Looking to see if anyone might have a solution to this

Let me start by saying, my goal is NOT to export an Online Archive Mailbox
as a PST.  Our desire is to block PST by policy, without exception

Currently, when a user leaves we export their mailbox to PST and map that
file to their manager's Outlook client

I'm working on a script that will disable the user's mailbox, create a new
shared mailbox, then use New-MailboxRestoreRequest to copy all the email to
the newly created shared mailbox.  This works beautifully for the standard
mailbox of the old user, but there are no command switches for an old
user's Online Archive.  There is the -TargetIsArchive switch, but all that
will do is take the old user's standard mailbox and restore it to the
shared mailbox's Archive mailbox, which isn't our desire.

So obviously we are trying to keep the whole process online in Exchange and
not use PSTs.  We also know that we can connect the old mailbox to the new
shared mailbox, but this still doesn't resolve the manager "mapping" the
mailbox in Outlook and being able to see the old users Archive mailbox. In
order for them to see the Archive mailbox they would need to create a new
Outlook profile and that is also not desired.

Thanks!
