creating a PRF file (or other method) to setup Autoarchive

While playing with the Custom Maintenance Wizard to try and solve my
problem, I see that I can easily turn Autoarchive on at the equivalent of
the Tools, Options, Other, Autoarchive level. That solves the first half of
what I want to do. Now I want to change the Autoarchive settings on the
Deleted Items folder to automatically delete all items over 30 days
automatically. I don't see a way to do that with this wizard and I didn't
find Registry entries that seemed to have relevance to the problem.

Has anyone solved this problem before? Ideally I would love to have on file
they could click to setup autoarchive, but there is no problem with creating
it in steps and linking them together through a batch file.
 
You can do this on Exchange using the Mailbox Manager function. It will be
universal and not configurable locally by your clients. See F1 help on the
Exchange server for details.

Oh yeah I know that, but it needs to be voluntary. That is why I want to do
it by script if possible. All users are equal, some are more equal than
others! ;-)
