I need to make a server side rule so that all employees at my company will have their Deleted Files folder emptied every time they close Outlook. I've been researching it for a while and I can't figure it out. So far the only way I'm having this done is by manually going into everyone's Outlook and checking the 'Empty Deleted Items Folder upon exiting' option.

Does anyone know of another way to set this up server side?

That link explains how to do this client side, not server side...

There seems to be some confusion here.

You say your stated aim is to configure all Outlook clients so that they have the box ticked that will empty Deleted Items when logging out. Okay, but a server-side rule is not the mechanism to set this - something like Group Policy would set this for you. Indeed, if you are just setting the tickbox manually, what's to stop the users from unticking it again 5 seconds after you walk away from their client, or 12 months later when they're messing with their settings?

As far as rules are concerned, I can't see any mechanism at all in the Rules Wizard of Outlook 2000 that will allow you to do this with a rule, whether server side or not.
