What you should know and consider before using MRM v2.0
This document should be read in full before deploying Messaging Records Management (MRM) v2.0 in
your organization. Please be aware that MRM v2.0 supports features that move or delete email within a
user mailbox. Any MRM related action can have a significant impact and should be done with extreme
caution.
If MRM v2.0 features are used improperly or in
error, the consequences may be disastrous.
Applying policies to thousands of existing mailboxes may have a negative impact to the servers
and, if there are end-user issues, excessive load on the Help Desk staff.
Large scale MRM changes can have additional peripheral impacts. As an example, moving items
between folders can force an update to the end user Offline Storage Table (OST) file held on
client machines which may cause excessive network saturation and impact other services.
There are five important things to remember when creating or modifying MRM policies:
1. MRM provides the option to permanently delete e-mail messages.
Using this option will delete e-mail and not allow any recovery of these items.
2. All policies should be piloted on a single user or small groups of users.
3. Modifications to existing policies will impact all users already assigned to the policy and should
be done with extreme caution.
4. The end-user experience for all policies should be tested and verified to be functioning as
expected before applying it across any large groups of users.
5. Microsoft will not perform restoration for any items deleted by a policy.

About Messaging Records Management v2.0
For business, legal, or regulatory reasons, you may have to retain e-mail messages sent to and from
users in your organization, or you may want to remove e-mail that you aren't required to retain.
Messaging Records Management (MRM) V2.0, the records management technology introduced in the
11.3 release of Microsoft Exchange Online, enables you to control how long to keep items in users'
mailboxes and define what action to take on items that have reached a certain age. Controls and actions
are set using retention tags (default policy tags, retention policy tags, and Personal tags) linked to a
retention policy which is applied to a mailbox as illustrated below.

MRM v2.0 in Exchange Online

About Retention Tags
Types of retention tags
Retention tags define and apply retention settings to messages and folders in a user's mailbox.
Retention tags specify how long a message is kept and the action taken when the message
reaches the specified retention age. When a message reaches its retention age, it's moved to the
user's archive mailbox or it's deleted. Retention tags are linked to a retention policy.
There are three types of retention tags:
1. Default Policy tag (DPT) – DPTs apply to untagged mailbox items in the entire mailbox.
Untagged items are mailbox items that don't already have a retention tag applied, either
by inheritance from the folder in which they're located or by the user via a personal tag.
2. Retention Policy tag (RPT) - RPTs apply retention settings to default folders such as the
Inbox, Deleted Items, and Sent Items. Mailbox items in a default folder that have an RPT
applied inherit the folder's tag. Users can't apply or change an RPT applied to a default
folder, but they can apply a different tag to the items in a default folder.
You can use the New-RetentionPolicyTag with the -Type All parameter to make
any RPT a DPT.
3. Personal tags – Personal tags are available to Outlook 2010 and Outlook Web App users
as part of their retention policy. Users can apply Personal tags to folders they create or to
individual items, even if those items already have a different tag applied. These tags are
applied by the end user to non-Default folders and to individual items.
Note: Administrators configure and apply DPTs & RPTs. Personal tags are configured by Administrators and applied by end-users.
Retention Actions
When you create a retention tag, you must select one of the following actions to specify which
retention action should apply to a mailbox item when it reaches its retention age:
MoveToDeletedItems
DeleteAndAllowRecovery
PermanentlyDelete
MarkAsPastRetentionLimit
MoveToDeletedItems
The MoveToDeletedItems action moves messages to the Deleted Items folder. This emulates
the behavior experienced by users when they delete a message.
Dedicated & ITAR-Support Plans
MRM v2.0 in Exchange Online
© 2011 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved. 7
Items in the Deleted Items folder can be moved back to the Inbox or any other mailbox folder.
Depending on the user's mailbox settings in Outlook or Outlook Web App, the Deleted Items
folder may be emptied when the user logs off Outlook Web App or closes Outlook. You can
also create an RPT for the Deleted Items folder to take the required action after a specified
period.
The action “MoveToDeletedItems” is NOT recommended. This moves deleted messages to the
Deleted Items folder – while this makes the item easier to recover, it may cause a tremendous
amount of client synchronization traffic. All of the messages are new to the Deleted Items
folder and must be synced as such when the end user has a synched profile (Outlook cache
mode).
DeleteAndAllowRecovery
The DeleteAndAllowRecovery action emulates the behavior when the Deleted Items folder is
emptied or the user hard deletes a message. When this happens, and deleted item retention is
configured for the user, messages move to the Recoverable Items folder.
The Recoverable Items folder (also known as the dumpster) provides the user another chance
to recover deleted messages. To do so, the user would access the Recover Deleted Items dialog
box in Outlook 2010 or Outlook Web App.
The action “DeleteAndAllowRecovery” is recommended. This deletes the message in place, but
allows the end user to use Recover Deleted Items to fetch the item if needed.
PermanentlyDelete
The PermanentlyDelete action permanently deletes a message. When this action is applied to a
message, the message is purged from the mailbox and not recoverable. This action is like a
deleted message being removed from the Recoverable Items folder. After this happens, the
user or administrator can no longer recover the message.
The action “PermanentlyDelete” is NOT recommended.
Note: All messages within the tag’s filter settings will be permanently deleted when using this option.
MarkAsPastRetentionLimit
The MarkAsPastRetentionLimit action marks a message as past the retention limit. Supported
Outlook clients (Outlook 2010 and Office Outlook 2007) use strikethrough text when displaying
messages that are past their retention limit. The strikethrough text will notify users that the
message is expired. As a result, they can take further action, such as deleting the message. This
action can help create awareness about the MRM functionality in your organization.

