Explanation:
Managed Folder Assistant
The Managed Folder Assistant is a process that runs on Mailbox servers and applies managed folder
mailbox policies to mailboxes located on that server. The assistant retrieves the list of managed
folders associated with a policy, provisions managed folders in mailboxes, and processes items in
those folders. Items for which retention is enabled are stamped with the retention age. The
retention action specified in applicable managed content settings is taken on items that have
reached their retention age.
In Exchange 2010 SP1, the Managed Folder Assistant 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 within a certain period of time (known as a work cycle). Additionally, at a specified interval
known as the work cycle checkpoint, the Managed Folder Assistant refreshes the list of mailboxes to
be processed. During the refresh, the assistant adds newly created or moved mailboxes to the
queue. It also reprioritizes existing mailboxes that haven’t been processed successfully for awhile
due to failures and moves them higher in the queue so they can be processed during the same work
cycle.
In Exchange 2010, the Managed Folder Assistant is a schedule-based assistant that’s scheduled to
run from 01:00 through 09:00 (1:00 A.M. through 9:00 A.M.) every day. You can modify the
assistant’s schedule to make sure there’s minimal user impact. You can also start and stop the
assistant manually by using the Exchange Management Shell. To learn more about scheduling the
assistant, see Configure the Managed Folder Assistant.
Note:
In Exchange 2010, the Managed Folder Assistant also applies retention policies for MRM. You can
apply either a retention policy or a managed folder mailbox policy to a mailbox. If you modify the
Managed Folder Assistant schedule, it impacts both MRM features.
