Deleted Items Confirguation in Exchange 2007
I'm working on a network in which users are disabled by policy from adjusting folder archive settings in Outlook. However, one of my users wants to set his Deleted Items folder to automatically purge items that are more than 60 days old. As I cannot set this up in Outlook, I was wondering if there was a way of specificying this at the server level for this user only. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

The final step is to schedule Exchange to run this.
Server Configuration > Hub Transport. Right-click on the server, choose Properties, then click on the Messaging Record Management tab. In here you can tell Exchange when to run all of this. Looks like it's a gross operation though: you can't schedule particular policies at particular times, just times for Exchange to run all of its policies.

mgiller & x0tsing, thanks for posting the actual steps. MS has gone and updated the urls in technet to point at Exchange 2010, not 2007 like originally posted.
The steps work perfectly, except it's Server Configuration > Mailbox > Properties > Messaging Record Management tab.

--Under Organization Configuration, Mailbox, you need to go to Managed Default Folders and select Deleted Items, then add a new Managed Content Setting that deletes items after they've been in Deleted Items for over 30 days
--Go to Managed Folders Mailbox Policies and create a policy that uses the new Managed Content Setting
--Assign the new Policy to the user in question
I followed all the steps, and am having my user keep an eye on his deleted items to make sure it works properly. He uses Outlook 2002, though, so I'm hoping there won't be any trouble with the setting. The docs say that you need at least Outlook 2003 to use the managed settings on custom folders, but since Deleted Items is a Default folder it should work--or so I hope. We shall see!
