Hi All,

I need to create a rule that saves the attachments to a share drive on our network.

I have been able to create a script that saves the attachments when the e-mail is send to me, but I need to create it for a shared mailbox and I want it to run even if outlook isn't running. 

Is this possible?

I do have admin privileges on the Exchange server, if that is a better solution?

To do that via Outlook I believe you'd need to add the rule to the shared mailbox itself, eg not within your own mailbox, so you'd need to login direct to that shared mailbox in Outlook, or login to it via Outlook Web Access and then create the rule in there.

That said, if the rule and the script it runs handles the contents of the message I have a suspicion that it will be flagged as an "on this machine only" rule, in which case you won't be able to get it to run without Outlook on that specific machine running, so I'd check first of all how it's recognised in Outlook in your own account. There are various things which can cause the rule to only work on a specific machine (or to only run when Outlook is running), which you can see here http://www.msoutlook.info/question/371
