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:
- Aging Keep Time The minimum index age
before it is deleted. The default is 8 days for Exchange
Server 5.5 and 40 days for Exchange 2000 Server, Exchange
Server 2003, and Exchange Server 2007.
- Aging Clean Interval The minimum time
interval (milliseconds) between index age task runs. The default is
24 hours.
- Reset Views If this setting exists, and
it is non-zero, this forces all cached indexes to be deleted during
the next index aging task run. When the index aging is complete,
the Reset Views value sets to 0.
It is recommended that you not add the Aging Keep Time registry value unless directed to by Microsoft Product Support Services.
