Planning Exchange In-lnplace Archiving
Hello experts
I want to have some ideas about Exchange In place Archiving.
How do you create archiving policies (A good documentation will be helpfull)
Do you have the possibility to set policies to archive automatically or you canleave it to end users to archive what they want
And lastly when the archivingis in place does it reduce automatically the size of the mailbox database for exemple if you have a 250GB database after archiving does it reduce automatically?

This solution is only available to members.
To access this solution, you must be a member of Experts Exchange.
you can set some specific policies for the default "special" folders, and you can create or modify a set of custom tags that users can use for other folders.
You must give to your users to set which folders can be archived or not, and how.
Now, an Exchange mailbox database "NEVER" reduces automatically. You have to defragment it (generally a bad idea), or better move mailboxes in another new database, then remove the old one.
Defragment consumes Time, Space and block access to the user.
Moving mailboxes can be done during normal use, and only moved users are only impacted at the end of the move (Message saying that they have to restart Outlook).
