Hi All,
We are using EV 9.0.2/ Exchange 2010
We want to delete few users’ archived items older than 6 month from EV server. I have created the new retention category i.e. 6 month and assign that in the provisioning group. Earlier that users belongs to retention category i.e. retain items forever
My question is can storage expiry able to delete 6 months old emails which has different retention category earlier?
What is the best method to delete user’s archived emails older than 6 month?
Thanks

Hello,
Assigning the new retentionpolicy means that items archived as of that time get the retention of 6 months.
Your old items still have the retention 'forever', and will therefor never expire.
What you might want to do is to change the old retention policy. Instead of having that as 'forever', change that retention policy to be 6 months. I believe that is sufficient.
If you have using EV for long time, it might be wise to do it in steps. I.e., do not set the old retention category to 6 months, but set it to 6 years. Make sure you have the expiry scheduled, do a run now in report mode, see what will get deleted, and if that is as expected.
