    Using Scripted PST Migration you only have 3 options.  It does not respect the PST Migration policy assigned via Provisioning.  Only Server driven or Client driven use the PST Migration policy.  

    ShortcutMode

    Optional. Defines the PST migration mode, which determines how Policy Manager treats the contents of the PST at the end of the migration.

    Possible values:

    [PST] section

    • PSTShortcuts (default). Create shortcuts to the migrated items and leave the shortcuts in the PST files.

    • MailboxShortcuts. Create shortcuts to the migrated items and put the shortcuts into the designated Exchange mailbox. Also copies to the mailbox any items that were excluded from archiving.

    • NoShortcuts. Do not create any shortcuts to migrated items. Any items that were excluded from archiving remain in the PST files. 

     If all your PSTs are in one location you could easily use Server driven to do the migration.  Might be a bit easier then using Scripted (EVPM)
