Ok maybe I'm asking the wrong question. Our 2007 Exchange Sever has rather large databases. Total we probably have a ½ a Terabyte in stores. Along with that we probably have 2 to 3 times that in PST files on a file server. We already have managed folders and policies that purge old email, however people that want to save their old emails before it is purged often move them into their PST files. We would like to get away from PST files altogether and import the current PST files into an archive box. These need to be accessible and searchable from Outlook if possible. We also would like to provide long term storage for existing emails once they get older than say 90 days. Plus, we have a need for searching/discovery. We are probably going to upgrade to Exchange 2010 soon. That is why I asked about the Retention Policies in Exchange 2010 offloading to another server.
Do you have any recommendations given our current situation? Thanks, Andy From: Michael B.

You mean for managed folders? You do it with New-ManageContentSettings and/or Set-ManagedContentSettigs. For example: Set-ManagedContentSettings -AddressForJournaling 'smithcons.local/Users/j-and-m' -JournalingEnabled $true -Identity 'Inbox-999' Regards, Michael B.

If you could point me to an article or whitepaper I would appreciate it. I can't seem to find anything but sending to a Personal Archive on another exchange server. Thanks, Andy From: Michael B.
