All users in the organisation are assigned policies, I have separate policies and settings for “Desktop” users and “Remote” users, which work great.
I have some users who spend 50% time in office and 50% remotely. When they are in the office, they would like to access their email on the server, and when remotely, access locally. I have this already set up for the “Desktop” and “Remote” users. The problem I have is: if I assign this “50\50” group a Desktop Policy Setting with the “Mail file Location” field set to “Local”, when they are in office and switch from their “Remote” location to their “Office” location, the mail file location will be changed in the “Office” location doc to “Local”. In the policy setting doc for each value, I can specify whether I would like to: Don’t set value, Set initial value, etc.
I guess what I am trying to do is specify settings specifically to a Location document.
A thought is: in policy, utilise the setting, “Do not allow private location docs”, (which I think prevents users from creating location docs…need to test), make sure the Desktop mail file location setting is set to “Don’t set value”, then send an email with code to check for specific location docs and set the mail file location accordingly.
But can it be controlled just using Policies.
Thanks in advance, all comments suggestions gladly welcomed.
