disable imported pst folder feature

Hi,

After migration to EV , on the client outlook folder structure we get imported Folder.

Users happen to delete this folder.

how can we disable deletion of this folder??

 

Regards,

Johny

  • You can lock a folder from being deleted by using EVPM.

    For example, if you want to lock folder Old PSTs for all users:
     
    [Directory]
    DirectoryComputerName = Vault
    SiteName = Vault Site Name
     
    [Mailbox]
    DistinguishedName = all
     
    [Folder]
    Name = \Old PSTs
    OverrideArchiveLocks = True
    NonDeletable = True

  • Another option to consider is that when you ingest the PST file, don't create the items/shortcuts in the mailbox.
