Hi,

Need some help enforcing Auto Archive in Outlook 2010 via GPO. Have an exchange 2010 environment  with all clients on Outlook 2010.

Have a test OU setup with a few users and auto archive is enabled via GPO on this OU with the Outlook 2010 ADM template and confirmed that the GPO gets applied to the test users however the only folder getting auto archived is the sent items folder. After poking around further I found that the Inbox' folder has the 'do not archive items in this folder' option still checked in its properties after the GPO applied. I also understand that Outlook 2010 comes with auto archive disabled out of the box. I'd like to avoid having to manually set the inbox folder to be auto archived by having the auto archive settings applied by the GPO. Have abt 500 users I'd like to apply this GPO to.

Additionally,  by default the Auto Archive is not set to apply the settings to all folders. In the GPO, there is no option to enable the option "Apply these settings to all folders now".

How can I have the GPO set the Auto Archive settings and apply the settings to all folders? This is however a secondary requirement as I'd like the Inbox folder to auto-archive once the GPO is applied. 

Test PC: Windows 7 32-bit, Office 2010 V:14.0.6129.5000, Server: Exchange 2010, Server 2008 R2
