Hello, I work for a non-profit agency running a Citrix/TS Server setup,
we are having some difficulties with Outlook 2003 autoarchive.

Recently we discovered that Outlook 2003 was/is auto-archiving to the
profile folders on the Citrix servers per se -- bad place. We only
discovered this after we turned on the GPO on the Citrix OU -- Delete
cached copies of roaming profiles, so we don't have profiles stored on
the Citrix servers, people get them from the TS Server.

After that, people started getting error messages about Outlook can't
find his archive.pst file. Obviously the archive.pst file on the Citrix
server was deleted by the above GPO.

So we turned that GPO off again (Delete cached...).

But people are still getting this error message though Outlook will
probably now recreate the archive.pst file in the Citrix server
again...UGH.

Presently the Outlook GPO for auto-archive itself is *enabled* with
everything UN-checked, my understanding is that this should turn off
auto-archiving for everyone.

My questions are:

1. How do I turn off auto-archiving **AND** make Outlook 2003 stop
looking for the archive.pst file??

2. I have seen some threads concerning registry entries related to
auto-archiving, should I find and set these registry entries??

3. Do we need to have all the end users' Outlook profiles changed
somehow?? If so, how??

Thank you, Tom

Turn off autoarchive first.  Tools>Options>Other>AutoArchive.  Uncheck "Run
AutoArchive every".  Then vistit each folder with
right-click>Properties>AutoArchive tab and make sure "Do not archive items
in this folder" is selected.

I'm not familiar with these.  Someone else may answer.

Each person experiencing the problem can tyry what I suggest.  If there's
some global way to accomplish it, I'm unfamiliar with the method.
