“Enable message tracking” is not available in Exchange 2003!

Hi all!
In my new job I inherited Exchange 2003 server. I noticed that Message tracking was disabled.
I decided to enable it, but the check boxes “Enable subject logging and display” and “Enable message tracking” are gray!
It seemed to me like permission issue. But I belong to Exchange Full Admin role. I even delegated control directly to my account via Delegation Wizard and also added my account that is Domain Admin to the local Administrators group.
I restarted the Exchange Management Service after that: no luck.
I installed Exchange Admin tools on my desktop and tried the same: no luck.
Any ideas and suggestions will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance!

Looking for an Exchange tool for rules on deleted item retention, mailbox age and limits

It’s been a few years and I’m once again an Exchange Administrator (Ex2003standard, migrating to enterprise in about 3 months).

I formerly had a tool for rules on deleted item retention, mailbox age and limits (eg: all sent items to archive after 6 months), which was formerly the mailbox manager. Does it still exist, or do you have suggestions?

Exchange Server email store management tool

Exchange Ask the Experts — Fri, 08 Feb 2008 21:28:45 +0000

It’s been a constant struggle keeping the size of our Exchange email store under control, as my company has a virtually paperless environment. How do companies handle an ever-growing Exchange email store without putting hard quotas in place? Or is that a pie-in-the-sky idea?

We currently perform quarterly extracts of .PST files where we snip off everything but a month’s worth of user email. We then back them up and store them on the user’s local machine in order to reduce email store size on the Exchange server. Is there a tool that can automate this process? Microsoft Outlook’s auto-archive tool seems like it might work, but I’m looking for more of an administrative tool.
