How to Schedule Mailbox Manager to Run Recipient Policies

  • Article

 

After a mailbox recipient policy has been created and configured, Mailbox Manager needs to be scheduled. If you do not schedule Mailbox Manager to run, your configurations will not take effect and the mailbox recipient policy will never be applied.

Before You Begin

It is important to note that Mailbox Manager only works on local mailboxes. You cannot configure Mailbox Manager on one server to process mailboxes on a different server.

Procedure

To schedule Mailbox Manager to run recipient policies

  1. Open Exchange System Manager and locate the server that is hosting the mailbox on which you want to run recipient policies.

  2. Right-click the mailbox server and then click Properties.

  3. On the Mailbox Management tab, in the Start mailbox management process drop-down list, select when you want all mailbox recipient policies to run on the server.

  4. To create a custom schedule, select Use custom schedule, and then click Customize. Click to select the times of day and days of the week you want Mailbox Manager to run. And then click OK.
