Exchange 2007

From this article you need to specify the server name for -Identity

Also take a look here for more information on how to schedule that command.

At the bottom under "For More Information" there are links to other related commands.

Hi,

that command is not correct, since it is for Exchange 2013.

Use command below.

Start-ManagedFolderAssistant -Mailbox ChrisH

Ivan.

What SP  and RU level are you at?

how will I know if my managed folder assistant works , as I want the mailbox size increased for lot of users

does it run in some online maintenance window or how will I configure

I don't want to run manually each time

where should I schedule it to run

no when I increase the mailbox send and receive , I have to run managed folder assist each time , then it reflects the changes

Oh, I see. I taught you are referring to mailbox size.

when I increased the mailbox size I have to run manually

To make sure the policy has been assigned correctly on a mailbox , you can use the following command to check:

Get-Mailbox yourmailbox | Select RetentionPolicy

it shows blank

Here it is: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb123958(v=exchg.80).aspx

Check in Server Configuration --> Mailbox --> Mailbox Server --> Properties --> Messaging Records Management --> and check time set at  Schedule the Managed Folder Assistant.

There you can see when it is going to run, automatically.

Other time then that, you have to run it manually.

This blog tells that the policy may not be immediately available after setting.

BTW...what SP and RU level are you at?

exchange 2007 sp3

you mentioned about 2010

Start-ManagedFolderAssistant
 Start-ManagedFolderAssistant -Identity ExchSrvr1, ExchSrvr2
 Start-ManagedFolderAssistant -Mailbox Chris
 Get-Mailbox -Anr Chr -DomainController DC01 | Start-ManagedFolderAssistant
I ran all the commands with no error

but it still doesn't show 3gb

is it because there is no mrm policy defined but managedfolderassistant can still run

does managed folder assistant requires managed folder mailbox policy defined on mailbox

can you please let me know what is going on

 there are3 images of 1 mailbox one shows item size which is 1.5gb  I also got the same figure when I ran get-mailboxstatistics. but when checked under mailbox settings I see some different figure

 also he sent me another image which shows 9gb, so what is his actual size?
