Archiving not working, only creating empty 265 KB PST


Question

I am trying to archive a folder ("2016") that contains three sub-folders:

  • IT (6.3 MB)
  • Inbox (392 MB)
  • Sent Items (220 MB)

No e-mail contained in any of the folders is outside of 2016.

 

No folder/e-mail is tagged with "Do not AutoArchive".

 

In Outlook 2010, I'm going to File > Cleanup Tools > Archive...

 

I'm selecting the "Archive items older than" date as "Sun 01/01/2017".

 

However, Outlook only creates an empty 265 KB PST.

 

Any ideas?

It could be one of two things, you might have a corrupt mail profile or it is because outlook archives based on the modified date. If you display your folder, then switch the customize view to include the modified date you should be able to archive those correctly. Hopefully that made sense.\

 

You might want to remove your full name from the second image under 'Archive file.'

I couldn't figure it out but the following worked:

 

File > Open > Import  > Export to a file > Outlook Data File (.pst)

    • Ah so it's not in the .ISO it's self but it changes the definition in the OOBE update during setup?
    • They always have. This just updates what's included out of the box during the initial install.
    • So basically their prebuilding it into the ISOs?
    • Microsoft shares Defender anti-virus update for new Windows 11/10 ISOs by Sayan Sen Following the one for Lumma last month, Microsoft has also published a new Defender update for Windows 11/10/Server installation images this month. This update package is necessary as a Windows installation image may contain old, outdated anti-malware definitions and software binaries. Aside from better security, these updates can also provide improved performance benefits in some cases. When a new Windows installation is set up, there may be a temporary security risk due to outdated Microsoft Defender protection in the OS installation images. This happens because the antimalware software included in these images might not be up to date. Thus Microsoft says that these updated definitions essentially help close this protection gap. Microsoft delivered the latest security definitions for Windows images via security intelligence update version 1.431.54.0. The Defender package version is also the same. It applies to Windows 11, Windows 10 (Enterprise, Pro, and Home editions), Windows Server 2022, Windows Server 2019, and Windows Server 2016. Microsoft writes: From Microsoft's security bulletin, we learn that the security intelligence update version 1.431.54.0 was released this past week adds threat detections for various backdoor exploits, trojans, among others. For those wondering, the latest intelligence update is version 1.431.155.0 at the time of writing.
