EVPM folder restrictions

Hello Tech Gurus,

 

Can you please help me with folder restriction script, I have put in restriction that user cannot delete/move managed folder, however I want to restrict them with rename as well. They should not be able to even rename the folder provided to them.

 

Please refer to last script I am using :

[Directory]
DirectoryComputerName = EV1
SiteName = EVSite
 
[Filter]
Name = FilterA
CreateShortcut = true
DeleteOriginal = true
UnreadMail = true
UseInactivityPeriod = true
InactivityUnits = days
InactivityPeriod = 3
 
[Mailbox]
 LDAPquery = (memberof= CN=MyDistGroup,OU=Organization,OU=Groups,DC=myDomain,DC=com)
 LDAPQueryDomain = MyDomain.Com
 
[Folder]
Name = 5Years
FilterName = filterA
NonDeletable = True
RetentionCategory = 5 years
OverrideArchiveLocks = true

 

I thank you in advance for your guidance.

Warm Regards,

Gautam

    i dont think you can stop them from renaming a folder

    so woud it not be an impact that every one can rename the folder given to them? It would be difficult when troubleshooting some issue... we would not be able to identify what folder was it initially.

     

    Any thing you can recommend to put restriction?

    I guess I can do that and put this in instructions for them. So would it not be any issue of conflict in future? for instance for policies applied on that folder?

    i think this will be an issue and you should test it by running your EVPM script on 1 mailbox to create the managed folder, rename it in outlook and run the EVPM script again.

    however, if you're using Exchange managed folders, it would be a different story

    yep, it created one more folder as last one was renamed. This will cause lot of trouble in production environment. Not sure how to put restriction. Can we put restrictions from exchange like we cannot rename Inbox underneath mailbox. Will that be a good solution? Can I do it for all exchange users in one go?

    you could look into Exchange Managed Folders instead but with EVPM this is what you get.

    you can do it for all exchange users, just use "ALL" instead of a ldap query or whatever you're doing now.
