EVPM - Duplicate Folder

Jason Lucy's picture

I used EVPM to create a new folder based policy, however, when the ini file was modified it caused a nearly duplicate folder to be created.  (Example: Original was Personal Folders – ARCHIVED.  The new folder that was created is Personal Folders - ARCHIVED.)

Therefore, I need to be able to lock down the original folder created by our PST migration policy and if possible remove the new folder. 

Any help will be appreciated.

Our PST migration policy uses the original name with the enDash and the EVPM policy and mailbox policies do work with both folders.

I don't think you can remove

I don't think you can remove the new folder.
You can just change your EVPM script to the folder name you need, and it will apply the settings to it, even if it already exists.

EVPM definitely cannot remove

EVPM definitely cannot remove folders.  I'm sure there is a method of doing so through Exchange  (Doing a quick search netted this:  http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa563048.aspx ), but once EVPM puts a folder out there, it can't take it back.

Always a good idea to test EVPM scripts on a single mailbox before running them across the board, just to save this sort of headache!

I'm trying to prevent users from deleting the folder created by EVPM.
