SYMPTOMS
========
When you use a mapped drive letter in the pathname to a file such as an
AutoArchive .pst file, the path to the file changes from
<drive>:\<folder>\Archive.pst to
\\<Servername>\<Sharename>\Archive.pst. You can see this change when
you use Browse to locate the file and then click OK.
CAUSE
=====
The file you are working with is being saved to a distributed file system (Dfs)
volume. With Dfs, you can create a single directory tree that includes multiple
file servers and file shares in a group, division, or enterprise.
WORKAROUND
==========
To work around the issue you can do one of the following:
- To retain the mapped drive letter name, save the file to a non-Dfs volume.
- Do not use the Browse button to locate the folder. Instead, manually type the
path name of the location where you want to save the file. For example:
"g:\<folder>\archive.pst" (without the quotation marks)
