AD: Auto Archive Outlook 2010 GPO

Hello,
I am currently testing Auto Archiving in Outlook 2010 via GPO but am having a little trouble with it. I copied the ADMX files to the DC and the workstation I am testing it from. I was able to get the policy applied and everything seems to be working. However,
here is where I am confused. I have it set to auto archive anything older than a month (to test) and the only thing I see archived are Sent emails. Does anyone know why it did not archive the Inbox and anything that was older than  a month in it?
On this test machine:
Windows 7 64bit
Office 2010
Server:
Exchange 2010
AD 2008 R2

Hi,
Please use Group Policy Management Console to generate a Group Policy result to check policy apply status.
After you applied Outlook 2010 Auto Archive policy, its data are stored at:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\office\14.0\outlook\preferences
Check such registry hive in your client; make sure your user applied the policy successfully.

  • Auto Archiving outlook 2010 GPO request

    I'm wanting to setup a GPO to auto archive the user emails every 3 months.  I want it to archive to their machine, backup to their private network folder, and index the archive from the machine, not from the network folder.  this one is tricky.
     Can it be done?

  • Auto archiving Outlook for pop3 mailbox

    I know it is possible to set auto archiving in outlook with the implementation of rules for exchange account.
    I wonder if auto archiving can be performed for pop3 accounts. Basically trying to auto-archive old email from outlook and save them in NAS device. Don't want to run Time Machine as it will start to backup the whole system.

    Hi,
    According to your description, I noticed that “If we type in the user's email address and name and click Next, the profile is created successfully”. Do you mean the linked mailbox can be setup automatically when you fill in the Name and E-mail Address in
    the Auto Account Setup page? For example:
    If that is the case, the autodiscover service in Exchange side should be configured correctly and it is working for Outlook client automatically account setup.
    If the account can’t be setup automatically when using autodiscover service, please
    verify that the Master Account (Domain2\User1) has full access to the Linked Mailbox ([email protected]) as well as the smtp address using the cmdlets Get-Mailbox and Get-MailboxPermission in Exchange server:
    Get-Mailbox [email protected] | fl PrimarySmtpAddress,*Type*,*Link*
    Get-MailboxPermission [email protected] | fl

  • Bug: Auto-archive does not work in Outlook 2010

    The Auto-Archive feature does not seem to work. In my case, I'm creating a mail folder in my inbox and setting the auto archival to "2 weeks, then delete". I run Auto Archival manually. It seems to progress without any error, but I know better.
    It should take the process more than a few minutes to process the mail I have stored up for almost a year. No error and my mail has been untouched.
    I noticed this thread in the Outlook 2010 beta forums
    I'm having the same issue. I'd like this bug fixed if possible? I keep archival folders to manage my mail.

    Hi Canovac,
    Auto Archive works as expected in my environment.   I noticed you said that you created a new mail folder in your inbox.  Did you just create the folder and move the mail to that folder?  Auto archive looks at modified date and if you
    move the mail to that folder that changed the modified date so the mail will not archive.
    To determine the modified date, do the following:
    While on the folder in question:
    Click View > View Settings > Columns
    In the Select available columns from dropdown choose
    All Mail Fields locate Modifed in the Available colums: and click
    Add
    If the mail has not been modified within the last two week span, please test the following for me.
    Start Outlook with the /safe switch and then run Auto-Archive. 
    Does auto-archive work when starting with the /safe switch?

  • Outlook 2010 Pro Plus not showing Retention/Archive Policies only on Terminal Server

    I have Office 2010 Pro Plus (Terminal Server License) installed on Remote Desktop Services 2008 R2 and running Outlook 2010 against Exchange 2010 SP1 with Enterprise CALS for all users.  If I run Outlook locally on a PC (not TS Client)
    I have apply folder retention policies and archival policies no problem but if I open Outlook on Terminal Server I cannot.  Everything is greyed out.  This is the exact same version of Outlook, just different keys but I can't apply any policies for
    the Terminal Server users.
    So, to clarify, on a regular PC, I can click an Outlook folder, click on the "Policies" button on the ribbon and have retention policies as well as Online Archive settings as I should but when I use the same version on Terminal Server
    the Policies button is greyed out completely and cannot set.  I am NOT using auto-archive settings and not using PST files, only Online Archive.
    Thank you

  • Workaround to archive email in Outlook 2010 as PDF portfolio?

    Hello All,
    We use Acrobat Pro 9.4.6.
    Our office will not update to Acrobat X until CS6 becomes available for purchase.
    We run Office 2010 Pro 32-bit on Windows 7 64-bit.
    We need to archive email in a way that can be sorted in a PDF Portfolio by date or attachments to email.
    I wrote VBA code to save email from an entire folder or several selected folders as .HTML files with the same folder structure on disk as was in Outlook. This works for sorting by date of email, but it does not allow for the attachments to stay attached to the email.
    I thought about downgrading Acrobat to 9.0, but I am unsure if this is possible.
    Has anyone found a way to archive email in Outlook 2010 as PDF portfolio which would allow sorting by which email have attachments?
    Thanks,
    edsager
    P.S. A few extra steps would definitely add more benefit than cost.

