XADM: Mailbox Manager Run Order in Exchange 2000 (329323)

SUMMARY

In Exchange 2000, Mailbox Manager does not process mailboxes in the priority order that the mailbox management recipient policies are applied. When Mailbox Manager runs, it iterates through all the private stores on the server, and then iterates through all the mailboxes in each store.

Each mailbox is cleaned based on the recipient policy that is applied to the user object for that mailbox in the Active Directory directory service by the Recipient Update Service. The order or priority of the recipient policies does not affect the order that the mailboxes are processed.
