So always check those licenses!
- One way to move a lot of old on-premise archive mail to the cloud archive without getting MS involved is to just make sure the process is working, and then import the old archive mail back into the mailbox and let the archiving process take its time. This could take months given the 30 day window, but will eventually complete. 🙂
