The Microsoft® Exchange Server Analyzer Tool reads the following registry value to determine whether the interval at which the Exchange store removes items that have exceeded the retention period has been modified from its default setting:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\MSExchangeIS\<ServerName>\Public-<Public Folder GUID>\Replication Expiry
If the Exchange Server Analyzer finds that the Replication Expiry registry value is present and configured, a non-default configuration message is displayed.
Message expiration is the process of expiring messages in public folders that exceed a specified time value. The default interval for message expiration is 24 hours.
