Exchange 2007 Folder Policies
I understand how to create a managed folder policy. My problem is I have a single Exchange organization for my County But I have different departments with different policies (IE Criminal Justice has it's own and separate servers). How can I create folder retention/quotas per server? Some departments would like 90 days on deleted items and some would like none or 120 days. I preferred the 2003 server way.

Hi, I think this should be possible by creating multiple managed content settings, in your case one per department. Assign the settings to the entire mailbox item on the managed default folders. Once created assign the specific content settings to the correct users. This can be either done via the Exchange Management Console or Shell. In case you have a lot of users the last one maybe the easiest way.

I tried this already (assuming I'm doing it correctly). I always get an error "Managed Content Settings for the specified message class already exist for this folder. --JJ-- Hi, I think this should be possible by creating multiple managed content settings, in your case one per department.

Thanks. I actually thought about that but I wasn't sure if it would create additional folders under Outlook. I'm going to give this a try. --JJ-- See below if it helps. http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/exchangesvrcompliance/thread/dd227132-e86e-449e-823b-4b1878d205b1 Sukh
