Report to show archiving policies per folder for mailboxes

Hi Guys,

Customer has EV 9.02 for Exchange mailbox archiving with an age-based policy set to archive items older than x months.  However they let users customize this per folder via EV properties tab\change button.  So some folders may have a different age-based policy than the overall mailbox.

They want to find out what kinds of policies are being used in general by users.

Does anyone know if there is a way to find out, using reporting or maybe looking in sql?

Thanks,

    you can't unfortunately, because the settings are set in the mailbox folders themselves and not within SQL.
    So when EV scans the mailbox, it looks for file called IPM.EnterpriseVault.Filter, and if it exists, it uses that filter to determine things like age of items, retention category etc 

    You would have to script something through MAPI or Redemption to trawl the folders looking for the filter etc
