Hi all,

I've configured email arching and everything is working fine.

The retention policy contains the following tags:

Retention tag type: Default

Retention period: Hold for 730 days

After retention period: Move To Archive


In the example below I would run the following command to kick off the email arching process for tony.smith@contoso.com

Start-ManagedFolderAssistant -Identity tony.smith@contoso.com


How can I check the status of this to know when its 100% complete for tony.smith@contoso.com?

All help will be highly appreciated.

Thank you

There is nothing much you can check anywhere other then the end effect... However you can run Export-MailboxDiagnosticLogs to see certain things and probably ElcLastRunSuccessTimeStamp of the output... 

Export-MailboxDiagnosticLogs Identity tony.smith@contoso.com -ExtendedProperties

You can take a look at Tony's blog post to see meaning of various fields of Export-MailboxDiagnosticLogs output and details....
