Finding mailboxes with no retention policy applied and apply a policy?

We manually apply retention policies at the time accounts are created.  However, some get missed and therefore, I assume that means they have no retention policy at all.  So, there is no true "default" policy that is automatically applied
when you do not manually choose one?
How can we find the ones that were missed and apply a retention policy to those?

Hi
This will return all the mailboxes without any policy set:
Get-Mailbox -Filter 'retentionpolicy -eq $null'
So you could do this:
Get-Mailbox -Filter 'retentionpolicy -eq $null' | Set-Mailbox -RetentionPolicy <name of your policy>

  • One shared mailbox with multiple distribution groups connected and the sent items folder - how to configure?

    Hi!
    I have been struggling for a while now with the following issue.
    For starters:
    We are using exchange 2010 in combination with outlook 2013 on client computers.
    Cause of the limitations concerning the number of mailboxes in outlook im looking for a solution to receive and reply 
    to multiple aliasses. So i did the following:
    1. Configured one shared mailbox.
    2. Configured multiple distribution groups
    3.  made the shared mailbox a member of the distribution groups
    4. Configured full access and send as permissions for myself on the shared mailbox ( testing )
    5. Gave send as permissions to the shared mailbox in Active directory. 
    6.  Logged in to OWA to setup rules for the shared mailbox.
    I now receive emails from all connected distribution groups in the shared mailbox and also in the right folder.
    I do however have to select the proper from address when i reply to an email. 
    the email sent by the main SMTP of the shared mailbox is placed into the sent folder of the shared mailbox. 
    I setup the senddelagate blabla in register.....
    When i sent an email as one of the connected distribution groups it fails to put the sent item in the sent items folder of the shared mailbox. The email is sent using the proper address but placed in the sent folder of my main account. 
    I want this emails to end up in the sent items folder of the shared mailbox. Or even better, in a sent items folder for each of the addresses. 
    Any suggestions ? 
    Thanks in advance!

    Hi,
    As what
    Rajkumar says, sending as a shared mailbox(full access permission) will put the email in the sent item of shared mailbox. But it cannot be located in the “sent item” of a distribution group. Because
    it is a distribution group instead of a enabled user mailbox.
    According to your further description, I understand that the reason why you configure that is some users reached the
    limitation about the number of Exchange accounts you can include in the same Outlook profile. Is it rights? If I misunderstand, please point it out.
    By default, user can only add 10 Exchange accounts to the same profile. You can customize the limit to the number Exchange accounts in the same profile using the following registry data:
    Key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\software\policies\Microsoft\exchange
    DWORD: MaxNumExchange
    Value: integer value starting at 1 (default = 10 if DWORD is missing)

    Hope it helps.

  • Finder crashes with "open as" on audio and video files

    My system was restored by Time Machine some time ago.
    Since than my Finder crashes whenever i use the "open as" menu on movie or audio files.
    I do a ctrl-click and choose "open as" nothing happens like a freeze and than the Finder crashes and starts new. Sometimes the Finder doesn't even appear again, so that i have to use the power button of my MBP to switch it off.
    Other file types like jpg, pdf, ... work just fine.
    I'm using a MBP, Intel Core Duo 2Ghz with 2 Gb Ram under 10.6.4.
    I repaired permissions and even rebuild the launch services but it didn't help.

    Hello s:
    The only thing I can think of to try is to trash a preference file (com.apple.finder.plist) and restart.
    If that does not help, I would reinstall OS X 10.6 (over your existing system and then run software update.

  • Messaging Records Management: loss of functionality between Managed Folders and Retention Policy

    In Exchange 2007 and 2010 you can use Managed Folders with Managed Content Settings to act on messages based on when they were moved into the folder. E.g.,
    New-ManagedContentSettings -Name DeleteJunk -FolderName ManagedJunk -MessageClass * -RetentionEnabled $true -RetentionAction DeleteAndAllowRecovery -AgeLimitForRetention 30 -TriggerForRetention WhenMoved
    will delete items 30 days after they're moved into the Junk E-Mail folder designated by the Folder Name "Managed Junk".
    However, Exchange 2010 introduces Retention Policies as an alternative to Managed Folders, and Exchange 2013 drops Managed Folders entirely. With a Retention Policy, it's impossible to specify a TriggerForRetention. See http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd335226%28v=exchg.141%29.aspx
    and note that New-RetentionPolicyTag lacks -TriggerForRetention as a parameter. If you Get-RetentionPolicyTag | fl you can still see a TriggerForRetention value, but it's "WhenDelivered" and can't be changed.
    Both http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb430780%28v=exchg.141%29.aspx (Exchange 2010) and http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb430780%28v=exchg.150%29.aspx (Exchange 2013) describe a rather convoluted method used to determine the age of
    a message for retention purposes, but I don't know whether to believe those pages. It seems apparent, though, that basing a message's age on WhenDelivered can easily produce undesired results.
    Consider a Retention Policy Tag placed on the Junk E-Mail folder which will perform DeleteAndAllowRecovery on items older than 30 days. A message arrives on 01/01/15 and is classified as Junk. It immediately starts aging based on the date 01/01/15. The user
    find the message, which was misclassified, and moves it to another folder. Since there's no way to set a TriggerForRetention based on WhenMoved, the message continues to age from 01/01/15. 90 days later, while the user is reviewing their mail, the user accidentally
    clicks the Junk button on the message. Because the message is more than 30 days old, it's deleted immediately.
    1) Am I correct? Or is there a way to use Retention Policies so that messages are acted on based on how long they've resided in their current folder?
    2) What do I have to do to get Microsoft to add the ability to change the TriggerForRetention on a Retention Policy Tag in Exchange 2013?
    Note, I'm not the first person to raise this issue. It's been discussed in a number of places including TechNet. Here are a few:
    http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/exchange/en-US/82c01e6e-0184-4d25-b803-45a604ca0c68/retention-policy-tag-problem?forum=exchangesvrsecuremessaginglegacy

