Use the New-ManagedFolder cmdlet to create a new managed folder in the Active Directory directory service. Then, to use the new managed folder for messaging records management:
-
Apply managed content settings to the folder.
-
Link the folder to a managed folder mailbox policy.
-
Link the mailbox policy to a user's mailbox.
-
Run the managed folder assistant, which places the new managed folder in the user's mailbox with the settings that you have specified.
-

By default, managed custom folders are created with this cmdlet. However, you can also create additional copies of managed default folders by using the DefaultFolderType parameter to specify which type of default folder to create (for example, an additional Inbox folder). When you create multiple copies of a managed default folder, you can assign different content settings to each one. For example, you could have two Inbox folders, one named InboxSixMonths and another named InboxOneYear. Then, you could assign a retention time of six months to the first folder and one year to the second folder with the New-ManagedContentSettings cmdlet (or by using the New Managed Content Settings wizard in the Exchange Management Console). You must assign a unique name (using the Name parameter) to each of the managed default folders that you create. Users, however, always see the unaltered default folder name. In the example, whether users are assigned an InboxSixMonths folder or an InboxOneYear folder, the Inbox that they see in their mailbox will be labeled Inbox. Although the folder names that users see in their mailboxes can be reassigned for managed custom folders (using the Set-ManagedFolder command FolderName parameter), the folder names seen by users for managed default folders cannot be changed.
