Exchange 2010 messaging records management

Hi,

i think this could help, check it out.
http://www.shudnow.net/2010/04/08/exchange-2010-sp1-retention-policies/

I tried the first link.  I created the tag using inbox as the type and then assigned it to a new policy, however, the creation of the policy fails with the error below.  The policy ends up being created though.  I did track down event ID 2080 and one of my DC's (not the one i the error) was noted as out of site.  I noticed it's clock was off by 3 mins.  I changed it's clock but not sure if that has anything to do with this.  The DC it's pointing to is a 2003 domain controller/exchange server.  It's old but seems healthy per the event logs.

Can you please share the 2080 eventID details

- Rancy

Below is the 2080 event ID details.  After looking at it all DC's seem to be okay.  I was reading it wrong..   Not sure what the problem is.  But...  The retention policy ends up being there after the error.  Not sure to if it's actually working or not.  All Dc's have curent time and seem okay.

Yes everything from this view looks perfect .... if Exchange is still looking at out of Site DC please restart ADTopology (This will restart all apart then IS and SA service)

- Rancy

After hours I'll restart the ADToplogy service after hours and will then update the ticket.

Thanks

Rancy,

I'm still getting errors...  Once the error goes away I re-assign the mailbox and no errors are displayed.  The policies do run though.. I ran the command 'Start-ManagedFolderAssistant -Identity “userA” and a few mins later it purged as it should.

Was there some old DC not removed properly as why it seems some AD replication or AD related issues as i see

Can you run EXBPA once and ensure its clean or no related errors reported ?
What is the current SP and RU ?

- Rancy

All DC's are still there and none have been removed.  The DC it's referring to is also an old Exchange server not being used anymore.  I'll try running EXBPA.  I'll also update tomorrow with SP and RU.

Old Exchange whats it doing ?
