We recently loaded up a brand new Commserv. Upon configuring On-Prem Exchange Mailbox backups there was a cleanup job policy created that was configured and enabled. On first run after the first mailbox run (Close to 4700 mailboxes) the job deleted about 1.8 million e-mails from exchange based on the settings of the job which appears to have picked1 day past our retention date to clean up everything. Our retention date is 90 days so the job used 91 days. Has anybody else even seen where the cleanup job automatically enables when an exchange plan is created and uses defaults?
We are planning to migrate from VMware to Hyper-V platform. In VMware we have the option to choose transport mode on the sub-client level but in Hyper-V i don’t see this option. We have approx. 1000 VMs to backup after migration. In VMware we have kept dedicated VSA proxies to associate with particular ESX host for Hot Add backups. Could we do similar set up for Hyper-V, instead of using Hyper-V node as a proxy use bunch of VMs acting as VSA proxy which will be associated to particular Hyper-V node for Hot Add backups.

We have an effort to migrate DDB partition to another local volume on the MA for 200+ servers. Doing this via GUI 200 times will not be fun. I’ve looked but haven’t found a command that I can leverage to automate this task. Can’t imagine there being no cli command or qscript for this.