    By default there is no property on a message to identify a message is moved from one folder to another.Managed folder used to stamp a new property Moveddate on the message when the ContentSetting on the target folder was set to WhenMoved.
    WhenMoved functionality is not available with Retention Policy . You can raise your concern to make this functionality available by opening a ticket with support.

  • 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

  • Personal tags in Retention Policy only working in OWA, not Outlook 2010 client

    Version: Exchange 2010 SP2
    Client: Office Professional Plus 2010 SP1
    As we don't want to enforce retention or archiving policies, but still give users the options to add tags to folders I set up new Retention Policy with the following tags only:
    -Personal 1 Year move to archive with age limit of 365
    -Personal 2 Year move to archive with age limit of 730
    After enabling the Archive for a test user and adding their mailbox to the retention policy, in Outlook client assigned the "Personal 1 Year move to archive" tag (from Ribbon) to a folder with email going back several years. I ran Folder Assistant
    in PS for that mailbox, but nothing happened.
    I then assigned same tag to same folder using in
    OWA and it worked immediately after running the Folder Assistant.
    ManagedFolderWorkCycle is set with default setting of 1 day.
    I have seen other posts and have tried the above in non-cached mode with no change.
    I posted this in the Partner Network forum too but not much luck there
    Has anyone come across this before? 
    Thanks,

    I decided to document exact steps trying to use Message Management on a different mailbox. Steps and results below. Note all these steps
    were with Outlook in online mode:
    Executive summary
    Adding tags to a folder in OWA works as expected. The same process in Outlook client (even in Online mode) does not.
    1. Enabled Archive for mailbox
    2. Assigned Policy
    3. Opened Mailbox in Outlook client (2010 Professional Plus SP1)
    4. Assigned 1 Year tag to a folder with emails going back 2+ years
    5. Ran "Start-ManagedFolder Assistant" on Exch Svr
    6. Opened mailbox in OWA, folder does not show as having policy assigned
    7. Opened Outlook
    8. Checked in Ribbon if policy still assigned to folder, none showing as selected
    9. Checked Archive, only some mails moved to archive, many that are much older than 1 year not moved
    10. Re-set same tag in Ribbon
    11. Closed Outlook, re-opened, tag still not showing as assigned
    12. Opened Mailbox in OWA
    13. Added 1-year tag to another folder with emails going back 2+ years
    14. Re-ran StartManagedFolderAssistant on Exch Svr
    15. Opened Mailbox in OWA
    16. All emails correctly matching the tag moved to the archive
    17. Policy added to folder in OWA showing as assigned correctly
    18. Policy added to folder in Outlook not showing as having a tag assigned
    19. Opened Outlook
    20. Tags in Ribbon still not showing as having policy assigned
    21. Properties of folder changed through Outlook showing as having “Parent Policy”
    22. Properties of folder changed through OWA showing correct tag/policy

  • Setting the retention Policy to recovery window.

    We are using Netbackup as a our third party tool for corporate backups and have used brbackup with backint on Windows for many years with great success.We would like to incorporate RMAN incremental backups for our backup strategy. Currently our retention policies through netbackup are:
    Backup              Retention
    Daily Online        2 weeks.
    Weekly Online     4 weeks.
    Monthly Online   12 months.
    Redologs            4 weeks.
    We would like to continue to retain the monthly backup. Other than setting the retention policy window to 365, how could we do this???? We would like to avoid growing a huge control file.
    Regards
    Scott

    Hello Scott,
    > We would like to avoid growing a huge control file.
    Ok nice approach, but the (RMAN) data in the control file is reused after the value of the init parameter CONTROL_FILE_RECORD_KEEP_TIME. (has nothing todo with the retention policy)

    > Other than setting the retention policy window to 365, how could we do this????
    You can use the KEEP clause with the command BACKUP or CHANGE.

