Hi,
Running Exchange 2007 and Outlook 2010 on a Windows Server 2008 R2 domain and I had previously disabled manual archiving from a customized installation routine. At the time no one needed it but a couple users had turned it on by mistake and it was causing issues, so I disabled it.
A couple years down the road now and a few of my managers want to keep more messages than our mail box policies allow so I suggested archiving, forgetting I had previously disabled it. D'oh!
So now I want to re-enable it and I think group policies is the way to go. But I'm having a little trouble figuring it all out. I have the templates installed and spent the last hour looking through it but can't seem to find the settings I'm looking for, can someone point me in the right direction? I don't think we are interested in AutoArchiving right now, just manual.
Secondly, I think it would be best to locate the PST file on a server so that they can be located from any computer a user logs into. I'd like to store it in the user's Documents folder, maybe under a sub folder there, is there some environment variable that will point me to the location of the user's documents folder? I have another policy redirecting their documents folders to a server share.
Hope this all makes sense.
Thanks in advance,
Linn
