Enable or Disable a Journal Rule

  • Article

Applies to: Exchange Server 2010

You can use journal rules to perform granular journaling of messages sent and received by specified recipients. When you enable or disable journal rules on a Hub Transport server, the modified journal rule is replicated across the Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 organization and is available to all the Exchange 2010 Hub Transport servers.