    To resolve error 0x8004010F , identify the current location of your default Outlook data file, and then create a new Outlook profile.
    Step 1- Locate the default Outlook data file
    Click Start, and then click Control Panel.
    In Control Panel, click Mail.
    In the Mail Setup - Outlook dialog box, click Show Profiles.
    Select your current Outlook profile, and then click Properties.
    In the Mail Setup - Outlook dialog box, click Data Files.
    Select the Data Files tab in the Account Settings dialog box, and then note the name and location of the default data file for your profile (a check mark will denote the default data file).
    Click Close.
    Step 2 - Create a new Outlook profile
    Step 3 - Configure your new Outlook profile as the default profile
    More detailed steps you can refer to this KB article:

  • Acrobat XI aborts when archiving emails in Outlook 2010

    I'm trying to archiving emails in Outlook 2010 as a PDF.  When I set the folders to archive and execute, it will run but abort and cancel the job after only partial completion.  There is no specific folder or email where this happens.  It appears to be random but I have yet to complete a full archive on my Outlook emails.  I know others have had similar problems but there doesn't seem to be many  responses.  Perhaps Adobe personnel could provide some solutions to this.  I'd appreciate any help.  Thanks.

  • Online Archive only visible in Outlook 2010 after OWA logon

    Dear.
    We implemented Exchange 2010 native archiving. We created our own retention policies, applied them to the mailboxes and archiving started successfully exactly as we want it.
    We’re using Outlook 2010 clients with both: cached and non-cached mode. The strange thing is that for the online archive to be visible in outlook, the user needs to logon to OWA
     first and only once. Afterwards, online archive stills visible in Outlook 2010.
    Is there any other way to make the online archive visible without forcing the user to do a one-time logon to OWA?
    Thanks for the feedback.
    Regards.

  • Auto suggestion in outlook 2010

    Hi,
    As i type in outlook 2010, the word suggestions need to be shown to select then and there( as similar to mobile; when we compose a message by making dictionary ON).
    Please suggest me.
    Thanks,
    VidhyaShankar

    Hi,
    By word suggestions/auto suggestions, do you mean the feature that prompt with suggested words when we type the first few letters? If this is the case, I'm afraid there is no such feature in Outlook.
    If I've misunderstood it, would please provide a screenshot regarding this feature on the mobile so that we can understand it more clearly? You can share the screenshot to us by sending it to

  • Issue with Exchange 2007 SP3/Outlook 2010 User account Auto accepting Appointments

                                
    0
    Hi
    I have an issue with 2 users who's appointments are being Auto-accepted or Auto Declined. As these are User Mailboxes there is no resource scheduling set on these. I've also checked for delegates (none), Rules (including running outlook.exe /cleanrules).
    If I send the user some test appointments when they are not logged into Outlook, the appointments are not processed. If the user logs in through OWA then the appointments are not processed. When the user logs into Outlook 2010 (using Mapi) the appointments
    are processed within 5-10 minutes. I started to think it may be a PC issue, something buried in the registry. But I give myself full access to the account and logged in from my machine using Outlook 2010, the appointments are auto processed, again, within
    5- 10 minutes .
    Lots of stuff on the internet all pointing to Resource scheduling, delegates or Rules but I have now discounted all of these.
    If I check the users MailboxCalendarSettings, AutomateProcessing is set to AutoUpdate and not AutoAccept. The Outlook Client has all settings in Resource Scheduling unticked.
    Thanks
    Darran

    Hi Darran,
    If there is no delegate configured, no rules and calendar processing is also set properly, please switch Outlook to Online mode to check whether the issue persists. Also close Outlook and receive test meeting request directly in OWA to double check the mailbox
    would not automatically process the meeting in OWA.
    If the issue happens in Outlook Online mode but not continues in OWA, please restart Outlook in safe mode or change a new computer with fresh Outlook 2010 to have a try.
    Thanks,

  • Exchange 2013 Issue: Outlook 2010 auto populating the From Tab when forwarding email

    Exchange 2013 Issue: Outlook 2010 auto populating the From Tab when forwarding email        
    I am running Exchange 2013 and I have an end user who connects to it via Outlook 2010. All was going well till he went to forward an email and he noticed that the From button appeared and auto populated the sender's email address.
    I have clicked the Empty Auto Complete List in Outlook's Send messages... still displayed the From tab when forwarding.
    I recreated the profile in outlook... same thing.
    I created the profile with outlook 2013... same thing.
    There is only one user profile setup in Outlook.
    (I know the from tab usually appears when you have multiple profiles setup in Outlook and/or when you configure the "From" tab.)
    I opened the end user's email in Exch 2013's OWA... what was different here was when I clicked on the email and it opened, it did NOT have the Reply or Forward option... and it displayed as a "Draft" email.
    Does anyone have any ideas?

    So are you saying that the from button is filling the option with the original senders address (eg the person who sent the message to your user), or that it's filling in the your users address (in which case I don't understand what the issue is, since
    it IS going from your user)?

  • Exchange Server 2013 / Outlook 2010 Auto-Complete address problems

    Hi 
    We run an Exchange 2013 environment where end users use Outlook 2010.
    For some reason several users (at least 5 so far, maybe more that haven't noticed yet) are complaining that they are now unable to add any additional address to the Auto-Complete cache.  This can be resolved manually by emptying the cache from within
    Outlook then disabling and re-enabling auto-complete but obviously they then have a blank slate.
    My question is - is there anything that can cause this type of problem collectively?  I have seen it previously, but occurrences have always been isolated to an individual user.
    Thanks in advance
    M

    Hello,
    You can try use NK2View tool to modify your Outlook Auto Complete Addresses.
    With NK2View you can delete unwanted email addresses from your autocomplete file and add new addresses from your address book as well as edit current email address entries. And NK2View is a free download from NirSoft and you can get the software by going
    to their website.
    Besides, the auto-complete cache is a outlook feature, I recommend you post your issue to outlook forum.
