How to use retentions policies in OWA

Please don't use acronyms without defining them first
I am trying to setup retention policies for my boss's email. He uses Outlook 2013 on his laptop. Am I correct in thinking that if I set up retention policies through his microsoft 365 Outlook Web App, the retention policies will be applied to Outlook
2013 client on his laptop? He does have exchange. 
As I understand it, retention policies cannot be applied to default folders (Inbox, sent items, deleted items, and junk mail). Retention policies can only be applied to created custom folders. Is this true?
Are Deleted items and Junk Mail retained for a certain period and then deleted by default? If so, what is the default retention period? Can it be changed?
Does Office 365 back up emails? If so, how long does it retain emails? Can it be changed?
I did setup a Test folder with a retention policy that was a week long. A week later I check on an email I placed in the Test folder and the email said it had 0 days until expiration. I checked the Test folder again a week later and it was deleted.
Is the Test email recoverable? I would prefer that it is not. I did some research and found that the Managed Folder Assistant needs to run before expired items are deleted. How do I get Managed Folder Assistant to run every night? I don't know how to use Powershell
and only have access to OWA.
I need to figure this out pretty soon. If you need more info. just ask.

2. Policies are applied at the Mailbox Level. So if you apply a Retention Policy to his mailbox, it would indeed be "pushed" to his outlook.
3. Default Folders do have retention policies, however I believe the users can not change them. I will have to verify that. I do know that you can setup custom policies for other folders and the users can choose which policies they want on that folder. 
4. Again you will have to find out which policy is applied to that mailbox and find out which retention tags are set for those folders.

  • Filters for retentions policies in OWA

    I created new retention policy 'Move messages older then 180 days'
    my Retention Policy works good but I need setup some filters
    filter for some email boxes
    filtered emails should stay in Inbox folder and does not move into archive folder
    how I can do it ?
    thanks

    Hi,
    Agree with ManU PhiliP. If you want to prevent archiving items in a specific folder, you can apply a personal tag “never move to archive” to this folder.
    You can refer to the following blog for more details about this.
    http://blogs.technet.com/b/exchange/archive/2011/08/05/prevent-archiving-of-items-in-a-default-folder-in-exchange-2010.aspx
    You can use the Start-ManagedFolderAssistant cmdlet to immediately start messaging records management (MRM) processing of mailboxes that you specify.

  • How often do Retention Policies run in O365 SharePoint?

    Hello,
    I am trying to set up a retention policy on a list in SharePoint Online (O365) that will initiate a workflow I built in SharePoint Designer.  I already noticed that I must create the workflow using the 2010 workflow template (not 2013), or else it does
    not show up in my retention policy as a workflow that can be initiated.  What I would like to know is the schedule for checking the information policies.  Is it weekly?  Specifically what day and time should I expect the policy
    to be checked?  We have an E3 license.
    I know that in an on-premise environment, the retention policy schedule can be modified in Central Admin, but we do not have access to modify this in O365.
    Thanks! 

    On premis these jobs run over the weekend( weekly). for the SPO that is official position:
    Since the timer jobs are managed by Microsoft and no option for users to adjust timer job configuration in SharePoint
    Online, I am sorry to inform you that we don’t have a time interval list the time jobs services as SharePoint On-Premise.
    But from
    this post "
     The Expiration Policy timer job is set to run daily, so there could be a delay in processing your retention policy".
    But if you need further information, open a services desk ticket
    with SPO.
    Please remember to mark your question as answered &Vote helpful,if this solves/helps your problem. ****************************************************************************************** Thanks -WS MCITP(SharePoint 2010, 2013) Blog: http://wscheema.com/blog

  • Retention policies, expiration

    Exchange 2013 on-premise 1/27/2015
    I have a retention policy that moves deleted items from the deleted folder to the recovery folder after 2 weeks. it is applied to all mailboxes but for this example we will observer mine.
    when I look in my deleted items folder I see the retention policy applied, items are flagged with expiration dates.
    However, several say "This item is expired" "Expires 1/23/2015" this item for example was put in the deleted items folder on the 9th, today is the 27, it expired on the 23rd.
    So why hasn't it moved to the retention items folder?
    Exchange is 100% up-to-date, MS Outlook client is 100% up-to-date. I have run the MFA against my mailbox several times.

    Hi,
    Are you using retention policies on any other folders in your mailbox?  If so, are any of these working properly?
    If possible, please apply retention policy with permanently delete action to a test mailbox to check if these items can be deleted.
    Please check the application log whether it has Event ID 9017 and 9018, make sure the MRM works well. Please check the Microsoft Exchange Mailbox Assistants service is working well.
    You can also increase the diagnostic logging level for the MRM, and then monitor the Event in the application log.

