The Microsoft® Exchange Server Analyzer Tool reads the following registry entry to determine if the default aging value for Exchange client view database indexes has been overridden:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\MSExchangeIS\<Server name>\Private-<Private Information Store GUID>\Aging Keep Time

If the Exchange Server Analyzer finds the Aging Keep Time registry entry present and configured, a non-default configuration message is displayed.

Indexes used for views that are created in Exchange database tables by an Exchange client that have not been used for a given time are cleaned up at this time. The following registry entries are used to control index aging:

It is recommended that you not add the Aging Keep Time registry value unless directed to by Microsoft Product Support Services.
