SYMPTOMS
When setting options with the System Policy Editor, you cannot set the default archive folder path.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article. 

RESOLUTION
You can set a default AutoArchive path by modifying the Outlook.prf file that is available as a download. The file is available as part of the Microsoft Office Resource Kit at the following Microsoft Web site:

http://www.microsoft.com/office/ork/

AutoArchive is not a static key and you cannot change it by creating an updated registry key. You must change the AutoArchive through profile generation by using the Outlook.prf file with the Modprof.exe file or the Newprof.exe file. The following is a sample of the changes that you must make in the Outlook.prf file: [Service1] DoAutoArchive=True AutoArchiveFileName = "M:\temp\archive.pst"
 * Outlook AutoArchive--
 * True=On and False=Off
 * specify the full path to the archive pst file
