XADM: Individual Public Folder Age Limits Overridden
ID: Q170033
|
The information in this article applies to:
-
Microsoft Exchange Server, versions 4.0, 5.0, 5.5
SYMPTOMS
The age limit set for the "Age Limit for all folders on this Information
Store" property will override the "All Replicas" property of a specific
public folder. If there is an Age Limit for "This Replica," it works
correctly and is not overridden by the IS PF Age Limit.
MORE INFORMATION
This is by design. Age limits on public folders can be set in the following locations:
- General Tab of the property page of the folder itself. The property is
"Age Limit for Replica(s).
- The Age Limits property page of the Public Information Store object. The
property is "Age Limits for all folders on this Information Store."
- The Age Limits property page, select the folder in the scroll window,
then select modify. This will expose a window with properties for This
replica and for All replicas. Note, by setting all replicas on this page
is the same as point number 1.
The following is the order of priority:
- This Replica
- Age Limit for all folders on this Information Store
- All Replicas
The reasoning behind this order of priority is that both "This Replica" and
"Age limits for all folders on this Information Store" are controls that
affect one particular server. Having "All Replicas" override "Age limit for
all folders in this Information" impacts multiple servers and makes it more
difficult for administrators of those other servers to control their
servers.