MSO provided Personal tag examples
Personal tags are available to Outlook 2010 and Outlook Web App (OWA) users as part of their
retention policy. Users can apply Personal tags to folders they create or to individual items, even
if those items already have a different tag applied.
Below are MSO provided Personal tags that end users may assign to their folders and messages.

Delete after 10 years Personal 3650 DeleteAndAllowRecovery
Note that Personal tags cannot be applied to the default Outlook folders e.g. the Inbox or Sent Items folders; however, Personal tags may be applied to messages within the default folders
Retention Policy Tags and Default Folders
Default folders such as Inbox, Deleted Items, and Sent Items each get a Retention Policy Tag
(RPT) applied as specified in the retention policy. Users cannot change the RPTs associated with
default folders. However, a user can apply a Personal tag to an item in a default folder causing
the item to have a different retention setting than the folder in which it resides. Similarly, a user
can also assign a Personal tag to a user-created folder, but a different Personal tag to an item in
that folder.
In each Exchange Online environment, Microsoft creates a set of policy tags and policies. Your
organization can use these objects “as is” or as examples to create your own tags and policies.
Only authorized administrators of your organizations IT staff are responsible for defining the
necessary Policy Tags (settings), Policies (collections of Policy Tags) and assigning the Policies to
mailboxes. Advantages of retention policies include:
The ability to apply them on a per folder basis
Not requiring a pre-defined folder structure

About Retention Policies
Retention policies use retention tags to apply retention settings to e-mail messages and folders.
Retention tags define an age limit that specifies how long items are retained and an action that
specifies what happens to items that reach the retention age limit. Retention tags are linked to a
retention policy which is then applied to a mailbox. Mailboxes that have a retention policy applied to
them are processed by the Managed Folder Assistant, a mailbox assistant that runs on a schedule
and provisions retention tags in mailboxes.
Policies that ship with Exchange
The following table lists the default retention tags linked to the Retention Policy that is included
with Exchange 2010 SP1. Microsoft Office 365 does not modify, remove, or support these tags.

Note: Archive policies are not applicable in Microsoft Exchange Online
because managed mailboxes are not enabled for Exchange native archiving.
MSO provided Retention Policy examples
Microsoft Exchange Online customers are provided three additional retention policies and tag
examples. You can use them as-is, modify them, or reference them as examples to create your
own policies.

About the Managed Folder Assistant
The Managed Folder Assistant (MFA) is a process that runs on Mailbox servers and applies retention
policies and tags e-mail items for retention action. With the release of Exchange Online 11.3, the
MFA is a throttle-based assistant.
Throttle-based assistants don't run on a schedule. Instead, they're configured to process all
mailboxes on a Mailbox server during each work cycle.
Additionally, at a specified interval known as the work cycle checkpoint, the MFA refreshes the list of
mailboxes to be processed. During the refresh, the assistant inserts newly created or moved
mailboxes into the queue.

