Don't want to archive Outlook contacts

[antonio_boydera]

I'm using a new install of Enterprise Vault 10 and would like to omit Outlook contacts from being archived.  Is there a way to do this?  I'm having a little trouble finding the solution.

Thanks

Well, a contact has a message class IPM.CONTACT.  If that isn't selected in your Archiving Policy then those won't be archived by the archiving task.

Evil end-users still can manually archive them if you allow them the 'store in vault' button.  To stop them doing that you need to implement a registry key, it's called ManualArchiveMessageClassCheck:

Great, I found the Message Classes tab.  Thanks for your help.
