Is it Possible to setup Retention Policies on an Archive Folder? &nbsp;<br />
<br />
We are setting up our Exchange Users with Mailbox Size limits. &nbsp;However in order to do this we will need to implement AutoArchive. &nbsp;(I know what a PAIN) &nbsp;we are looking at applying Group Policy to setup our Archive Settings on all client machines. &nbsp;My question is... Does anyone know of a solution to setup a retention policy on the Archive Folder itself? &nbsp;Our Document Retetion policy states we do not keep email older then 12 months. &nbsp;Therefore we want to delete all items older then 12 months out of the users archive. &nbsp;I know we can set this setting on each individual folder in the archive but it would be very nice to automate this setting. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
<br />
Thanks! &nbsp;
