Exchange 2010 archive mailbox setup

Thanks for your fast reply , but this script is very hard for me to be implemented , so i have to find another way. Maybe archiving mailboxes with retention days starting from 90 days and lowering , until i get the proper size for Primary mailboxes. Sure, that is a fine approach. How do you go about archiving inbox items based on age?

The archiving built into Enterprise allow for move of email from mailbox to archive mailbox based on age. Paul, I have come across many topics involving Exchange, Mailboxes, and archiving that all include your signature. TCP Port Sharing service to Automatic start which then the admin needs to start , this does not resolve the issue. What is the best way to handle the archiving process for terminated users mailboxes? The plan: Archive the mailboxes of terminated users, immediately delete their account, have a retention period of 30 days.

The questions, will mailbox remain the archive db, even if the account is deleted, and I presume the emails get deleted the retention period is met.

Am I on the right track? Hi, i have configure auto-archive for my outlook user, after auto-archive completed a separate file is created but existing OST file has still the same size, it removes email from exchange server but not from OST file. This is by design. OST files do not automatiically shrink when you remove or delete items from them. Your emails are removed from the OST file; the space is just marked as free. This does NO harm to the users mailbox as everything is already on Exchange anyway.

Can PowerShell be used to set the retention on notes? What would such a PowerShell script look like? Thank you very much for this detailed article, Paul. Hello Paul, Do you know if you can use personal archiving and litigation hold at the same time? Can both be active? How do you restore an archive mailbox.

The archive is in another db. Do I have to restore the both the original mailbox and then the entire db that the archive is in? Only the DB that held the archive mailbox would need to be restored as far as I know.

Hey Paul, Great article and thanks for sharing! Trying to find information on best practice post configuration settings on the cached Outlook client after the archiving retention policy is enabled? For example, it is recommended to delete the OST file and recreate after archiving is enabled?

Thanks in advance, Rod. Hi Paul, I am in the middle of migration from ex10 to ex There are some mailboxes which are archive-enabled in ex So the problem is, that, when I try to migrate that mailboxes from ex10 to ex13, it get queued, and nothing more.

I guess, that it is because my databases are on different machines. I haven t found any information how to do such kind of task.

Could you help me? We got everyhting up and running now.. We have Archiving enabled on a user, with the proper retention policies applied, archive quotas are set to unlimited. We can see emails moving from their mailbox to thier personal archive according to policy as things should.. Things are disappears out it. Indded, individual messages in that folder also show a Retention Policy and an Expires warning on them I tought this should never happen?

This is the Personal Archive folder, not the actual user mailbox. Any ideas? You can install more than one DAG in an org. You can also just put the archive DBs in the same DAG and just have fewer copies or whatever fits your needs.

Not even Symantec is able to comment on this comparison. Outlook Protection Rules Transport Decryption Enhanced Transport Conditions Moderation Mailbox quotas control volume but also encourage PSTs Amendments cover all e-mail from all sources, including PSTs PSTs cannot be easily discovered Lost laptop results in exposure of PSTs Cannot get to PSTs when needed PST corruptions increase on network share Inability to search and access archived content Separate search and management of primary and archive mailboxes One report is created per message Move items in primary mailbox automatically into Personal Archive to manage quota Access archive through Outlook or Outlook Web Access Exchange Forums TechNet Exchange Website All rights reserved.

We recently starting using the app, only to notice that the online archive only appear in the OWA but not the new Microsoft App.

Test in both platforms iOS and Android. Pro Plus is only available through volume licencing, so for very small businesses people , this is next to impossible to implement. A lot has changed since this article was written. Pro Plus, and archiving features in general, are easily within reach of businesses of any size thanks to Office But for few users this policy is not working and auto archiving not happening.

Let me know is there any logs that will help to analyse and resolve issue. We created a archived database for a user but now we need to go back to what his mailbox was before we created the archive.

Can you tell me the process please?
