UNC307 - What's New in Archiving, Retention, and Discovery in Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 SP1

As the volume of email continues to increase, you are likely seeking new and better ways to preserve and discover this critical email data to meet an array of IT governance, legal, and compliance requirements. To help address these needs, Exchange Server 2010 introduced integrated archiving and discovery capabilities. This session offers a technical overview and demonstration of the features and functionality delivered in Exchange 2010 and updates coming in SP1. [TENA10]

Key points:
What’s new with sp1
1. Personal archive:
- Archive on separate db or in the cloud (if in the cloud, just point out the smtp address for it)
- Pst import into archive database
- Outlooks 2007 support for archive database
- Ews support for personal archive
- Admin delegation for personal archive
2. Move and delete policies (mailbox management)
- Managed through emc
- Ews support for archive
- Support for tasks calendar and voicemail
3. Hold policy:
- Managed through ecp
- Hold policy trumps over search and destroy admin tasks (in order to delete message that’s on hold, you would have to unhold)
4. Multi mailbox search:
- Search preview
- De duplication after discover
- Search and destroy
- Annotations
- Cmdlet audit
- Non-owner auditing

Other key points
1. Archive DB is just like any other Mail DB
- You can move archive mailbox to any other db using command lets
- Index for archive mailbox will exist on the new db

2. Pst finder available from ms
3. We have ability to manage retention on archive database.
4. Users can log in add additional retention policy for mailbox management
5. Automatically move content form the primary db to archive dumpster
6. Legal hold
- Doesn’t work on a group level from gui but can be scripted
- All activities done on /within mailbox is audited, even putting the user off hold and back on.
- One a user is on hold, nothing is deleted, and changes are tracked on the messages
7. Litigation search – search isn’t as sophistigated as source one.
- And, or, not queries works, AQS support, regular expressions work,
- Search by date, recipient & sender fields. You can’t specify attachment size and type. You can put extension type in the expression.

8. You can set retention policy per folder level
9. Default dumpster size is 28 days
- You can configure this, you can have separate policy from primary and archive
- The dumpster has its own size and quota, you have mechanism
10. When user gets moved from db another, dumpster follows
- The dumpster today is a indexed it’s a folder
11. “two prong authentication” Two person authorization for certain tasks (brought up, not delivered yet)
12. Demo of hold :
- Users can’t delete, the message. As long as the message is part of the store, you can’t delete it
- And, or, not queries works, AQS support, regular expressions work,
- New in sp1 is estimate of search time
- New in sp1 is dedup of search results
- Folder in the discovery search will have a folder created for the search, and also shows folder structure of where the message is

Questions:
1. When you have a retention policy of 1 year on the primary mailbox with delete nothing the dumpster, does mailbox management move the items in the dumpster older than 1 year to the dumpster on the archive mailbox database, assuming that I have the same policy on the archive database?
- Will the current storage calculator estimate how much storage I will need If I want to keep deleted items for 10 years for archive database?
2. How do you audit dumpster size on exchange 2007 db? Is there a way to breakdown disk utilization for deleted mailbox vs. deleted emails?
