The Microsoft® Exchange Server Analyzer Tool reads the following registry entry to determine whether the interval for removing public folder tombstone entries has been modified from the default value:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\MSExchangeIS\<ServerName>\Public-<Public Folder Store GUID>\Replication Folder Tombstone Age Limit
If the Exchange Server Analyzer finds that Replication Folder Tombstone Age Limit is present in the registry, a non-default configuration message is displayed.
Folder tombstone information is used by public folder replication. The aging is required to prevent the folder tombstone list from growing unbounded. The default value of 180 days can be overridden with the Replication Folder Tombstone Age Limit registry value.
