Clear Retention Policy Tags from mailbox items

Hello Experts
I searched for this but didn't find clear answer so I decided to re word
running - exchange 2010 sp3 RU4
background - we had email retention policy applied to all mailboxes in the environment during 2010 migration project w/ retention hold enabled except for pilot batch users
there will be changes coming soon from the business regarding amending existing policy tags
currently testing this scenario
user A - policy enabled for 1 yr but on hold.. 50% items are expired
If policy gets removed from user A mailbox
question 1
how to clean existing tags from individual items in the mailbox? Can it be done or items are left like this forever
if yes, how long will it take to clear up automatically.. once you remove the retention policy from a mailbox, my guess is running MFA on demand will not do anything
question 2
Ex -if initial retention tag for inbox folder was 90 days and now changed to 270 days, during mfa re evaluation, will the "start date" be still calculated from first time message was stapmed
or when it was re evaluated again
Thanks in advance

Question 2 is described here:
How Retention Age is Calculated
The MFA works against messages according to their tags/policy. If there are no policies applied to a user, the MFA will not process items for that user.
"The Managed Folder Assistant, a mailbox assistant that runs on Mailbox servers, processes mailboxes that have a retention
policy applied"

E2K7 MRM Migration to E2K13 Retention Policy Tag

Hello - We have E2K7 Managed Folders, we are migrating to E2K13 and will not have "Archive Mbx's". I've migrated most of my managed folders to E2K13, but ran into a couple issues:
Issue 1: To match E2K7, created RetentionTags like "Inbox-40 days","Calendar-530 days", etc. Also created "Default-2years". Added these tags to a RetentionPolicy, expected the "specific" tags to target
Inbox, Calendar, etc and then "Default-2years" to get all there folders (unless sub-folder of Inbox, for example, sub-folder would get 40 days". Didn't work out that way, Default is the only tag applied, so everything is 2 years.
I've read articles, could use some further explanation.
Issue 2: 1 Managed Folder policy would not migrate ... Deleted Items. We have Managed Folder policy set so that whenever items are moved to Deleted Items, they stay for 30 days, then are deleted. Users can move them out, but they get moved
back in by other policies, are restamped and get 30 days. I can't find a way to do this in E2K13. Possible?
Thanks for any help you can provide.

Hi,
For the first question, please following the following article to migrate from managed folders to check result.
Migrate from managed folders
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd298032(v=exchg.150).aspx
And for the retention tag "Default-2years", is this tag based on managed folder?
If not, please migrate from managed folder first. After that you can create retention tag you want to apply to mailbox.
For the second question, if you want to deleted items older than 30 days in the Deleted Items folder, you can create retention policy tag to apply to the Deleted Items folder to remove old messages.

Applying retention Policy tags to inbox in Exchange Server 2010

I configured a Journal inbox in Exchange server 2010. I would like to configure a retention policy of 30 days so after a month all emails will be deleted from the Inbox of the Journal account. I configured the retention policy but messages
would never get deleted.

Hi,
Based on the description, you created a retention policy tag, the type was Inbox, added this tag to a retention policy and then applied this policy to the journal mailbox. However, this retention policy didn't work.
For this issue, first, I recommend you check if this tag is disabled. Besides, please check the application log to see if the Managed Folder Assistant has processed this journal mailbox. You can force the Managed Folder Assistant to apply the policy manually
by running the Start-ManagedFolderAssistant command.
If you have checked the above, I suggest you change the Action that retention policy tag performs to check the result.
Best regards,
Belinda

Exchange Retention Policy Tag for Voicemails - worked for UM but not for new Cisco Unity - Any ideas?

Hi All,
We're in the process of moving from Unified Messaging to Cisco Unity. In the past, I had successfully applied the following Retention Policy Tag which worked with UM:
New-RetentionPolicyTag "Voice Mail 60 Day Retention" -Type All -MessageClass voicemail -Comment "Untagged messages removed after 60 days." -RetentionEnabled $true -AgeLimitForRetention 60 -RetentionAction DeleteAndAllowRecovery
Now, with Cisco Unity, I see that the voicemails show "Expires: Never."
The Cisco voicemails differ from UM in that instead of being *.mp3 files, they are *.wav.
I cannot figure out a way to create a Retention Policy tag that deletes a specific file type. Any ideas?
Thank you,
MrMister

Those don't exist. The tags work on message class. The Cisco VMs are not the same forms as the Exchange UMs essentially.

How do I remove the acronym tags from menu items in Business Catalyst?

Hello, can anybody answer this for me please? Not having any success googling or foruming it so far.
How do I remove the acronym tags from menu items in Business Catalyst?
Thanks in advance
Grant

These are titles and in the dynamic menu will be the item description per item.
These are actually important though and you do not really want to remove them but make them better and reword them other then the same as the link test. These are good for the user experience as well as SEO. A bot knowing a description of a link and where it is going coupled with the URL's and the title of an anchor are all important aspects of your sites SEO.

