EVPM NOT WORKING

[cguinn75]

  this is my evpm script i'm trying to test on deleted items, everytime i run it nothing seems to be happening is there something I'm missing?  Tried it with sentitems as well, I'm just trying to archive all deleteditems for test... I tried with distingueshedname= all and that didn't work as well..

Thanks,

If what you are trying to achieve is to archive the deleted items folder then why are you trying with EVPM?
This can be switched on in the Exchange Policy in the Archiving General section.

I am just testing, I also tested it out on sentitems folder and it didn't work as well.  I just added the deleted items in the last run I tried to rule out the sentitem folder but they both didn't work so i think i am missing something.

Still didn't work , thanks for the hotfix....  I'm wondering since i have the  mailbox policy to not archive deleted item, is that overriding anything that I'm manually trying to archive through evpm...If i turn it on the archiving task will run and archive it..

[John_Chisari · Accepted solution]

 Yes you have to change the mailbox policy to archive from the deleted items folder - otherwise it will just skip it.

Just a note - all that EVPM script does it change the archive settings for the Deleted Items folder.  You then have to run the Archive Task for the archiving to take place.

Through testing I was able to  change retention category on deleted items but you must set the archive deleted items set to on, otherwise it will not archive anything, I guess the evpm does not override that setting.
