Setting Up Public Folder Store Policies

  • Article

 

You can create policies to manage public folder stores in the same way that you create other system policies. You can set the following options using policies:

  • General tab

    • Clients support S/MIME signatures

    • Display plain text messages in a fixed-size font

  • Database tab

    • Maintenance interval

  • Replication tab

    • Replication interval

    • Replication interval for always (minutes)

    • Replication message size limit (KB)

  • Limits tab

    • Issue warning at (KB)

    • Prevent send at (KB)

    • Prevent send and receive at (KB)

    • Warning message interval

    • Keep deleted items for (days)

    • Do not permanently delete items until the store has been backed up

    • Age limit for all folders in this store (days)

  • Full-Text Indexing tab

    • Update interval

For detailed steps about how to apply a policy to one or more public folder stores, see "How to Apply a Policy to One or More Public Folder Stores".

After you have applied the policy, the options that the policy controls are no longer available in the public folder store's Properties dialog box. For a list of all the policies that are applied to a particular public folder store, view that store's Policies tab.

Note

You can only apply a policy to a store if you have permissions to modify that store. If you are using a distributed administration model, with multiple administrative groups that have separate administrators, each administrator will be able to interact only with the stores in that administrator's own administrative group.