  • How to use SMIME in OWA for External Recipeints

    Hello,
           I am using a hybrid on premises active directory with office 365 environment with AD synced to office 365 using DIRSYNC. We are trying to achieve being able to send encrypted emails to clients using SMIME in OWA. We have
    used certutil to import certificates for some internal users which seems to let you send an encrypted email to them. However when creating a contact in AD for the external user and successfully importing the cert (you can see it in the userCertificate and
    userSMIMECertificate attribute in the object)  we are unable to email the recipient with an encrypted email as OWA cannot find the certificate. Also the internal users certificates appear in theirs entries in the GAL however the external contacts
    do not have their certificate included.
    Could someone advise me how to use OWA to send SMIME encrypted emails to external recipients. You can't add a certificate to a contact in OWA as far as I can see.
    Many Thanks
    Paul

    Hi,
    Please refer to the following article :
    http://blogs.office.com/2014/02/26/smime-encryption-now-in-office-365/
    Using S/MIME in OWA
    In OWA, users can choose different options to encrypt the message and/or digitally sign it using S/MIME.
    Hope this helps!

  • Different retention policies for RMAN

    Hi@all,
    on our DB Server with RHEL 6 and Oracle 11.2.0.3.0 we're creating the following backups with RMAN:
    - every day at 11:00 pm Level 0 backup
    - every day at 05:00 am, 11:00 am and 05:00 pm Level 1 backup
    I've activated this retention policy:
    CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY TO RECOVERY WINDOW OF 7 DAYS;
    So every backup is obsolete after 7 days. We use the control file and no recovery catalog. We have to get so much backups in front of SLA's.
    Now (in front of our physical disk space) i want to switch the retention policy to the following:
    - Fullbackups (level 0)should be obsolete after 7 days
    - incremental backups (level 1) should be obsolete after 2 days
    - arch. redologs should be obsolete after 7 days (i like to use LogMiner and mostly i need the arch. redo logs from the last 7 days in our company)
    Is it possible in RMAN to define different retention policies for the different types of backups?
    Thanks for your help and regards,
    David

    You misunderstand what retention policy is and how it works.
    When you say 'retention policy 7 days' you are telling rman to keep everything -- all backups of all types -- that are necessary to recover to any point within the last 7 days.   If you say 7 days, rman makes the decision on what he needs to recover, not you.
    And note that all recovery begins with the most recent full backup prior to the requested point in time.   So if you are taking a level 0 backup every seven days, with a 7 day retention, six days into the cycle, you will still need the level 0 backup from 13 days ago, so rman will not consider it obsolete.

  • How to use a custum permission in the .policy file

    Hi,
    I am stuck with the problem of having a custum permission that extands java.security.BasicPermission.
    I really want this permission to be checked from my .policy file, but when I try to include its location : c:\java_project\server\SpecialPolicy.class
    it pops a message that file is not found. I have tried dots, different slashes (back and forward) and still have no luck. I need this custum permission to be checked so that I can allow special access from a certain codebase so that say if I try a dangerous method I can just simply check in the code;
    this.getSecurityManager.checkPermission(new SpecialPermission("lol"));
    Also I need a paramater option, but I cant think of any since its not a FilePermission that takes a name and attributes (read, write..) what does BasicPermission take and if I extend it what attribute should I pass in. I dont really care about how this permission works, i just use it to restrict access to a certain functions in code that are ran from specific codeBAse.
    Please dont ask why I need this :)
    Thanks in advance, the documentation on how to add custum policies is simply NOT THERE. thus I have to bug people around.

    Hi
    If you just have to add another permission it is easy.
    Create a class extending the BasicPermission. Have an entry into
    the policy file like
    grant <Principal> {
    permission <CumstomPermission> "lol"
    }that should be all. If you do have a specific Principal, please
    do not forget to add the Principal to the relevant Subject after login.
    cheers