How To Hide Retention Policy Tag View From OWA.

Aslam

Hi,
I have exactly the opposite problem. In OWA 2013 (SP1) the assigned retention policy and the expiration date is not shown. We are in coexistance with Exchange 2010. OWA 2010, Outlook 2010/2013 are showing the assigned retention policy and the expiration
date as shown in the first messsage of this thread. Setting "MustDisplayCommentEnabled" to true does not help. Any ideas how the information can be activated?

Retention Policy Tag on Outlook 2010/Exchange 2010 SP3

While I still wanted to have the Retention Policies and Tags applied to mailboxes, would I just be able to "HIDE" or "SUPPRESS" the Tip that the Outlook 2010 client shows on the read-pane like...
Retention Policy: xx Days Retention Inbox (xx days) Expires x/x/xxxx ??
Please suggest
Please mark as helpful if you find my contribution useful or as an answer if it does answer your question. Regards, Siva

Hi,
When a retention policy is applied to an item in user's mailbox, the retention policy for a message appears in the header in the Reading Pane under the recipient names and includes the expiration date. If no retention policy is applied, no information appears
under the message recipient names.
Based on my knowledge, I'm afraid there is no way to hide it in the Reading Pane.

Retention Policy is not auto archiving email

Hi, I created a new Retention Policy and attached 2 Retention Tags.
I have a mailbox that is 18 GB and i need for all items\folders to be transferred to the same folder structure in the archive.
The archive is presently empty, i only see a deleted items folder and the retention policy is not moving emails automatically.
The Retention Tags attached to the policy are:
Tag Type: Personal Tag, Age Limit for Retention 365 days, Move to Archive
and
Tag Type: All other folders in the mailbox, Age Limit for Retention 365 days, Move to Archive
I also tried running the start Start-ManagedFolderAssistant cmdlet.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,

Hi,
For the personal tag you created as follows, and users need to apply this tag to items from Outlook side.
Personal Tag, Age Limit for Retention 365 days, Move to Archive
For the "All other folders in the mailbox", if you choose the option of All other folders in the mailbox, then this would be a DPT. The DPT is applied to any folder that doesn't have a Retention Tag associated with it.
The action "Move to Archive" moves a message to the user's archive mailbox. If the mailbox user doesn't have an archive mailbox, no action is taken. So please make sure you have enabled archive on this user mailbox.
Once a retention policy is applied to a user mailbox, then the retention policy tag for an item will appear in the header in the Reading Pane. Please check whether you can see the retention policy description when you open a message in Outlook.
Best regards,
Belinda

Retention policy not removing items after 14 days?

Hello and good day all.
I hope some one can help with this. I have an Exchange 2013 server and i need to set a Retention policy to delete items from select mailboxes after 14 days. These boxes get automated log emails that are only needed if a problem is reported that day. Otherwise
they are trash. no users check these boxes and so they tend to fill up.
The following was all done in the web interface.
In "Retention tags" screen I have a policy called "14Days" and it is set "Delete and allow Recovery" then period is "In Days" 14
This is then in the "Retention Policy" Screen added to a policy called "2Weeks"
I then added this in "Mailbox Features" screen to the select boxes.
All this done 26 days ago. I figured i need to wait the 14 days for the cycle to come around. However these boxes still have items from September in them. I used a command line to verify the policy is on the mail boxes.
Some items are in the in-boxes and some are in deleted items.

Hello and good morning. The mystery continues.
in event log is have items 9017 saying the work cycle started and there are 14 boxes on this data base. Then i have an event 9018 saying 14 were processed.
Does it matter that I have 4 Mailbox databases? the ones to have this policy are all in a single data base.
There are no other policy's created or defined other then the ones that came with exchange that we don't use.
I created a new policy with a 15 day retention and applied it to a box.
Next i cleared the entire event log and then ran "Start-ManagedFolderAssistant" to force it on
the mailbox.
so then just to check i ran "Get-RetentionPolicyTag
-Identity "15 day retention " | fl"
And it looks okay.

Apply Retention Policy to All New Mailboxes

I have created a retention policy tag to “Delete and Allow Recovery” after 14 days of all items in the “Deleted Items” folder.
I then created a Retention Policy to apply the tag. I see using the EMS I can run a command “Get-Mailbox | Set-Mailbox –RetentionPolicy “Empty Trash” to apply to all existing mailboxes but how do I apply this to all new mailboxes as
well?
I see a posting at
http://www.proexchange.be/blogs/exchange2010/archive/2011/08/31/using-the-scripting-agent-to-automate-some-basic-housekeeping-tasks.aspx
that describes using the Scripting Agent to automate this processes but it seems overkill for my simple requirement. If I go this route does this need to be applied to each Exchange Server? Is this the only way or is there a simpler way to apply a recipient
policy to all existing and future mailboxes?

