AUTO TASK IN OUTLOOK 2013 PLUS
But on the plus side, it gives you a good understanding of how archiving and retention policies work in Office 365. My opinion: that is a lot of work simply to have Tasks not auto-archive.
You can kick it off in PowerShell like this:
AUTO TASK IN OUTLOOK 2013 ARCHIVE
Note that the archive policy doesn’t seem to be applied until the archiving process next runs, which by default is every seven days. Go to Recipients, select the mailbox and click Edit, select Mailbox features, and change the Retention Policy. Only Default and Personal tags can include Archive policy.įinally, if you created a new policy rather than amending Default MRM Policy, you have to apply it to the mailbox. You can also add Retention tags that apply automatically to specific folders (the Default MRM policy has examples for Junk Email and Deleted Items) but note that these cannot affect the Archive policy, as they cannot contain the action “Move to Archive”. These let you override the default policy for specific folders, such as Inbox. It seems that Retention policies work better if they have a Default tag of some sort, so I suggest not omitting a Default tag altogether.Īn Archive policy that never archives anything is not much use, so you should also include some Personal Retention tags. You can either remove this and replace it with “Default never archive”, or create a new policy including “Default never archive”. The key tag in this instance is “Default 2 year move to archive”. A policy is defined by a collection of Retention tags. You can either amend this, or create a new policy. By default there is a single Default MRM policy. Therefore, we have to create a new Default Retention Tag which specifies Never archive: Why are we looking at Retention tags and not Archive tags? The reason, as far as I can make out, is that what Microsoft calls in some places the Archive policy is implemented as a Retention policy with Action “Move to Archive”. First, go to Compliance Management and select Retention tags. You can do this either through the Office 365 Exchange admin screens, or with PowerShell. What you have to do is to set a default archiving policy of “Never archive” and then override this for the folders that you do want to archive. It inherits the default archiving policy for the mailbox, which cannot be overridden. Nor can you use Policy tab that appears in Outlook (provided you have the right version) for most folders: However, you cannot right-click Tasks and choose “Personal never move to archive”. If you right-click a folder in Outlook Web App, after enabling online archiving, you will notice an Assign Policy option which refers to both Archive Policy and Retention Policy: Forget the folder properties though this is Enterprise stuff set by policy and there is no auto-archive tab: No problem, I thought, we’ll just set the Tasks folder not to auto-archive. That seems curious but the evidence from both this post and our experience is that Exchange will indeed archive a task, regardless of its due date, if it is older than the archive period. Nowhere does this post by Ross Smith at Microsoft refer to the task’s due date. You might not think that tasks are messages but in Exchange everything is a message, kind-of.
He is a financial adviser and as part of his workflow, he uses tasks with a due date set far into the future. I helped a contact set up Office 365 and encountered a curious problem.
