[dba-Tech] Exchange/Outlook - autoarchive prob

Hi folks
Any ideas on this one? Exchange 5.5 + Outlook 2K.

A single user uses 3 different workstations and accesses his mail from all
3. Autoarchive is used to archive items over a certain age to a local PST.
However it appears that Autoarchive rules are held at the server cos any
change at one w/s is picked up next time he uses a different w/s. And the
problem is that as autoarchiving can kick off at any time his archive end up
getting divided between the 3 machines. IOW if he goes to pc1 on Monday it
may do some autoarchiving to that m/c's C: drive, and if he uses pc2 on
Tuesday the archiving puts some items into the archive on that C: drive. One
possible solution would be to make the archive a file on the network, but
then it wouldn't be available if the net was down. Has anyone encountered
this? Anyone got a neat solution? We'd like to elect that one w/s archives
and the rest don't but this seems impossible.
