How to Create a Managed Folder Mailbox Policy

Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 will reach end of support on April 11, 2017. To stay supported, you will need to upgrade. For more information, see Resources to help you upgrade your Office 2007 servers and clients.

Applies to: Exchange Server 2007, Exchange Server 2007 SP1, Exchange Server 2007 SP2, Exchange Server 2007 SP3

This topic explains how to use the Exchange Management Console or the Exchange Management Shell to create a managed folder mailbox policy and how to link managed folders to the new policy. Managed folder mailbox policies are used to create logical groupings of managed folders. When a managed folder mailbox policy is applied to users' mailboxes, all the managed folders that are linked to the policy are deployed in a single operation.

You can create as many managed folder mailbox policies as you want. You can also add as many managed folders to each policy as you want, but each user mailbox can have only one managed folder mailbox policy.

Before You Begin

To perform this procedure, the account you use must be delegated the following:

• Exchange Organization Administrators role
