Something to keep in mind is if you are using an online archive, the default policy tag also applies it self there, or at least in Exchange 2010 it did. So if you set a default policy tag to delete any item after 10 years it will also delete the items within the online archive as the managed folder assistant is going to tag those with a tombstone date, and when that date is met it will take its action (which is the action set on the tag). Its a pretty simple process: 1. Create a default policy tag 2. Create a retention policy for the default policy tag you made 3. Apply the retention policy to a test mailbox (I use mine typically, or a copy of my mailbox) and then force run the Managed Folder Assistant 4. If that goes well and the business approves, apply it to all.. then wait for the "oh gosh my email disappeared" calls to come in from the users :) The managed folder assistant basically takes care of the retention policy stuff on the backend. Its a throttled service, so if you want it to run right away against a particular mailbox you can use the command Start-ManagedFolderAssistant [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> (for example). To apply the retention policy across all mailboxes org-wide: Get-Mailbox -ResultSize Unlimited | Set-Mailbox -RetentionPolicy "name of retention policy you created" You can then verify by doing.. Get-Mailbox -ResultSize Unlimited | Select DisplayName, RetentionPolicy | Export-CSV C:\RetentionPolicyVerification.csv You "technically" do not need to start the managed folder assistant on the mailbox, as it will scan it eventually.. but you can force it to run if you want: Get-Mailbox -ResultSize Unlimited | Start-ManagedFolderAssistant ... just make sure to test first. I have been on calls when I was a field engineer where a person did this (create a default policy tag, apply it to all execs as they asked.. but they asked for a default retention of 7 years not days) and it turned into a disaster to recover from. ________________________________ From: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> To: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Subject: RE: [Exchange] implementing Retention policy on Exchange 2013CU6 Date: Thu, 4 Dec 2014 16:53:51 -0800 Short answer: yes Longer answer: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd297955%28v=exchg.150%29.aspx ________________________________ From: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> To: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Subject: [Exchange] implementing Retention policy on Exchange 2013CU6 Date: Fri, 5 Dec 2014 00:47:07 +0000 Hi All, I am tasked to implement a retention policy for all mail items of X year company wide. I was looking into the default policy on the server, and I was wondering if the default policy is enough for both default folders and user defined folders? Any feedback in general based on your experience with the retention policies appreciated.
