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

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!

Excellent! Can you mark your answer as solution? Others might be helped with this.

Yes, the [PublicFolder] and [Folder] section tags are parallels that contain mostly the same options. You use the former for Public Folders and the latter for folders in a normal Exchange mailbox.