  • How to use Javamail for accessing additional mailboxes -IMAP, Exchange 2010

    hi,
    I want to access a shared mailbox (NOT FOLDER) via Javamail API (1.4.5) using IMAP(s) with plain logon. The mailserver is a Exchange Server 2010.
    User: user1 ([email protected])
    pwd: xxxx
    shared mailbox: [email protected]
    Properties:
    mail.imaps.socketFactory.port = 993
    mail.imaps.starttls.enable = true
    mail.imaps.socketFactory.class = javax.net.ssl.SSLSocketFactory
    mail.imaps.socketFactory.fallback = false
    username = [email protected]
    password = xxxx
    I´ve managed to get access to the user1 - mailbox:
    Session session = Session.getInstance(properties, new ExchangeAuthenticator(username, password));
    session.setDebug(true);
    Store store = session.getStore("imaps");
    store.connect(imapHost, username, password);
    --> this works just fine! But now i want to access the additional mailbox by changing the login-String:
    [email protected]/shared_MB (user@domain/additional_MB)
    --> unfortunately I´m getting an "NO AUTHENTICATE" message:

    I was able to get access with Thunderbird and also with the Exchange OWA-Client, so I think there is something missing in my code...
    or is it just impossible to get access to a different mailbox using javamail and plain-auth?
    Thank you in advance.

    Thanks bshannon, that was a great idea!
    I haven´t found an solution yet, but I have maybe identified the real problem:
    Here is some interessting Thunderbird - Logging stuff:

    744[7161040]: login succeeded
    --> okay, so Thunderbird is using "old-style IMAP login" and is successful.
    Unfortunately I have no idea what that actually means or how to use it in Javamail (is it even supported?). Any suggestions?

  • How to use OEM grid control to find any database not in archivelog mode?

    Hello,
    currently we have 130 databases, say, if I want to pick out any database currently NOT in archivelog mode, is there a quick way to find out ?
    by using OEM grid control
    or
    some trick similar,
    but really don't need to check each database manually.
    thank you very much!

    This query works in 12c - please run as SYSMAN.
    It is based on undocumented assumptions though +( AND key_value = 'NOARCHIVELOG')+.

  • How to create & handle policies?

    Question from a customer (anonymized):
    It is my understanding that the reference implementation comes with 4 sample policies:  Ad-pol, dto-pol, sub-pol, and vod-pol.  Without a policy file, both the f4fpackager and the Adobe Access SDK fail to generate DRM data.  As such, we are trying to determine what policy file should be used for the initial implementation and the impact if we choose to change the policy file later (i.e. would we need to repackage all assets again to include the updated policy file?).
    In my mind, the first step is to understand what parameters can be declared in each policy file.  The second step is to determine what parameters are in scope for us (requirements).  And then finally, we need to implement the desired policy with the desired parameters (looks like we do this via the Policy Update List Manager?).  Would you agree with this approach?  Any recommendations overall – how other companies proceed?  Is the only documentation on this topic found in the Protecting Content -> Using the Adobe Access Reference Implementations document?

    The entire content prep and license server configuration life cycle is documented in the "Protecting Content" document.  All of the information I describe below can be found (in even more detail) there.  http://www.adobe.com/support/adobeaccess/pdfs/server/AdobeAccess_4_ProtectingContent.pdf
    The policies you’re speaking of our some sample/demo policies that our Reference Implementation License Server uses for our Business Rules sample.  It’s a mode you can set in the license server, where it’ll serve out licenses abiding by the restrictions in one of those Ad-Supported, Download-to-Own, Subscription, or Video-On-Demand sample policies you’re looking at.  Page 22 of the Ref Impl usage guide will demonstrate how to package content that'll demonstrate this Business Logic:  http://www.adobe.com/support/adobeaccess/pdfs/server/AdobeAccess_4_RefImpl.pdf
    A policy, once created, can be used in any situation, so you’re free to use those sample policies (if they suit you), or build your own policies using our Java Adobe Policy Manager, or by directly using our Adobe Access SDK.  I’ll go into details on how to use either approach below.
    [ What is a policy? ]
    A name:value set of license restrictions.  A description of all the license restrictions that can be defined in a policy can be found in the "Usage Rules" section here: http://www.adobe.com/support/adobeaccess/pdfs/server/AdobeAccess_4_ProtectingContent.pdf
    [ How is a policy used during packaging (encrypting)? ]
    The packager takes the policy as an opaque blob of data to insert into the DRM Metadata during packaging.  When the client requests a licnese, it'll send the entire DRM Metadata blob to the License Server (without parsing it).  The DRM Metadata contains the following information:
    - License Server URL
    - Policy
    - Content Encryption Key (encrypted using the License Server's Public Key)
    [ How is a policy used during Adobe Access License Server issuance? ]
    A policy is a suggested "blueprint" that the Adobe Access license server may choose to use in order to determine what constraints/restrictions to include into the license it vends to the client.  The key words here are "suggested" and "blueprint".  "Suggested" infers that the server can choose to only listen to some (or all) of the restrictions named in the policy.  The license server can even choose to override any/all of the policy fields.  To the extreme case, the license server may choose to completely ignore the policy sent up in the metadata and use it's own policy (by creating one from scratch, or using the built-in PolicyUpdateList functionality).
    Once all of the policy properties are decided, it is used by the License Server to generate a license to send down to the client.

