How to enable archive on-prem?

Hi

Hybrid here, we create our mailboxes on-prem (Exchange 2013-no mailboxes on-prem) and let them sync up to the cloud.

However for some reason some mailboxes are not showing on-prem anymore but are fine in the cloud.

I can recreate the mailbox on-prem so via EAC by editing the attributes on the AD object or by creating a new User Mailbox but the archive is not set/created/defined on-prem (All archive should be done in the cloud.), this only happens if I use the wizard > + > Office365 mailbox:

 

So to exemplify:

The first account had an AD object and a O365 mailbox but no present in EAC

The second account I created using the Office 365 mailbox:

We can see the ArchiveGUID and ArchiveState filled in on the second one.

 

In EAC we can see the Mailbox type is different for both accounts:

Office365 for the account I edited in AD/EAC

Office365 (Archive) for the account I created using the Office365 mailbox and selecting enable archive

All archive should be done in the cloud.

 

My question is how can I populate the ArchiveGUID and ArchiveState properties for the account I modified? 

Bit long .... sorry... 

 

 

  • did you run this in onprem exchange shell?
    Enable-RemoteMailbox "user name here" -Archive

    This supposed to create archive mailbox in O365.
