Exchange 2010 Retention Policy Reports?
-
Thursday, December 09, 2010 3:51 PMIs there a way in Exchange 2010 to have a report emailed to the user and/or administrator on how many emails were permanently deleted due to the retention policy? We want it to be like the mailbox management reports in Exchange 2003. Thanks for any help!

Hi,
You can use Windows Reliability and Performance Monitor to check these information. Please refer the following articles:

Thanks for the reply. Can you confirm that there is no way to reproduce the Exchange 2003 mailbox management reports in Exchange 2010?
If using Performance Monitor is the only way to log Messaging Records Management, are there step-by-step instructions for setting this up on a schedule and rotating logs?
Thank you!

Hi,
Mailbox management reports is still available in exchange 2010:
1. Open EMC, expand to Organization Configuration->Mailbox.
2. In database Management tab, right click your mailbox server and choose properties.
3. In Maintenance tab, check the Journal Recipient, then select your account.

I looked up Journaling (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa998649.aspx#scope).
It says "Journaling can help your organization respond to legal, regulatory, and organizational compliance requirements by recording inbound and outbound e-mail communications."
We don't want to record inbound and outbound e-mail. Is there a way to configure Journaling to just report on items deleted due to retention policy? Is this the only way to accomplish what we want? Thanks.

Monday, December 13, 2010 9:00 PMThis is not the same as Exchange 2003 Mailbox Mangement reporting. With this turned on the recipient that you add to the journaling gets all emails sent. This does not give you a report of items cleaned like Exchange 2003.

Hello,
Any luck on e-mailing reports from Exchange to the Admin?
