI to accomplish the same goal?: EMC - MAILBOX - MAILBOX SETTINGS - STORAGE QUOTAS - DELETED ITEMS RETENTION - KEEP DELETED ITEMS FOR DAYS) - change this to (1). If all that sounds correct, then I only have one more question regarding the DELETED ITEMS folder for the mailbox. (I believe this is different than the RECOVERABLE ITEMS settings, but not sure.) Most of our user mailboxes are created "automatically" when user accounts are set up using scheduled PS batch process scripts and default retention tags policy is applied ( and this includes a 30 day limit for DELETED ITEMS). For this mailbox, I can get around this by just using the EMC, create the mailbox, and not apply any retention policy. I have already tested and found, with no retention policy in place, DELETED ITEMS remain indefinitely and I can access for several months back even though RECOVER DELETED ITEMS in the client goes back only 60 days. So the question I am trying to sort out is, if I create the mailbox as noted above with all the settings noted, with no retention tag policy assigned to the mailbox, will this also apply to the mailbox DELETED ITEMS folder, or will I need to create a specific retention tag policy for DELETED ITEMS to apply just to this mailbox to make sure it is not retaining DELETED ITEMS for more than a day or so? Doing my best to explain our environment but hoping for list response.

Set the deleted items retention period for 24 or 48 hours Set-Mailbox -Identity <MailboxName> -RetainDeletedItemsFor 2 Set the recoverable deleted items quota to 0GB Set-Mailbox -Identity <MailboxName> -UseDatabaseQuotaDefaults $false -RecoverableItemsWarningQuota 0GB -RecoverableItemsQuota 0GB So after the retention period there will be no item which can be moved to recoverable deleted items folder as its quota is 0GB it cannot hold any data. Let me know if that is what exactly you were looking for Thank you, Ravi On Sat, Mar 30, 2013 at 3:35 AM, xyz <x...@minneapolis.edu<mailto:x...@minneapolis.edu>> wrote: Tanya and Steven, Thanks for your responses. Sorry for delay, but I have reviewed and researched. Tanya, thank you so much for the noting the second option - create new database for this mailbox. What you noted makes perfect sense. Yes there are extra steps, but I can handle and will have the least impact on our other databases. In case you are interested: Current plan is to add a small (10 GIG which can easily be expanded ) SAN drive to each DAG member, create a database just for this project, and apply all settings direct to the database. Thanks again and open to any comments.

Another option is to create a 1GB database and include it in the DAG. Since the "Keep deleted items for (days)" setting is set on a per database level, you can set this new 1GB database for 1 day. That way, it's different from the current 60 day setting you have for your other databases. Once you move the mailbox to this new 1GB database, it will inherit the database settings. I prefer the first option as there are less steps involved. ________________________________ From: x...@minneapolis.edu<mailto:x...@minneapolis.edu> To: exchangelist@lyris.sunbelt-software.com<mailto:exchangelist@lyris.sunbelt-software.com> Subject: Mailbox - Deleted Items and Recoverable Items - remove all retention from specific mailboxes Date: Thu, 21 Mar 2013 00:58:31 +0000 Greetings, Just tossing this out for review. Exchange 2010 SP2 UR3 Standard two node DAG Standard 10 MEG email attachment limit Project: Implement XEROX Webprint so remote or wireless students can submit print jobs to a specific campus mailbox which they can then print at any campus XEROX printer. ( We know how to make this XEROX process work to get the final printing outcome). My concern is EXCHANGE storage space on our servers, as we are a bit tight and no data on how much will be taken with this project with all the attachments. FYI - Vendor indicates that we need to use POP3, but that IMAP may be an option. Vendor also indicates that with POP3 and their product, all messages will be REMOVED from our EXCHANGE server as soon as forwarded to the XEROX web print server. I questioned vendor if it is really removed, or simply moved to Deleted Items and then to Recoverable Items folder ( formerly Dumpster) but vendor is not certain. I suspect I could put a specific retention tag on the mailboxes in question so Deleted Items are removed after 24 hours, but not sure if this can be done with individual mailbox on the Recoverable Items folder, as our global setting is 60 days. Otherwise, storage space could be taken up in Recoverable Items folder for 60 days. In Summary, my goal is to make sure anything sent to the XEROX print mailboxes is deleted after 24-48 hours and not taking space on our Exchange DAG. There is no requirement to preserve this print data, nor do we want to. Hoping for any input or questions if I was not clear in the above.
