Group Policy help outlook 2003/2007

Hi I've recently started using group policies to adjust domain-wide settings.
I've been toying with the idea of turning on auto-archive for everyone and
creating the archive .pst file out on their networked user drive where it
gets backed up nightly. I've been testing this with my own account (scary, I
know). It created an archive.pst and archived everything except my inbox. The
archive.pst is also in the default location, rather than the one I had hoped.
It ignored my "Misc./PST Settings/Default location for PST and OST files",
and "Tools /Other/AutoArchive/AutoArchive Settings" entries and it didn't
apply the settings to my inbox. I'm testing this with outlook 2007 on my
machine and see the same settings in the 2003 group policy settings. Anyone
ever set this up before? Any good or bad feedback would be great.
Thanks,
-Matt-
 
Anyone ever set up .pst files or archiving with Group Policy before?

I've noticed a couple of 3rd party vendors out there that offer programs
that supposedly handle this. Such as GPOVault or PolicyMaker from a company
called DesktopStandard (acquired by MS).

Any input is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Matt
