Custom properties example

This section provides an example custom filter for Exchange Server mailbox archiving. The example custom filter assigns a different retention category (180Days) to calendar items (Exchange message class, IPM.Appointment).

To implement the example custom filter

  1. Create the ruleset file, Default Filter Rules.xml.

    See Example ruleset file.

  2. Create the custom properties file, Custom Properties.xml.

    See Example custom properties file.

  3. Configure the registry settings to enable Exchange Server mailbox filtering.

    See Configuring registry settings for Exchange Server user mailbox filtering.

  4. Set Dtrace logging for the archiving task (set ArchiveTask v).

    For instructions on how to configure Dtrace logging, see the Utilities guide.

  5. Test the custom filter.

    See Testing the example custom filter.

  6. Check the Dtrace log entries.

    See Dtrace log entries for the example custom filter.
