The third party utilities listed on slipstick.com look like they would do
perhaps exactly what we're looking for, however, I've been informed that
we're looking specifically for an actual Microsoft add-in utility that would
perform this function. We do not want to have to invest dollars in this
solution. Does anyone know of any Microsoft add-in utility that would
perform this function?

The closest you could come would be to disable the toolbar and menu commands
to open and create .pst files, including data file management, and use a
group policy setting to prevent users from making any changes in their mail
profiles.
There are many third-party archiving tools that don't involve .pst files.
