Hi - I am currently investigating the feasibility of using O365 archiving for our organisation. We currently are using Exchange 2010 on-premise (upgrade to 2016 later this year) and use Exchange Online Archive(on-premise) but would like to offload archiving to O365. I have the tenancy already setup and configured, and I can move mailboxes/archives to the cloud and back without a problem. Where I am having an issue is with using a on-premise mailbox with archive in O365, once I migrate the archive out and assign the license everything works ok, however when this is done, I have no administrative abilities to do anything with the archive in O365 console. Effectively the archive disappears from admins view in the O365. With powershell I can see the status of the archive and could probably do additional tasks, however this is not an easy task to do for the help desk guys. I was kind of expecting to be able to manage archives and do inplace holds and do ediscovery etc all from within the O365 console, to meet our compliancy requirements. Am I missing something? Has anyone had any experience with this? Any third party tools that people could recommend?
