Heres the deal -<br />
<br />
I am an admin for a medium sized business (80-100 users) - My full backup is around 250gb - i run a full backup every night because thats the way the higher ups want it done. I went around recently and looked at different users e-mail boxes and they have thousands of e-mails in their deleted items box. I am running exchange 2003 with veritas 9.1 by the way : ) Anyway, I want to clear out those deleted items folder without going around to each e-mail box and doing it. Is there a way to do this through group policy? If not, whats the easiest way to go about doing this? I want to slim down the backups.<br />
<br />
Thanks in advance - 125 points for this one.
