I have a client who needs to begin a regular purging of information from their Exchange Servers in order to comply with their new retention policies. Basically, they want to purge everything from all folders (system created and the many, many, user created folders) after xx number of days, with the exception of calendar, contacts, tasks and a few user defined folders (and their subfolders).
Can mailbox manager policies do this? I've used them before for custom folders, and quite frankly it was spotty. My thought is to set a single policy for all users (this is a 25 mailbox organization) and set the proper settings for each system defined folder, add the custom folders and settings, then enable the all other folder setting. Should these settings flow properly? Also, I recognize that Exchange 2007 has vastly improved the abilities of this functionality and can certainly use this reason as a catalyst to upgrade, but I don't want to lie :). So if Exchange 2003 can do it, but Exchange 2007 can do it that much better, I need to be able to portray that. Any help is, as always, much appreciated.
