Running Exchange 2007 and have setup MRM to mimic what we were doing with the the Mailbox Management in Exchange 2003. I would like to have the retention period based on "When item is moved to the folder". The issue I'm finding is that this setting appears to be based on the modified date of the message and when the ManagedFolderAssistant runs the modified date on all messages gets updated. Has anyone else experienced this and anyone know of a way around it. Does not seem to me that MRM should change the modified date of a message unless it actually does something with the message. Thank you,Dave

Microsoft says that is based on the "move date"... http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb430780.aspx Now my question is: when a message is deleted and goes into DELETED ITEMS folder, is the "move date" property set, or only "delete date" is set? This could explain why my policy to permanenty delete items on Deleted Items folder after 15 days (from the date the message are deleted) does not work

Thank you,DaveTrying to open this thread again and get some insight from Microsoft or someone who has worked extensively with the ManagedFolderAssistant process. The company I am working with is using MRM based upon the modified date. The day the policy was put into place, it modified most (not all) items in all users mailboxes with the policy applied. This presents a huge problem. If a retention policy is put into place for say 365 days, it would take 365 days from when the policy was applied to even delete those messages. I do NOT think the ManagedFolderAssistant should be touching the modified dates of individual items.Thoughts? There is obviously no roll back for this and restores of items wouldn't even work because that too would change the modified date.Is this a bug in Exchange 2007?Thanks for any follow-up.-Will
