That's a good question!  I've never actually checked.  I suspect it
forms part of the online maintenance, but I'm not 100% sure.  I'll have
a dig around (unless anyone else here knows?)

Thanks--sounds like something I need to look up/read up on.  Is there a
already a default set schedule for when this runs/properties I can
access via the GUI for it (besides just running it)?

It's only marked with a red X once the Cleanup Agent has run against the
store.  You can manually force the Cleanup Agent by right-clicking the
Mailboxes object under the store and choosing the Run Cleanup Agent
option.

Subject: Do not permanently delete option


We ran into an interesting problem the other day and I'm wondering how
others have configured their E2k (sp2) option of "Do not permanently
delete mailboxes and items until the store has been backed up".  I'm
thinking of unchecking the box but am wondering what the repercussions
are.

We currently have set 21 days on deleted items, 30 days on deleted
mailboxes, Box is checked for "do not permanently delete...", and we
have limits on all mailboxes currently ranging from 20 to 100MB.

The problem we had was that after a personnel shuffle (several account
renames), after a few days the final leftover user account was deleted
by the account operator, including home directory, roaming profile, and
E2k mailbox.  Within a few hours the department who'd had that user
previously called up and said "we have a temporary person here and would
like them to have access to the previous person's files and mailbox".
Account operator comes to me :)

So, we decided in this case we could create a new user account, restore
the files, and reset permissions.  But, I went to reconnect the E2k
mailbox and although it was on the list, it did not have a red X and I
did not have the option to reconnect.  It had been several hours since
the user deletion, but I went ahead and synchronized our DCs and updated
RUS.  Even after another hour there were no changes.  I guessed that it
was not being "permanently" deleted because the backup hadn't occurred
yet.  Sure enough, the next day I had the reconnect option available.

I checked the MS support site, but couldn't find this as a known
issue--anyone have a link?  How do others have this option configured? I
think with our other retentions we would be safe to turn this off. And,
what safety net does this really give me if I can't recover before the
backup?

Thanks,
Bonnie Miller
