Also, under the properties of a folder in the Archive.pst file, Retention
Policy is listed and is currently reading "The network administrator has not
set retention policies."

(Since the last event, I deactivated Retention policies.) Obviously, the
Retention Policy does impact files and folders in the open .PST data file.

Something else must have happened here. The Exchange retention settings do
not apply to pst-files but only to the Exchange mailbox.

We activated an Archive Group policy on our Win2K3 Server with Exchange
Srvr 2K3. Is there a way to get the policy to not take the same action
on the archive.PST file?

In the Archive folder, I set the "Do not archive items in this folder"
for all folders.

In the Retention Settings, I set set all items to be retained for 60
days.
I also set "For Items Not being Retained" send items to Deleted folder.


What happened was that all items in the archive folder over 60 days old
were sent to the deleted items folder, even though all folders were set
to "Do not archive items in this folder".

How do I set the policy to only work on the Active Outlook folders and
not on the Archive PST file?
