Prior to upgrading to Exchange 2013 before end of year, we are currently undergoing a thorough cleanout of our Exchange 2007 environment. Sadly, we had some users with well over 100K items in their deleted items, so you can only imagine what the rest of their mailboxes look like. While we implement proposed policies for Exchange, we need an online Exchange Archive (preferably free) to be as seemless as possible to the user, but something that can automatically move messages to the archive based on whatever threshold we set: 3 months after delivery, 6 months after delivery, or whatever. We would also plan to import any errant PSTs into this archive.
I found THIS article, but it only mentions a patch that we are well beyond. Is there anything in Exchange 2007 similar to the archive in 2010?
Thanks,
Nelson
