anyway to find out whether retention policy works?
Hi all, Exchange 2007 SP3 we have one retention policy which keeps entire mailbox items for one year. Is there a way to find out whether this retention policy works or not on the server side? Thank you.

Hi Jane, As I know, you have to create another similar retention policy but configure it short internal. If the new one works well, they properly have no problem or you need to pay attention on mending them.Best Regards!

Hi Jane If you want to view which retention policy is assigned to a user, please refer to the steps below, 1. Open the Exchange Management Console windows. 2. Navigate to the Recipient Configuration and click Mailbox. 3. Select the user in the middle panel. 4. In the Mailbox Settings tab of the Properties. 5. Select Messaging Records Management and then click Properties. 6. And now we can see which retention policy is assigned to a specific user. In addition, mailboxes can only be assigned one retention policy at a time. If you want to view the mailboxes which this retention policy applies, please follow the steps below, 1. Open the Exchange Management Console windows. 2. Navigate to the Organization Configuration and click Mailbox. 3. Select the retention policy in the Retention Policies tab. 4. Choose Mailboxes tab in the Properties. 5. Now we can see the mailboxes which the retention policy applies. Best Regards!
