Ah, yes, Ex2KSP3 on W2KSP3. Did all that, set the policies under Recipient Policies, set the options on the Mailbox Management tab of the server, then started Mailbox Manager. Being unfamiliar with what was supposed to happen when I started Mailbox Manager, I 'accidentally' started it multiple times. Now, once a week at the designated time, all those instances run, one after the other. I simply cannot find where to stop/delete the extra instances of the manager. It's not critical because they don't do anything, because the first instance finds the messages which meet the criteria and deals with them. It's just sloppy and I'm intrigued because I can't find where those other instances are scheduled.

If so, perhaps this will help you out. If not, let me know and I'll take a closer look. Essentially, you need to look under Recipient Policies and on the Mailbox Management tab of the server object. See below: "The Exchange Server Mailbox Manager utility was a separate component installed separately on servers running Exchange Server 5.5 Service Pack 3 and later. Mailbox Manager could be installed on a server within a site and configured to manage mailboxes on servers anywhere within the site. In Exchange 2000 Service Pack 1, Mailbox Manager is installed automatically on all servers but is only for managing local mailboxes on the same server. There are now two places in System Manager that administrators must use to set up a mailbox recipient policy. The first place, under Recipient Policies, is used to filter membership and configure Mailbox Manager parameters. The second place is the Mailbox Management tab, accessed through the server object, where a mailbox management schedule is created. Mailbox Manager will not run until it is scheduled." > I'm still trying to track down how to delete some accidental multiple > instances of Mailbox Manager.
