Syed,
Thanks for all the EV Tips!
Last time I created an EmployeeTerminationPolicy the goal was to completely remove the user from Exchange. One of the common occurrences is the practice of disabling/deleting the user's AD account. I recommend modify this procedure to include running the EV Archiving on the mailbox BEFORE it is disabled\deleted.
I've also compiled a list of message classes to verify that all content is archived. I use this list for full PST migration as well.