Exchange 2010 SP3 - retention policy fails to expire any messages that existed in Deleted Items prior to implementing retention policy

I created retention policies that are working as expected for Inbox, Sent and Drafts folders. However, I created a similar policy for Deleted Items: (New-RetentionPolicyTag “test-DeletedItems-Retention” –Type DeletedItems –Comment “Items older than
90 days are deleted” –RetentionEnabled $true –AgeLimitForRetention 90 –RetentionAction PermanentlyDelete). The messages that existed in the Deleted Items folder prior to implementing the policy do not appear to have any retention policy applied to them, so
it appears that they will retain in Deleted Items indefinitely.
Please advise.
Sincerely
Derek Bain

Will,
Please see the results below. The output is similar for the 3 other tags that I created for Inbox, Sent, and Drafts.

Derek

Retention Policy - Archive All folders to archive-maibox (including inbox and send items)

Hello,
with exchange 2010 we have a retention policy to archive all mail older than 2 years to the archive-maiblox using the retention policy.
The policy is having the setting "all other folders", so this isn`t working for the folder "inbox" "send items" etc.
What can i change to have ALL folders moved to the archive-mailbox?
Thx

Hi,
Did you means that you select "All other folders in the mailbox" as a tag type? Is right?
If so, it will not work for the default folders (such as Inbox and Send Items..).
Please refer to the following thread:
Exchange 2010: Retention Policy Tag
Type- All other folders in the mailbox
Thanks.

Retention Policy between Mailbox and Archive Mailbox level

Dear All
I have some questions about the Retention Policy between Mailbox and Archive Mailbox.
I want to apply different retention tag on different Mailbox level.
In normal case , I would like apply the Retention Policy for Mailbox after 28 days moving to archive Mailbox and over 365 days to be deleted.
And the Archive Mailbox should be liked deleted the mail over 90 or 180 days.
But I found that the archive Mailbox is applied the same Retention Policy as the Mailbox one.
Is it Normal case ? How can I set another retention Policy for My archive Mailbox ?
Best Regards
Vincent Chi

You cannot have a different retention policy for primary and archive mailbox. The policy applied to the primary mailbox also applies
to the archive mailbox.

Exchange 2010 - Archiving Policy tag (how to create dont move message)

Hi guys!
We have started to use functionality Archiving corporate Mailboxes.
We have deleted all the default retention policies/tags and created 1 default which Will move all the messages which are older then 60 days.
Soo default archive and retenetion policies are gone after deleting them.
Now the idea is to create 1 more retention policy tag, that user would manually chose what they do not wish to be moved to archive mailboxes and stay and instead of that those messages must stay in the mailbox.
Well we got stucked at how to create that kind of policy tag:
any hints would be more then appreticiated.
with best regards,
Bostjan

Hi,
Agree with Ed. We can't tag an item to stop it from being moved to archive.
Here is an article which can help you to understand the retention policy and retention tag for your reference.

Exchange 2013 CU3 Retention Policy Not working for Calendar & Tasks

We are currently on Exchange 2013 CU3 with Online Archiving Enabled for the user
Default policy is set to move all the items in mailbox which are older than 30 days to online archive mailbox.
Calendar and Tasks Items are also getting archived alongwith other Outlook items from Inbox,Deleted Items etc
Followed Technet website and created RPT for Calendar and Tasks with retention disabled
Still DPT takes precedence and move all the items under Calendar and Task to Online Archive Mailbox

Hi Sam,
I recommend you refer to the following article, despite this for Exchange 2010, however the same applies to exhcnage 2013:
Prevent archiving of items in a default folder in Exchange 2010
To prevent the <acronym title="Default Policy Tag">DPT</acronym> from being applied to a default folder, you can create a disabled <acronym title="Retention Policy Tag">RPT</acronym> for that folder (or disable
any existing RPT for that folder). The Managed Folder Assistant, a mailbox assistant that processes mailbox items and applies retention policies, does not apply the
retention action of a disabled tag. Since the item/folder still has a tag, it's not considered untagged and the DPT isn't applied to it.
Why are items in the Notes folder still archived?
If you create a disabled <acronym title="Retention Policy Tag">RPT</acronym> for the
Notes folder, you'll see items in that folder are not deleted, but they do continue to be moved to the archive! Why does this happen? How do you prevent it?
It's important to understand that:
A retention policy can have a <acronym title="Default Policy Tag">DPT</acronym> to
archive items (using the Move to Archive retention action) and a DPT to
delete items (using the Delete and Allow Recovery or
Permanently Delete retention actions). Both apply to untagged items.
The move and delete actions are exclusive of each other. Mailbox folders and messages can have both types of tags applied - an archive tag and a delete tag. It's not an either/or proposition.
If you create a disabled RPT for the Notes folder to not delete items, the archive DPT for the mailbox would still apply and move items.
When it comes to archiving, there's only one archive policy that administrators can enforce – the <acronym title="Default Policy Tag">DPT</acronym> with 'Move to archive' action.
You can't create a <acronym title="Retention Policy Tag">RPT</acronym> with the 'Move to archive' action. This rules out using the disabled RPT approach to prevent items from being moved.
