Is there a way to do disable outlook archiving on a global scale (i.e. via Group Policy/ESM), rather than going to each user's desktop and setting it manually? Failing that, is there a way, on a global scale (i.e. via Group Policy/ESM) to set the archive's default location to a network drive rather than the default local location (C:\documents and Settings\<username>\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook\archive.pst)? kind regards, adrian ------------------------------------------------------- List Archives: //www.freelists.org/archives/exchangelist/ MSExchange Newsletter: http://www.msexchange.org/pages/newsletter.asp MSExchange Articles and Tutorials: http://www.msexchange.org/articles_tutorials/ MSExchange Blogs: http://blogs.msexchange.org/ ------------------------------------------------------- Visit TechGenix.com for more information about our other sites: http://www.techgenix.com ------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe visit http://www.msexchange.org/pages/exchangelist.asp Report abuse to listadmin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
