Does Exchange Server Archiver do Compliance? Can ALL messages be saved even if they are deleted?
Most compliance solutions create a data management nightmare by making duplicate copies of emails in the Exchange stores. Exchange Server Archiver not only solves data management issues but it also allows you to save all messages even if they are deleted. To do this you can set up a journaling mailbox in Exchange, and archive that with an ‘Always’ condition (i.e. everything gets archived every time the schedule runs). Other mailboxes could have their conditions set to something more reasonable (messages older than a month, for example). You would need to occasionally clear out the small palceholder messages the archiver would leave in the journaling mailbox. That way, all messages will get archived from the journaling mailbox for your reference, and then in due course, they’ll get archived from users’ mailboxes as well. Since we single instance messages with the same content, the storage overhead of effectively archiving everything twice in the end shouldn’t be too large. Find out how
