Outlook Archive location and PRF files
 
I have been tasked with modifying the default archive location for a Citrix
Environment and am having difficulty. The first issue is the path. They
want the path to be a network share that all users will access, however each
arhive is to be named %username%_Archive.pst, therefore the path would look
like this \\Severname\ExchangeArchive$\%username%_Archive. pst

I have warned of the potential issues with performance and corruption,
however this is the solution they desire. I have tried with vbscript and
since vbscript does not have a conversion from ASCII to hex, then this is
slow due to the ASCII and hex equivalents must be set in a static array to
provide Hex mapping. This is slow (about 2-3 minutes to perform). We need a
VB ASC command, however I will move on. I also tried to update using a PRF
and the path never changes just increments the Archive.pst to a higher
number. I would like to solve this with a PRF file, however passing the
variables and setting the path seems to be the issue. I have performed these
steps as prescribed in the microsoft support documentation with no success.
I will post the PRF if I need to.

Any help with this will move us forward. This item has been requested by
several companies to date and would be a nice feature to get working. Please
and thanks for making Archiving better.

Perhaps you should advise 'those that must be obeyed' of this

What good is an archive if it is corrupted, and unrecoverable?
