When you create new mailboxes with the GUI, you have the option of specifying the RP during the creation process. The same is true if you are using New-Mailbox or Enable-Mailbox.
It is possible to sorta trick-out default values for these things, but the process is poorly documented and, in general, I don't recommend it. Regards, Michael B. Smith Consultant and Exchange MVP http://TheEssentialExchange.com From: Paul Hutchings [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Sunday, June 12, 2011 9:19 AM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: Assigning Retention Policy by default? On Exchange 2003 I have a mailbox management policy that deletes items from the Deleted Items folder that are older than 30 days. On 2010 it looks like I have to create a Recipient Policy Tag, assign that to a Rceipient Policy, and assign that policy to mailboxes or a database. The only issue is that this appears to only affect mailboxes at the time of running the command, so if I apply it to all users on DB1 today, it won't be applied to a user created tomorrow on DB1. How do you best deal with this please? The only way I can think of is a scheduled task, but surely there has to be a simpler way as this seems a pretty obvious and fundamental thing to want to do?
