Exchange/Outlook 2003 - group policy & local PST files

S

Szkrad

Hello,

As a growing company, we're now dealing with the 16GB limit on the
Exchange Info Store for SBS2003. In an effort to make sure we never
reach that, I'm looking to setup a GPO to give everyone consistent
AutoArchive settings as well as a common location for the PST file.


I have already downloaded the Office Administrative Templates for
Outlook 2003, so I already have found the settings I want to modify and

have made the changes, I just haven't made them live on the domain yet.



My thoughts to date:
* create two GPOs, one for the PST location, one for the autoarchive
settings themselves
* set PST location to local drive, or common network share


My concerns:
* can I use environment variables in defining a filename? e.g.,
"C:\outlook archive\%USERNAME%'s Archive.pst"
* what will happen to an already created PST file in a location
different from the newly defined? will it move the existing to the new
location and continue, or will it start a new, second PST and the
contents of the first will have to be moved manually?


Anything else I should be concerned about? Aside from having the new
PST files backed up...


I'd appreciate any help you can provide - thanks!


Brian
