We manage hundreds of Users who are always changing their archiving defaults.
We'd like to have a corporate standard and lock it down when we deploy PCs.

The same is true for .PST files. Users are creating multiple .PST files in
leu of archiving and we'd like to stop it. These are options that my Email
Administrator should have available.