  • How to configure security policies like account locking, account expiry in portal application?

    Hi All,
    Can anybody pls tell me how to configure security policies like account locking,
    account expiry in portal application? By default, it has a 30 minutes lock period
    after 5 retries. But if I want to set other values or want to unlock account of
    a user, then what to do ?
    TIA,
    Sudarson

    I have read the SSO admin guide, and performed the steps for enabling SSL on the SSO, and followed the steps to configure mod_osso with virtual host on port 4443 as mentioned in the admin guide.
    The case now is that when I call my form (which is developed by forms developer suite 10g and deployed on the forms server which is SSO enabled) , it calls the SSO module on port 7777 using http (the default behaviour).
    on a URL that looks like this :
    http://myhostname:7777/pls/orasso/orasso.wwsso_app_admin.ls_login?Site2pstoreToken=.......
    and gives the error :
    ( Forbidden
    You don't have permisission to access /sso/auth on this server at port 7777)
    when I manually change the URL to :
    https://myhostname:4443/pls/orasso/orasso.wwsso_app_admin.ls_login?Site2pstoreToken=.......
    the SSO works correctly.
    The question is :
    How can I change this default behaviour and make it call SSO on port 4443 using https instead ?
    Any ideas ?
    Thanks in advance

  • Retention Policies without Recreation of mailboxes

    Greetings,
    i'm wondering if it's possible to create Retention Policy and with these tags:
    Delete and Allow Recovery after 3 years
    Move to archive after 1 year
    without recreation of whole mailbox.
    Because I've several Databases with around 200 Mailboxes.
    Imagine how much bandwidth and time would it take to download new mailbox from server.
    For example in three years one mailbox has around 3GB.
    I tried applying this and it recreated all mailboxes, whole network went down because of download.
    Thank you.

    If I understood you correctly: it is possible to apply non-default retention policies to existing mailboxes,

  • Bandwidth Management(Rate Limit) Using QoS Policies

    Hello,
    I need some advice. We have an ASA 5525 running version 8.6(1)2 and a 10 MG pipe. I have execs that want to limit bandwidth on users for stuff like youtube, stream media, and downloads. I found the article on ‘Bandwidth Management(Rate Limit) Using QoS Policies’ so it appears our firewall can do what we want. I’m not a cisco person. My knowledge is limited when it comes to configuration – that’s why we have SmartNet :). The advice I need is what to ask for, so to speak, when I put a case in. Can bandwidth be limited on end users and/or can they limit the ‘bandwidth rate limit’ to just youtube, steaming media, and downloads? If so, what should the limit be? and I’m assume this would be for ‘incoming’ traffic only? we’re running into some bandwidth hogs – usually youtube and/or streaming media. We have a Barracuda web filter which we’ve used to block and monitor activity but I simply do not have time to babysit this all day. I should also mention we do have critical data running up and down the pipe; such as credit card processing, DB replication between in house DB and hosted website, TPCx and EDI, FTP, and such that we don’t want restricted.
    Need input please,
    Thanks,

    Hello,
    That's a question that you as the network admin of that organization could answer.
    How much traffic for business purposes must travel via HTTP/HTTPS?
    How much bandwith are you willing to provide to this 2 protocols?
    Those are the kind of answers you need to answer before setting the number

  • Archived video retention policies

    Wondering if anyone has good links to video archive retention policies.
    We are probably going to institute some sort of retention policies in the near future.
    We will be keeping orginal tapes, and archiving the straight captures of the tapes.
    We obviously will also store the fcp projects.
    Also, we will be archiving the finished products.
    Looking for others' policies so we can see what other edu's and coms are setting as rules for how long stuff is stored in each format.
    thanks

    I keep the tapes.
    The FCP project files, stills, created graphics, project files and assets from applications like Motion and AE, music and sound effects...those I burn to DVD and archive. I also export a self contained movie of the final show...texted and textless and archive those to hard drive...and keep copies of the final output tapes.
    I never back up the captured footage that I have the tapes for. I either keep the tapes, or if required by the network, send the tapes back to them....since they own them. If they want the project revisited and rebuilt, they need to send them back.