MRM Self-Service Administration
To administer MRM, users must belong to the E2010-MSO Self Service - User MRM Management
Universal Security Group or the MSFT SS User MRM Management Universal Security Group. Only one of
these USGs will exist in your environment.
Working with tags
Viewing tags
Use the Get-RetentionPolicyTag cmdlet to view current retention policy tags.
[PS] C:\>Get-RetentionPolicyTag RunspaceId : 26279f3f-ef2f-459b-b63e-2b484e21ee5c IsPrimary : False MessageClassDisplayName : All Mailbox Content MessageClass : * Description : Managed Content Settings RetentionEnabled : True RetentionAction : DeleteAndAllowRecovery AgeLimitForRetention : 30.00:00:00 TriggerForRetention : WhenDelivered MessageFormatForJournaling : UseTnef JournalingEnabled : False Type : DeletedItems SystemTag : False LocalizedRetentionPolicyTagName : {} Comment : Deleted Items are purged in 30 days Name : Tag-FIN-DeletedItems Identity : Tag-FIN-DeletedItems
Creating a Default Policy tag
The example below creates a DPT named Finance-Default. When applied to a mailbox as part of a
retention policy, the tag permanently deletes all items without a retention tag within 365 days.
Items of a particular message class such as Voicemail, for which a default tag (a retention tag of
type All) exists, aren't impacted. The IsPrimary parameter is used to define this tag as a primary
tag. Only one retention tag per retention policy can be set as the primary tag; this is done by
setting the IsPrimary parameter to $true.
New-RetentionPolicyTag "Finance-Default" -Type All -RetentionEnabled $true -AgeLimitForRetention 365 -RetentionAction PermanentlyDelete -IsPrimary $true
Like the previous example, the following example creates a DPT named Finance-Default.
However, this example uses the MarkAsPastRetentionLimit value for the RetentionAction
parameter. When applied to a mailbox as part of a retention policy; the tag marks all items
without a retention tag within 365 days as past the retention limit. Supported Outlook clients
(Outlook 2010 and Office Outlook 2007) use strikethrough text when displaying messages that
are past their retention limit.
New-RetentionPolicyTag "Finance-Default" -Type All -RetentionEnabled $true -AgeLimitForRetention 365 -RetentionAction MarkAsPastRetentionLimit -IsPrimary $true
Dedicated & ITAR-Support Plans
MRM v2.0 in Exchange Online
© 2011 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved. 13
Creating a Retention Policy tag
The example below creates a RPT named Finance-DeletedItems for the Deleted Items default
folder. When applied to a mailbox as a part of a retention policy, the tag deletes items of all
types in the Deleted Items folder in 30 days and allows recovery.
New-RetentionPolicyTag "Finance-DeletedItems" -Type DeletedItems -RetentionEnabled $true -AgeLimitForRetention 30 -RetentionAction DeleteAndAllowRecovery
Creating a Personal tag
The example below creates a Personal tag named Business Critical. When applied to mailbox
items as part of a retention policy, the items are deleted in approximately 7 years (2556 days).
New-RetentionPolicyTag "Business Critical" -Type Personal -Comment "Use this tag for all business critical mail" -RetentionEnabled $true -AgeLimitForRetention 2556 -RetentionAction DeleteAndAllowRecovery
Working with Retention Policies
You can use retention policies to group one or more retention tags and apply them to mailboxes.
A mailbox can't have more than one retention policy. Retention tags can be linked to or unlinked
from a retention policy at any time, and the changes automatically take effect for all mailboxes
that have the policy applied.
A retention policy can have the following retention tags:
One or more RPTs for supported default folders
o You can't link more than one RPT for a particular default folder (such as
Deleted Items) to the same retention policy.
One DPT with the Delete and Allow Recovery or Permanently Delete actions
One DPT for voice mail messages in Exchange Online
Any number of personal tags
Although you can add any number of Personal tags to a retention policy, having many Personal
tags with different retention settings can confuse users. We recommend linking no more than 10
Personal tags to a retention policy.
Moving Items between Folders
A mailbox item moved from one folder to another inherits any tags applied to the folder to which
it's moved. For example, if an item such as an e-mail is moved to a folder that doesn't have a tag
assigned, the DPT is applied to it. If the item has a tag explicitly assigned to it, the tag always
takes precedence over any folder-level tags or the default tag.
View existing Retention Policies
Use the Get-RetentionPolicy cmdlet to view all existing Retention Policies.
Dedicated & ITAR-Support Plans
MRM v2.0 in Exchange Online
© 2011 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved. 14
Creating a New Retention Policy
Use the New-RetentionPolicy cmdlet to create a new retention policy. The example below creates
a new Retention Policy named Finance Dept. and assigns the Finance-DeletedItems, Finance-
Default, and Business Critical retention policy tags to it.
New-RetentionPolicy "Finance Dept." -RetentionPolicyTagLinks "Finance-DeletedItems", "Finance-Default","Business Critical"
Apply a Retention Policy to a mailbox
The example below applies the MSFT Primary Retention policy to the mailbox Jdoe.
Set-Mailbox Jdoe -RetentionPolicy "MSFT Primary Retention"
Remove a Retention Policy from a mailbox
The example below removes a retention policy from the mailbox Jdoe.
Set-Mailbox Jdoe -RemoveManagedFolderAndPolicy
Disabling a Retention tag
It’s possible to disable retention for a specific retention tag. If a retention tag is disabled, the
Managed Folder Assistant ignores items that have the tag applied. Any items that have a
disabled retention tag never expire. Because these items are still considered tagged items, the
DPT doesn't apply to them. For example, if you want to troubleshoot retention tag settings, you
can temporarily disable a retention tag to stop the Managed Folder Assistant from processing
messages with that tag.
Use the Set-RetentionPolicyTag cmdlet with the -RetentionEnabled parameter set to a value of
$false to disable a retention policy tag. The example below disables the Finance-Default retention
policy tag.
Set-RetentionPolicyTag "Finance-Default" -RetentionEnabled $false
Retention Hold
When users are temporarily away from work and don't have access to their e-mail, retention settings
can be applied to new messages before they return to work or access their e-mail. Depending on the
retention policy, messages may be deleted. You can temporarily suspend retention policies from
processing a mailbox for a specified period by placing the mailbox on retention hold.
Set-Mailbox Jdoe -RetentionHoldEnabled $true
When you place a mailbox on retention hold, you can also specify a retention comment that informs
the mailbox user (or another user authorized to access the mailbox) about the retention hold,
including when the hold is scheduled to begin and end. Retention comments are displayed in
supported Outlook clients. You can also localize the retention hold comment in the user's preferred
language.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. What happens to my old MRM policy?
Nothing happens automatically to your MRM policy. Changes to existing policies with MRM 1.0
can be made via CR. Your IT administrators will be able to control all aspects of MRM 2.0 Policies
or Tags.
2. How do I move someone from the old MRM 1.0 policy to the new MRM 2.0 policy?
First remove users from the MRM 1.0 policy using the command:
Set-Mailbox <alias> -RemoveManagedFolderAndPolicy
Then use the commands outlined in the document to add the users to the new MRM 2.0 policy.
3. Can a mailbox be member of more than one MRM policy?
No.
4. Can I create an MRM 2.0 policy that matches my old MRM 1.0 policy?
Yes, the expiration functionality can be matched between MRM 1.0 and MRM 2.0.
5. What happens to custom Managed Folders and Managed Folder items when someone is moved
to MRM 2.0?
Managed Folders no longer exist in the MRM 2.0 architecture. Custom Managed Folders created
in MRM 1.0 become standard and will remain in the user mailbox unless the user deletes them.
Items will stay in the folder unless a MRM 2.0 tag is applied to the folder.
6. With MRM 2.0 can I deploy a custom Managed Folder?
No.
7. Can MRM 2.0 incorporate workflows to move content to folders other than the deleted items
within the mailbox?
No.
Dedicated & ITAR-Support Plans
MRM v2.0 in Exchange Online

