How to Set Mailbox Management Reporting Options

Exchange Mailbox Manager policies set age and size limits for messages. After you create and configure a recipient policy for Mailbox Manager settings, you must schedule when the Mailbox Manager process runs on a server and whether the process generates a report. When you schedule Mailbox Manager, you can designate a mailbox that receives Mailbox Manager reports. This procedure outlines how to set mailbox management reporting options.

Before You Begin

Mailbox Manager works only on local mailboxes on an individual Exchange server. You cannot configure Mailbox Manager on one server to process mailboxes on a different server.

Procedure

To set reporting options

1. In Exchange System Manager, right-click an Exchange server, and then select Properties.

2. On the Mailbox Management tab, in the Reporting drop-down list, select the type of report that you want created whenever mailboxes are processed:

   • A summary report that contains basic information, including the total size of all messages that Mailbox Manager moved or deleted.

   • A detailed report that includes the specific policies that Mailbox Manager ran, the specific mailboxes that were processed, and the specific folders in each mailbox that were processed every time that Mailbox Manager runs.

3. In the Administrator text box, click Browse, and then select a mailbox in your organization to receive these reports.
