Office 365 Exchange ArchiveGuid question

Hi,

 

I have a question that I can't find an answer for and was curious if anyone knows the answer. We have Office 365 with E3 licensing and a local Exchange admin server/console. In order to see the online accounts in the local exchange admin console, we run the Enable-RemoteMailbox -Identity "<samAccountName>" -RemoteRoutingAddress "samAccountName@xxxxxx365.mail.onmicrosoft.com"  command. When we enable the online archive, we don't see the archive enabled on the local exchange console (which makes sense to me) but should we? The other admin at my office says yes but it doesn't make much sense to me on why we would or should. Anyone have any thoughts on this?

 

Thanks in advance.

    It takes few dirsync cycles to update it, but the ArchiveState should give you a clue as to where the Archive is hosted. Should be HostedPending when you run the cmdlet and HostedProvisioned after it's done syncing.

      Ah, sorry. I think I missed a detail in my explanation. We're creating new mailboxes that never resided on-premise. The user account is sync'd from on-premise but a new mailbox is generated in Office 365 not migrated.

       

      We have a number of old accounts that were migrated from on-premise to cloud but I'm curious about the ones that only have ever had a cloud mailbox.


      Thanks,

      David

        That's the expected behavior then, an object that never had mailbox attributes On-Prem would not suddenly start getting them just because you enabled Online archive.
