View products that this article applies to.

Symptoms

This article introduces a new option that adds a PermanentlyDeleteDisabled parameter to the Set-OrganizationConfig cmdlet. The parameter enables users to disable the PermanentlyDelete retention action that permanently deletes message items in a Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 organization.

Note The PermanentlyDelete retention action permanently deletes a message from a mailbox. A message that is permanently deleted cannot be recovered by using the Recoverable Items folder. Additionally, permanently deleted messages are not returned by a Discovery search, unless litigation hold or single item recovery is enabled for the mailbox.

Resolution

To resolve this issue, install the following update rollup:
2746164 Description of Update Rollup 6 for Exchange Server 2010 Service Pack 2
After you apply the update rollup, you can run the following command to disable the PermanentlyDelete retention action in an Exchange Server 2010 organization:
Set-OrganizationConfig [-Identity OrganizationName] -PermanentlyDeleteDisabled $true

Notes
  • By default, the PermanentlyDeleteDisabled parameter is set to false. Therefore, the PermanentlyDelete retention action is enabled.
  • If the PermanentlyDeleteDisabled parameter is set to true, the PermanentlyDelete retention action is disabled. This setting does not change any other retention policies. This setting only blocks the permanent delete action from being executed.
