how to delete old shortcuts that come across in a mailbox move

[EVMan]

Hi

We will be moving mailboxes to a new exchange 2010 / EV9 site (from an existing EV9 site).

As we are taking shortcuts with us what is the best way of having no old shortcuts pointing to the old EVSite once its over the other side?

Is it to delete shortcuts after 0 days first (prior to the mailbox moves).

Or is there a trick of telling the new EV site to remove these stale shortcuts? Delete orphaned shortcuts enabled on the new site doesn't seem to touch these shortcuts. Which leaves the 'delete shortcuts in folders after o days option'...

To do this on the new site once the mailbox has been moved and new archive enabled this option should remove those stale shortcuts?

If not i think we'll purge them on the source prior to the move. Not sure which is tidiest option?

thanks

definitely do it before you move the archives via a mix of orphaned shortcut deletion and shortcut expiry

Are you saying you want absolutely 0 shortcuts what so ever though?
Your best bet may actually be Exchange Mailbox Manager in Exchange 2003 (2007 and 2010 you have to use managed folders which isnt viable for the majority of companies) and have EMM delete any of the IPM.Note.EnterpriseVault* message classes

Hi

The EMM delete message class sounds like a great option as this takes the strain off EV deleting them in the source site.

Any ideas how you do this in exchange 2003? I have created a new Mailbox Manager policy but can't see how to tell it to delete message classes.

thanks
