Symptoms
When you run a cmdlet in Exchange Management Shell to apply a retention policy that moves email messages from a user’s mailbox to the user’s archive mailbox in a Microsoft Exchange Server 2013 environment, the retention policy does not work. For example, you create a retention policy by running one of the following cmdlets:
-
New-RetentionPolicyTag "ArchiveTag" -Type All -RetentionEnabled $true -AgeLimitForRetention 90 -RetentionAction MoveToArchive
-
New-RetentionPolicy PolicyName -RetentionPolicyTagLinks "ArchiveTag"
-
Set-Mailbox Mailbox -RetentionPolicy PolicyName
-
Start-ManagedFolderAssistant -Identity Mailbox
Cause
This issue occurs because a System.InvalidCastException exception occurs when Managed Folder Assistant tries to process mailboxes.
