Smith Sent: Thursday, July 20, 2017 3:05 PM To: exchange@lists.myitforum.com Subject: [Exchange] RE: Exchange Online Archiving (EOA) question - DPT/RPT Office 365 has added a new default folder named ‘Archive’ in each primary mailbox. Clicking on the Archive button moves messages to that default folder. It does NOT move items to the “Archive mailbox”. There were a few MVPs, including myself, that thought the creation of an archive mailbox was a mistake. It now appears that Microsoft is also moving in that direction. They expanded the maximum supported mailbox size from 10 GB, to 25 GB, to 50 GB, to 100 GB, to 125 GB in current releases of Exchange Online and in Exchange 2016 on-premises. The only reason I would now provision an archive mailbox is, for some odd reason, you really need to have a single mailbox with more than 125 GB of data.

Does “this folder” mean the whole archive mailbox, or some subfolder of the archive mailbox? Because if it is the WHOLE archive mailbox, not a subset of it, that would solve my issues. But, if it is just a subset, then that does not solve my concerns. Thanks again Steven Stringham https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn783294(v=exchg.150).aspx Folder name Details Archive This folder is the default destination for messages archived with the Archive button in Outlook. The Archive feature provides a fast way for users to remove messages from their Inbox without deleting them. This RPT is available only in Exchange Online.

In a word: no. I’d forget using archives, personally. Just import those mailboxes to the cloud AS A DIFFERENT USER. Then put them under permanent hold. Then manage the original mailboxes with a DPT of 180 day permanent delete. From: listsad...@lists.myitforum.com<mailto:listsad...@lists.myitforum.com> [mailto:listsad...@lists.myitforum.com] On Behalf Of Stringham, Steven Sent: Wednesday, July 19, 2017 3:40 PM To: 'exchange@lists.myitforum.com' Subject: [Exchange] Exchange Online Archiving (EOA) question - DPT/RPT I know that with on premises exchange – a DPT or RPT tag will apply both to the primary mailbox and to the archive. Is this true in a hybrid environment? Here is my issue. I have number of mailboxes that are huge (think 100g+). We wish to archive the contents of these mailboxes – to store like forever –to EOA in a hybrid environment. Then, we would like to change in the future to setup retention polices to remove email older than 180 days from the primary mailboxes for ongoing email once the migration to EOA of all that old data is completed.. But, we do NOT want the old messages in the EOA do be removed when we do this. That, we wish to just retain forever (kinda). Does EOA have retention policies that will apply to Just the EOA archive, and not to the primary mailbox? ________________________________ This message and any attachments are intended only for the use of the individual or entity to which they are addressed.
