exclude folder from archiving - question

I have the following:

[Directory]
directorycomputername = EVServer1.myCompany.Com
sitename = EVSite

[Mailbox]
DistinguishedName = /o=organization/ou=mailboxou/cn=Recipients/cn=mailboxcname

[Folder]
name = \ActionBox
Filtername = DoNotArchive
OverrideArchiveLocks = True

that will exclude folder called ActionBox in the outlook root folder from archiving.

BUT - if I run it on the whole site and not just the specific users who have this folder for sure - will it create this folders in case user do not have it?

Since this is a software that creates this folders to specific users only and we do not know which one of the users use this software, we need this "do not archive" to work on existing folders only and that will not create it...

 

Is it possible?

You are correct, it is by design and you can't set it to not create it.

Hi Sarah,

Yes, I will create the folder if the folder does not exist in the mailbox. That's by design. Maybe you can identify what users are using the SW and create a provisioning group or a LDAP query for those users and use it in the Mailbox section. This is from the Policy Manager documentation:

[Folder] section of the Policy Manager initialization file
...
Name
Mandatory. If the specified folder hierarchy does not exist, Policy Manager creates it and sets the specified properties.

I hope this helps.

Thanks Gabe,

 

Wanted to verify that there is an option to not create a folder, but if it is by desiggn, there is nothing I can do.
