Hello and good day all.
I hope some one can help with this. I have an Exchange 2013 server and i need to set a Retention policy to delete items from select mailboxes after 14 days. These boxes get automated log emails that are only needed if a problem is reported that day. Otherwise they are trash. no users check these boxes and so they tend to fill up.
The following was all done in the web interface.
In "Retention tags" screen I have a policy called "14Days" and it is set "Delete and allow Recovery" then period is "In Days" 14
This is then in the "Retention Policy" Screen added to a policy called "2Weeks"
I then added this in "Mailbox Features" screen to the select boxes.
All this done 26 days ago. I figured i need to wait the 14 days for the cycle to come around. However these boxes still have items from September in them. I used a command line to verify the policy is on the mail boxes.
Some items are in the in-boxes and some are in deleted items.
