Hi Chandu,
Have you find the solution finally? Have you tried Pavan's suggestion?
Sorry for my lacking of code and script. If your requirement still haven't been achieved, I suggest we can ask a question in Exchange Development forum and Script Center for more professional suggestion:

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?

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.

Apply password policy to all users

Hi,
I have been poking around with setting up a password policy on Sun DS 6.3.1. Everything works ok but I only have seen examples of how to apply the password policy to a single user, with an ldif something like:
dn: uid=pepe,ou=People,dc=mycompany,dc=com
changetype: modify
replace: pwdPolicySubentry
passwordPolicySubentry:
cn=MyPolicy,dc=mycompany,dc=com
but I haven't figured out how to apply it to all users or to a group of users. What I would like to do is to apply the policy to all users under ou=People,dc=mycompany,dc=com.
Any tips ?
Thanks in advance.

For all users, simply modify the global password policy.
For specific group of users, create a password policy and a Class of Service which links the users to the policy. Just search the directory server docs on how to do that in details.

Our granddaughter has a ipod. She's getting a iphone and a mini idpad. what is the best way to set them up. Does she need a new apple id and password or would she use the same one she has for her ipod

Just use the same one on all devices.

I set in prefferances plug-ins. Show all filter gallery groups and names, but they are still light gray and not selectable

I set in preferences plug-ins. Show all filter gallery groups and names, but they are still light gray and not selectable

They are being shown. When Photoshop gray out items it means in the documents current state that item is not supported, Get the document into a state that the grayed out filters can be used. Some filters mat not support some modes like CMYK. 32bit color, Lab etc. They seem to be listed but nor currently applicable. Note whem no document is open all are grayed out the when a simple clipboard image is open all are available.

Hi,
In order to resolve this issue more efficiently, I recommend you post to the Script forum which is staffed by more experts specializing in this kind of problems. You might get a better answer there. Thanks for understanding.

Hi,
I generally get all mailboxes first and then use a foreach loop to process each one. This usually seems to fix the error about concurrent pipelines.
$mbxs = Get-Mailbox
foreach ($mbx in $mbxs) {
# Do stuff here on each mailbox

Basic question on setting Redundancy as the Retention policy

DB version:11g
I am planning to implement Differential Incremental Backup for my database. My strategy is
Sunday -->     Level 0 backup
Monday -->     Level 1 backup
Tuesday-->     Level 1 backup
Wednesday-->     Level 1 backup
Thursday-->     Level 1 backup
Friday-->     Level 1 backup
Saturday-->      Level 1 backup
Again, the new weekly backup cycle starts
Sunday -->     Level 0 backup
Monday -->     Level 1 backup
.Retention Policy set to Recovery Window
==========================
I understand What Recovery window retention policy means.If i configure
'CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY TO RECOVERY WINDOW OF 7 DAYS;' This means only those backups which are older than 7 days will be reported as obsolete when the 'delete obsolete' command is executed.
Retention Policy set to Redundancy
=============================
But i am a bit confused about Retention Policy set to Redundancy:
Does
CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY TO REDUNDANCY 3;mean that you maintain 3 copies of backups on different disk locations ? How does this fit in with my above mentioned incremental backup strategy?

Thank you Centinul.
If REDUNDANY simply means maintain N number of copies of datafiles then what does
BACKUP DEVICE TYPE DISK COPIES 3 DATAFILE 7 FORMAT '/u02/orabkp/%U','/u01/oradata/%U';command do?Are they both the same?

Query For Retention Policy On All Folders

I am looking for a way to query for the retention policy assigned to all user folders (per folder/per user). My client allows the user to set the folder retention policy per folder and would like to know how each user has that configured. This is for
a 700 user environment. I know any CSV generated as output could have thousands of rows.
thanks.

You will have to use EWS for that. Here's an example (for 2013):
$getRTResp=$exchangeService.GetUserRetentionPolicyTags()
function GetTagName($tagGUID) {
if (!$tagGUID) { return ($getRTResp.RetentionPolicyTags | ? {$_.Type -eq "All"}).DisplayName }
foreach ($tag in $getRTResp.RetentionPolicyTags) {
if ($tag.RetentionId -eq $tagGUID) { return $tag.DisplayName }
$FpageSize =100
$FOffset = 0
$folderView = new-object Microsoft.Exchange.WebServices.Data.FolderView($FpageSize,$FOffset,[Microsoft.Exchange.WebServices.Data.OffsetBasePoint]::Beginning)
$folderView.Traversal = [Microsoft.Exchange.WebServices.Data.FolderTraversal]::Deep
$folderView.PropertySet = new-object Microsoft.Exchange.WebServices.Data.PropertySet(
[Microsoft.Exchange.WebServices.Data.BasePropertySet]::IdOnly,
[Microsoft.Exchange.WebServices.Data.FolderSchema]::DisplayName,
[Microsoft.Exchange.WebServices.Data.FolderSchema]::ArchiveTag,
[Microsoft.Exchange.WebServices.Data.FolderSchema]::PolicyTag,
[Microsoft.Exchange.WebServices.Data.FolderSchema]::FolderClass);
$oFindFolders = $exchangeService.FindFolders([Microsoft.Exchange.WebServices.Data.WellKnownFolderName]::MsgFolderRoot,$null,$folderView)
foreach ($folder in $oFindFolders.Folders) {
Write-host $folder.DisplayName "has Policy:" $(GetTagName $folder.ArchiveTag.RetentionId)
Obviously, it needs some work, a loop for all 700 users, proper error handling, etc. But hopefully it illustrates the idea. For older versions, its a bit more work to get the Name of the tag, but you can also use Get-RetentionPolicyTag for that.

