Configure Auto Archive

Hello Team,

I am running Exchange 2010 and I was willing to configure Auto Archive feature, where in my goal is to Archive all the emails old than 999 days except NOTES (in outlook) . Yes, we are using Notes as well, so I don't want to archive anything related to Notes , but Exchange Email.

Could some one please suggest a path for the same?

You're referring to retention policy tags?  MRM doesn't support filtering by message type.

I would carefully select the folder to which you apply the tag.

Thank you for responding ED, So is there a way we can bifurcate Notes and Mails in Auto Archive ? Notes means the one which is there in Outlook

Don't put a tag on the Notes folder.

Apply a default retention tag only to the folders where regular items reside and not to Tasks, Contacts and

Hi,

Please confirm the Archive in your post is to move all mailbox data older than 999 days to Archive Mailbox except Notes folder. If it just means the archive to a local PST file in Outlook, it can be achieved in Outlook AutoArchive feature:

If your goal is to move the older items to archive mailbox in Exchange, we can use retention policy to do it:

1. Create a Default Policy Tag to move items older than 999 days to Archive mailbox:

New-RetentionPolicyTag "Default Archive items older than 999 days" -Type All -Comment "Items without a retention tag are moved to archive mailbox after 999 days." -RetentionEnabled $true -AgeLimitForRetention 999 -RetentionAction MoveToArchive

2. Create a Personal Tag for Notes folder:

New-RetentionPolicyTag "Personal Tag for Notes folder" -Type Personal -Comment "The items in Notes folder is never expired." -RetentionEnabled $False -RetentionAction MoveToArchive

3. Create a Retention Policy:

New-RetentionPolicy "New Retention Policy" -RetentionPolicyTagLinks "Default Archive items older than 999 days","Personal Tag for Notes folder"

4. Apply the new created retention policy to mailbox:

Set-Mailbox "Mailbox1" -RetentionPolicy "New Retention Policy"