8. How can a user identify items that are going to expire?
A user can create a search folder or search expired tags. There is also functionality in Outlook
2010 and Outlook Web App (OWA) that automatically displays content expiring in the next thirty
days.
9. Can I assign an MRM 2.0 retention tag to an MRM 1.0 custom Managed Folder previously
created by MRM 1.0?
Yes, DPTs or Personal tags can be applied to previously created MRM 1.0 custom Managed
Folders. However, RPTs cannot be applied to Managed Folders because RPTs can only be applied
to Default Outlook folders e.g. Inbox, Send Items or Deleted Items.
10. Can I create a new Managed Folder under MRM 2.0?
No. Managed Folders no longer exist in the MRM 2.0 architecture.
11. What happens to a user who is on MRM 1.0 retention hold (i.e. RetentionHoldEnabled set to
$True) when they are moved to MRM 2.0?
Nothing happens, the mailbox will still have RetentionHoldEnabled set to $True.
12. If I don’t want to use MRM 2.0, can I create new MRM 1.0 policies?
No. All new policy creation will need to be done in MRM 2.0.
13. Can I update my existing MRM 1.0 policy?
Yes, this must be done via CR.
14. Does Office 365 support changing my MRM 1.0 policy to a MRM 2.0 policy?
No.
15. Can I control my MRM 1.0 policy with Remote PS?
No, all changes must be done through a CR.

16. Can I use ECP to control my MRM 1.0 or MRM 2.0 policy?
No.
17. Do I have to use Outlook 2010 to use MRM 2.0?
No, however Personal Tags will not be viewable.
18. Can I use OWA to take advantage of Personal tags in MRM 2.0?
Yes.
19. What happens to DPTs. RPTs and Personal Tags if I change from one 2.0 policy to another?
If the specific DPT or RPT (Administrator enforced) or Personal Tag (end user optional) is not
linked to the new MRM 2.0 policy, it will no longer be available. Items however previously tagged
with these retention values will still expire based on their previously tagged expiration date (as
long as the Tag still exists in the Organization). This behavior can be overridden by applying a
new DPT or Personal tag retention value to the items.
20. How do I completely remove a user from an MRM 1.0 policy or an MRM 2.0 policy?
Use the command below to remove users from a MRM 1.0 or a 2.0 policy.
Set-Mailbox <alias> -RemoveManagedFolderAndPolicy