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

Applying Custom Skin to the new Space created

Hi All,
I am working with Avitek VM sample. I have logged in as an administrator and created a new space in Webcenter Spaces. I have to apply my own corporate branding to the Space I have newly created.
I have created a skin at runtime and tried to apply that skin to the space created newly, but I couldnot see any changes in the UI.
It would really helpfull if some one can shed light on the below.
1. Applying the skin to the space created.
2. Where would I store the images used in the CSS file, so that they can be applied to the space when I apply the skin.
I am using Jdev 11.1.1.4 and Webcenter PS3
Thanks,
SK.
Edited by: 900114 on Dec 1, 2011 2:50 AM

Hi 900114,
What changes did you make to the skin to add your company brand?
Cause you should change the page template along with the skin to add any new items to the pages. Also, the logo/icon for any page is dynamic and by default will be the logo that comes with the space templates used to created the space. You can change that in the 'General Settings' for that page.
Thanks,

How do I set up my old ipad for my daughter and get my new ipad up and running?

I want to remove me from an older ipad and set it up for my daughter and then set up my new one.

Wipe iPhone/iPad/iPod touch clean
There are a few steps to do:
Switch off iMessage in Settings > Messages
Switch off FaceTime in Settings > FaceTime (iPod touch 4th Generation or later, iPhone 4 or later and iPad 2 or later)
Delete iCloud in Settings > iCloud > Delete Account
Finally Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings.
Un-register your device: https://supportprofile.apple.com
Now you can sell/give.
You can share your books, music and apps with your daughter using the purchasing Apple ID in
Settings > iTunes & App Stores > purchasing Apple ID here.
Get another Apple ID using a valid e-mail address for her so that she can use the other Apple services e.g. Game Center, iMessage, FaceTime etc.

After updating to iCloud and setting up iCal sync the program deleted all my Outlook events and cleared them from my office's server. How do I now sync my still existing iCal events back to Outlook for syncing with my office.

How can I get my Outlook information that was moved to iCal back onto my Outlook calendar for syncing with my office's exchange service?

Problem solved I think. I exported my iCloud Calendar file in Outlook to Google Calendar which in turned re-populated my Outlook default calendar. This was picked up by the exchange and sent to all computers in the office.
I had hoped that iCloud, and its calendaring abilities, would remove my need for Google calendar to serve as an exchange between my iPad, iPhone and Outlook on PC (and with it connection to my staff). However, it seems that iCloud is simply not to that point yet. Hopefully Apple will begin to implement some of the processes Google Sync utilizies, specifically the ability for Sync to keep a PC running Outlook and an Android based phone in near-real-time sync. It seems that as of yet Apple has not considered the cross-platform issues of the iPhone being in wide-use in business/commercial settings with PCs running Outlook (and said PC being networked to staff, coworkers, etc...).

Retention Policy problems

Hello,
i am trying to set up the automated archival of Exchange 2013.
So that e-mails, which are older than e.g. 1 year are get moved to the archive.
What i did:
1. Create a archive database
2. Create a archive mailbox
3. Create a retention tag
4. Create a retention policy
4.1 Including a Default tag and a personal tag
5. Linked it to a user: Set-mailbox “administrator” -RetentionPolicy "Movetoarchivpolicy"
6. Checked the User: Get-Mailbox “administrator” | Select RetentionPolicy
7. Started the ManagedFolderAssistant: Start-ManagedFolderAssistant -Identity “administrator”
8. But all Mails stayed in the Mailbox
9. I tryed to manually assign a retention tag to a Mail, but I dont have the button. (OWA and Outlook 2013 ProPlus).
Have anyone an idea, why i don't have the "assign policy" button?
And why all Mails stay in the Mailbox?
Thanks,

Hi,
Event 9018 means that Mailbox Assistant has processed the mailbox successfully. But retention policy still didn't work.
I recommend you create a new test mailbox and apply retention policy to this new mailbox to check if it works.
And please increase diagnostic logging level for MRM, and then monitor application log to check if there is any related events.
Best regards,
