[dba-Tech] Exchange/Outlook - autoarchive prob

Well

I always turn of Autoarchiving when having Exchange server.
I don't see the advantage to archive mails when you have Exchange
server.

You can always import those three archive back in the mailbox. The
archives are regular PST files.

Subject: [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.
