Exchange 2010 SP 1 Calendar Retention not working
Has anyone been successful or seen issues with setting Calendar Retention tags on Exchange 2010 SP1? I have it setup but not showing any cleanup? Inbox/Sent/Deleted are all working. We would like to set this up for 365 days. I'm still showing stuff from back in 2006. Hmmmmmmmmm, any ideas or suggestions? Thanks

So, the items still stay in the calendar folder, right? Is it a newly created exchange 2010 SP1 environment? Please post the output of the tag that you used to expire the calendar items Get-RetentionPolicyTag “TagName” Get-RetentionPolicy | Fl Name,RetentionPolicyTagLinks Please verify the type of the undeleted calendar items, whether it’s Non-recurring or recurring Please use MFCMAPI to check the “PR_END_DATE” properties on the items that should be removed How Retention Age is Calculated Please verify if the issue can be reproduced on the newly created test mailbox Please manually trigger the Managed Folder Assistant, and check if there’s any related event in the application log on the MBX servers Configure the Managed Folder Assistant Please increase the diagnostic logging level on the following categories, reproduce the issue, and then check the related event in the application log on the MBX server · ELC Library · Email_Lifecycle_Assistant Please run ExBPA against the exchange servers for health check James Luo TechNet Subscriber Support in forum If you have any feedback on our support, please contact tngfb@microsoft.com Please remember to click Mark as Answer on the post that helps you, and to click Unmark as Answer if a marked post does not actually answer your question.

I have the same issue on Exchange 2010 SP1. Calendar entries do not seem to be deleting. I have performed the above and clearly see dates in the PR_END_DATE several months (exceeding 5 months) and years (exceeding 2 years) for calendar entries. All our other RPT's work for email within the default folders (ie. INBOX, DELETE ITEMS, etc.) and personal folders as defined. The managed folder assistant has been configured and is working as described. I guess my question is: Since there is no way (that I can see or read) to define retention via EMC specifically for calendar items exactly how is retention controlled and managed specific to calendar items? Also, what are the defaults (if any) and how does one change or verify what they are set to? Answers to these questions would help to set a base understanding. Regards, ALan

Looks like the default Calendar and Tasks folders don't process retention tags. "...In Exchange 2010, retention tags aren't supported for the Calendar and Tasks default folders. The Managed Folder Assistant doesn't process items in these folders." From the current online doc, http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb430780.aspx.
