Email retention policy issues
Posted by Klutzy_Industry_8619@reddit | sysadmin | View on Reddit | 1 comments
Hey guys,
I'm trying to assign retention policies to user mailboxes.
Ex: Archive Mailbox after 1 year, delete archive after 3 years.
Archive mailbox after 1 year - Tag is set up as a Default Policy Tag assigned to all mailbox items.
Delete Archive after 3 years - Tag is set up as a Retention Policy Tag assigned to Archive mailbox.
The retention policies and tags are created, the tags are assigned to policies and the policy is assigned to a user mailbox.
Mailbox archiving is turned on.
Ran:
Start-ManagedFolderAssistant -Identity "useremail"
The command runs fine, it's been over 10 days no changes to the mailbox. The inbox still has emails older than 3 years and Archive is empty.
Get-Mailbox -Identity "useremail" | Select-Object DisplayName,RetentionPolicy
Shows that the Retention policies are applied to the user mailbox.
Any tips to force enforce this?

Just starting with basics- does the target mailbox have an Archive mailbox enabled?