  • [AS][CS3] Finding text with character style

    Please help to tell me how to find text with a specific character style and then delete the text.
    I had no problem doing this with CS2 but its doing my head in now.
    Thanks,
    Andrew

    Here you go. This assumes that your character style is at the top level of the panel. If you're using style groups, you'll need to write code to get at the style you want to use.
    //DESCRIPTION: Delete text in named character style
    (function() {
      if (app.documents.length > 0) {
        deleteStyledText(app.documents[0]);
      function deleteStyledText(aDoc) {
        var cStyle = aDoc.characterStyles.item("CharStyleName");
        setupFindText();
        app.findTextPreferences.appliedCharacterStyle = cStyle;
        aDoc.changeText();
      function setupFindText(find, change, wholeWd, caseSense, foots, hidLayers, lockedLayers, lockedStories, masters) {
        app.findTextPreferences = null;
        app.changeTextPreferences = null;
        try { app.findTextPreferences.findWhat = find } catch(e) {};

  • 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?

  • 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.

  • Mailbox Retention Policy - Tracking - Logging

    we have a mbx retention policy which deleted items older than 6 months in sent items and it allows the users to receover from the recover deleted items.
    This one users sent items disappered today completely except for 2 emails.  Then she receovered the items from recover deleted items.  Is there a way I can find when was the mbx retetnion policy fired agianst this user?  Even if it was fired
    its shoudl be gradual.
    thanks u

    you can look in event viewer on mailbox server, App logs - filter by event ID
    event ID 10027 Managed Folder Assistant - statistics of MRM expiration at end of this work cycle
    you will not see specific usernames there, but you can isolate this user by just applying policy on her mailbox and run MRM on demand with PS
    start-managedfolderassistant -identity clientname
    also you can temporarily put retention hold and run mrm to see items tagged and their status.. like expires date on top of messages
    thanks

  • Retention Policy and Managed folder based retention

    What is difference between "Retention Policy/ Policy Tags" and " Managed Content Settings"?
    In my setup , my managed folder folder become general folder after following steps
    1. Created Managed folder
    2. Created managed content settings for IPM.post and IPM.Appointment with retention action "Delete and Allow recovery".
    3. Created managed policy and applied to 1 mailbox, and this is working properly
    But After that,
    1. Created 3 retention tags(1 for inbox, 1 for sent, 1 personal).
    2. Created retention policy combining these 3 tags.
    3. Applied to SAME mailbox
    4. Ran 'ManagedFolderAssitant'
    **After this, Managed folder become general outlook folder.
    So, cant I have "Managed folder based retention for managed folders" and General retention for "Inbox,Sent"

    Exchange 2010 RTM introduced Retention Policies as the successor to the Message Records Management (MRM) technology introduced in Exchange 2007. MRM was the successor to Mailbox Manager Policies in Exchange 2003. Message Records Management is called MRM
    1.0 and Retention Policies is being called MRM 2.0 for short. MRM 1.0 as well as MRM 2.0 are both available in Exchange 2010. Only difference is we can manage Retention Policies from the EMC and EMS, but the Managed Folder Mailbox Policy is only Managed from
    the EMS through cmdlets in Exchange 2010 SP1.
    It completely depends on your requirements when to use MRM 1.0 and when to Use MRM 2.0.
     Certain new features are added in MRM 2.0 (Retention Policy) which allow us to manage our mailbox email items at very granular level. But if we are still happy with earlier version MRM 1.0 then we can continue using Managed folder mailbox
    Policy in Exchange 2010.
    [ Note: If we are Using the Retention Policy (MRM 2.0) then we can view the expiry of  each and every email items of the folders on which the retention Policy is tagged and this can be only view from OWA and Outlook 2010, But this feature
    is not available  for  Managed Folder Mailbox Policy (MRM 1.0) ]
    We cannot use the Base Folder only switch in MRM 2.0 because it is TAG  specific (DPT, RPT, and PPT) not Managed Folder specific.
    Managed folder Mailbox Policy is folder specific this would be the major difference.

  • 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.

  • Exchange 2013 CU6 with DAG - ECP Delete does not go to soft-delete state, retention policy ignored

    I am not sure if this is a BUG or this is as intended.  Typically if a mailbox is 'deleted' from the EAC or ECP console the user account is disabled and the mailbox is marked for removal (soft-delete) until the retention policy expires the item (default
    30 days). However we deleted a mailbox and the mailbox was purged immediately as well as the user was moved to the hidden recycle bin in Active Directory.
    We replicated this issue twice in a DAG environment, we do not have this issue in a non-DAG environment.
    Question:  Other than restoring from the backup, is there a way to recover the mailbox?
    Thank You,
    -Jake
    Jacob Evans Jake of All Trades

    Hi,
    I tested in my lab, Exchange 2013 CU1 with DAG deployed, if I deleted a mailbox from EAC, then it would be a disconnected mailbox and the associated Active Directory user account was also deleted. I could find it under the Disconnected Mailbox.
    Was the mailbox logged ever?
    If you delete a mailbox that you never log in, it won't show as disconnected mailbox.
    And for the question :"Question:  Other than restoring from the backup, is there a way to recover the mailbox?", I'm afraid you have to recover from backup.
