Managing auto-archive settings...

[Brad Pears]

Is there a better way to centrally manage all users archiving settings
instead of setting it all individually in their Outlook 2002 client? i.e.
using some sort of group policy or something??

I really need to lock this down a bit more because I have users adjusting
their settings all the time (some turning it off completlely because they
are too lazy to make that extra click over to their archive folders...). I
want to be able to set the auto archive settings across the board and lock
the users out of it period.

We are running an SBS 2000 machine (using Exchange 2000 obviously) and all
Outlook 2002 clients.

Thanks, Brad

Use Group Policies for this. You can find the adm-templates in the ORK.

That's kind of what I thought. I downloaded and installed the ORK tools but
can not find where the .adm files are at all. Any ideas where I can grab
them from? A search on the PC's hard drive yielded no matches after
installing ORKTools!

Thanks, Brad

They are in your inf-folder just like all your other adm-files;
