Applying the retention plans to the target users

After you have created a retention plan, you can apply it to one or more archives. The Administration Console provides many different ways to do this, as you can associate a retention plan with any of the following features:

  • An Exchange, Domino, or IMAP provisioning group

  • An Exchange journal archive, Domino journal archive, or SMTP archive

  • An FSA volume or folder policy

  • A public folder target

  • A SharePoint target or site collection

  • Mailboxes that you manually enable for archiving by running the Enable Mailbox wizard

The documentation for each of these features describes how to associate a retention plan with it. Table: How to apply a retention plan to an archiving target lists the more common archiving targets and the various methods for associating a retention plan with them.

Table: How to apply a retention plan to an archiving target

Archiving target

To apply a retention plan, use

Exchange mailbox

Exchange Provisioning Group, Enable Mailbox wizard, or PowerShell cmdlet Set-EVArchive.

Domino mailbox

Domino Provisioning Group, Enable Mailbox wizard, or PowerShell cmdlet Set-EVArchive.

Internet Mail

Client Access Provisioning Group, or PowerShell cmdlet Set-EVArchive.

SMTP

The property settings of an SMTP archive, or PowerShell cmdlet Set-EVArchive.

After you have assigned the retention plan, you must run the appropriate provisioning task or archiving task to apply it to the target archives. For instance, you must run the Exchange Provisioning task in the case of an Exchange provisioning group.

About retention plans and age-based archiving

The retention settings that are in force when Enterprise Vault archives a user's items determine the retention category and associated record type that Enterprise Vault assigns to these items. This may be a consideration if you have chosen to archive items when they are older than a certain age, instead of archiving them immediately.

For example, suppose that a user receives an item that will only be archived after several months have passed. Suppose also that you change the retention plan that is applied to the user in the period between the user receiving the item and Enterprise Vault archiving it. When Enterprise Vault archives the item, it assigns the retention category and associated record type that you have specified in the new retention plan rather than the old one.
