Exchange 2010 - Native Single Item Recovery

For all my NetApp customers who wonder why they need to buy SnapManager for Exchange here's the bill-n-ben...

PowerShell you'll need.
Set-Mailbox -Identity "user.name" -SingleItemRecoveryEnabled $True -RetainDeletedItemsFor 200

What you're going to get.
The user portion of the dumpster will keep for 14 days and then there will be an extra 200 days worth of deleted mail and versioning to changes in those messages availabe for recovery. The user can't do it so it's a helpdesk call just like it always was.

Benefits.
Well, not many really. You're getting the stuff in the one place but that's downsided by the bloat in primary storage. Yo have to manage protection or at least additional storage for that information.

Better?
SnapManager for Exchange, SnapVault. You can keep your litigation hold stores away (remember that Exchange 2010 moves the dumpster items as well during mailbox moves) from all the heavy data protection infrastructure. It's far easier on the eye.
