EVPM ini file 'ApplyToSubfolders'

[skw234dmsp]

All,

I would like to write a script that would create folders but apply the same retention category to any subfolders that are created afterwards by the user.  There is a command that would allow you to do something similar to what I want to achive under public folders.  I want to apply that same concept under folders but do not  how to in the 'Utility Guide'.   Here is a sample of the script and is this possible?  If not possible, how can this be done for sub folders that are created afterwards?

Thanks,

;Script will create three folders with three different retention categories.  Any subfolders created under those folders will receive the same rules and retention categories as that folder


;Scope - Custom Retention Categories for the Deleted Items, Business Documents, 180, and 540 Folders in Outlook for all Employees

[Directory]
DirectoryComputerName = EV
Sitename = EV1

;add retention category
 

[Mailbox]
DistinguishedName =/o=<user>

;Custom Retention Categories for Deleted Items/540/180/Business Documents folders

[Folder]
Name=\180
RetentionCategory = 180
OverrideArchiveLocks = true

[Folder]
Name =\540
RetentionCategory = 540
OverrideArchiveLocks = true

[Folder]
Name =\Business Documents
RetentionCategory = Business Documents HOLD
OverrideArchiveLocks = true

I think you're in luck. by default subfolders will inherit folder settings from the parent.

I think you are correct.  However, I ran this script and subfolders created did not inherit the retention category as the parent.  I'm still searching myself...

In which EV version and service pack did you try the settings?
