Hi - We are running Exch2010 and are trying to find out how to disallow all users from being able to delete items out of their recovered deleted items folder or bin..... thanks in advance. Shawn

What you really talking about is Single Item Recovery (and Litigation Holds) You can't prevent them from deleting items, but you can ensure that even if they do, the item is kept based on your requirements: http://msexchangeteam.com/archive/2009/09/25/452632.aspx Single Item Recovery in Exchange Server 2010

Thanks Andy! That's great.... is there a way to enable this on an entire mailbox database, or do you have to do this individually on each mailbox?

Sure, just pipe it to the commands. Example: get-mailboxdatabase -server xyz | set-mailbox SingleItemRecoveryEnabled $true

Thank you!

Actually, now getting this: A positional parameter cannot be found that accepts argument 'True'. + CategoryInfo : InvalidArgument: (:) [Set-Mailbox], ParameterBindingException + FullyQualifiedErrorId : PositionalParameterNotFound,Set-Mailbox Thanks!

How about this? ( at the store level instead) get-mailbox -database xyz | set-mailbox SingleItemRecoveryEnabled $true

Thanks for catching that.

Strange that this works with databases that are all one word like Executives, however it does not work with databases that are separated, like SF Executives..... any thoughts? Thanks!

I got it.... needs " " marks for databases with spaces.... Thanks!
