XADM: Override on Public Folder Age Limit Fails (810870)

MORE INFORMATION

There are three places where you can set age limits on a folder:

• Age Limit for All Replicas of a Public Folder - The Folder level
• Age Limit for a Specific Microsoft Exchange Public Folder Server - The Store level
• Age Limit for a Specific Replica - The Replica level (folder on a particular store)

The three age limits are applied in the following order:

• Age Limit for All Replicas of a Public Folder - Lowest priority
• Age Limit for a Specific Microsoft Exchange Public Folder Server -Medium priority
• Age Limit for a Specific Replica - Highest priority

Setting option 2 overrides option 1. Setting option 3 overrides options 1 and 2.

For example, the age limit that is set for the "Age Limit for all folders on this Information Store" property overrides the "All Replicas" property of a specific public folder. If there is an age limit for "This Replica", it works correctly and is not overridden by the IS PF Age Limit.

Age Limit for All Replicas of a Public Folder

This age limit applies to all replicas on which they are located, no matter which computer is running Exchange 2000 Server. This setting has the lowest priority.

To set the age limit:

1. Expand Administrative Groups, and then expand Your Administrative Group Name.
2. Expand Folders, and then expand Public Folders.
3. Right-click Your Public Folder Name, and then click Properties.
4. Click the Limits tab. Click to clear the Use Public Store defaults check box, and then type the number of days that you want to use in the Age limit for replicas (days) box.

Age Limit for a Specific Exchange 2000 Server Public Folder Server

This age limit applies to all replicas on the specific computer that is running Exchange 2000 Server. This setting has medium priority.

To set this age limit:

1. Expand Administrative Groups, and then expand Your Administrative Group Name.
2. Expand Servers, and then expand Your Server Name.
3. Expand Storage Group Name, right-click Public Folder Store, and then click Properties.
4. Click the Limits tab.
5. Click to select the Age limit for all folders in this store (days) check box, and then type the number of days that you want to use in the Age limits box.

Note This can also be configured in ESM under System Policies:

1. Expand Administrative Groups, and then expand Your Administrative Group Name.
2. Click System Policies.
   
   Note If you do not already have a System Policies folder, you must create one. To create a new System Policies folder:
   1. Right-click Your Administrative Group Name, point to New, and then click System Policy Container.
   2. Right-click the new System Policies folder, point to New, and then click Public store policy.
3. Right-click Public Store Policy, and then click Properties.

Age Limit for a Specific Replica

This age limit applies to a specific replica on a specific computer that is running Exchange 2000 Server. This setting has the highest priority.

To set this age limit:

1. Expand Administrative Groups, and then expand Your Administrative Group Name.
2. Expand Servers, and then expand Your Server Name.
3. Expand Storage Group Name, and then click Public Folder Instances.
4. Right-click Public Folder Name, and then click Replica Properties.
