EVPM on public folders

Hi,

I know I can suppress archiving via the Full Outlook Add-In.

But I want to stop archiving from the beginning, so I started to use EVPM DoNotArchive Rule. Unfortunately, it won't work, do you have any idea for an error? maybe blank space or something?

[Directory]
DirectoryComputerName=mycomputername
Sitename = evsite myorg

[PUBLICFOLDER]
Name=\my-little-pf\pf 1\subpf 2\bk-test\

[Folder]
Filtername=DoNotArchive
APPLYTOSUBFOLDERS=TRUE
OverrideArchiveLocks=True

error parsing the config file: you must supply a value for either the retentioncategory or exchange permissions attributes.

both values stated as optional in utilities.pdf..so I think its an common error. INI is in unicode.

thanks in advance

Regards, FLX

    now it seems to work:

    you don't need the folder tag:

    [Directory]
    DirectoryComputerName=mycomputername
    Sitename = evsite myorg

    [PUBLICFOLDER]
    Name=\my-little-pf\pf 1\subpf 2\bk-test\
    Filtername=DoNotArchiveRetentionCategory=My Retention
    APPLYTOSUBFOLDERS=TRUE
    OverrideArchiveLocks=True

    Thanks!

    Hello FLX,

    Not sure about this one, but maybe try :

    Name="\my-little-pf\pf 1\subpf 2\bk-test\"

      Hi Gertjan,

      if I try with " or ' , EVPM can not parse the ini File.

      Also retentioncategory is set, I receive this error:

      Value in error:     \my-little-pf\pf 1\subpf 2\bk-test\
      Reason:     You must supply a value for either the retentioncategory or exchange
      permissions attributes
      Error parsing the config (.ini) file

      With retention category:

      [Directory]
      DirectoryComputerName=mycomputername
      Sitename = evsite myorg

      [PUBLICFOLDER]
      Name=\my-little-pf\pf 1\subpf 2\bk-test\

      [Folder]
      Filtername=DoNotArchive

      RetentionCategory=My Retention
      APPLYTOSUBFOLDERS=TRUE
      OverrideArchiveLocks=True
