Message----- Well, I am going to
share my beautiful scenario with all of you in hopes that it will prevent
someone from doing the same thing. I learned a valuable lesson about
Mailbox Manager and the DumpsterAlwaysOn regkey. First, the good news
is that you can enable the DumpsterAlwaysOn key
(HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Exchange\Client\Options\DumpsterAlwaysOn=1) after
things are deleted in order to retrieve them. That alone saved my life. Second, the bad news -
don't ever submit a job to Mailbox Manager, then change the settings and click
Apply, before the original job has completed. Here's the story -
Enjoy. After Exchange came
back and said that the job was being processed, I changed the Mailbox Manager
settings back to run our normally scheduled job for next Monday, clicked
Apply. About 20 minutes
later, we started hearing complaints of people getting items deleted out of
their Inbox. I then stopped the Mailbox Manager service, but not until
about 700 mailboxes were cleaned this way. Turns out, that
Mailbox Manager does not take a snapshot of the settings when you first run the
job, it must continually check them as the job runs... hence, instead of
one user getting his inbox cleaned, all of our users got their inbox cleaned
(until I stopped the service). Great way to start the
week, huh? We solved the issue by running a script that would enable the
DumpsterAlwaysOn regkey for those who didn't have it and let the users restore
their mail items. I hope by telling this
story, I can prevent at least one person from going through the hell that I did
yesterday. Angie
