Tool needed to determine who has customized inbox folder in Exchange Server

Asked By Tuesday mosley 0 points N/A Posted on - 01/14/2012

We would like to migrate from Exchange 2003 to Exchange 2007. I know the retention policy works different in these two versions. It is to be required and reminded to those who are having custom folders in the inbox, so we can inform them to move the custom folders one level up to work the retention policy properly.

Any utility or tool available to determine who are having custom folders? Or can the Exchange Management Shell 2007 be used for this? I need valuable assistance to get out this problem.

Thanks in advance.

Tool needed to determine who has customized inbox folder in Exchange Server

instead of using a specific utility to determine which has the custom folders or not, use the automated email tool.

• The first thing to do is to notify all your clients or customers that you are migrating the server.
• The email must include all the necessary details including the new server location, backup place and all other things.
• Now create a macro or automated email generation code that would send email to every person in your server.
• After it is created, specify all the email address of the people and it will send them the alert message that you want to convey.
• There is another thing you can do. Notify them to save their custom folders and move all other things to a temporary server just as a backup
