Adaptive scope syntax

Hi MC_Edwards,

There is an error in the setup. Here are the steps:

1. Create an adaptive scope. Choose user. Use the query: IsInactiveMailbox -eq "True"
2. Create a retention policy. Configure the settings to retain for 2 years then delete. On the "scope" step of the wizard, choose adaptive scope, then select the scope you created in step #1.
3. The policy will only apply to mailboxes included in the adaptive scope, so therefore only inactive mailboxes.

For the active user policy, I would follow the same steps, except use this query for the adaptive scope, just to ensure there is absolutely no overlap: IsInactiveMailbox -eq "False"
