Unable to archive a Team.
Hello,
When I am trying to archive a Team via the Teams admin center I end up with an error message 'We can't archive the ABC team'. Archiving works for other Teams in the tenant and the issue is only with 1 particular Team.
Why could that be?
If there are Private Channels; you have to be owner of the Private channel to Archive

Thank you for pointing this out!!
In order to archive a Team with private channel(s), you have to be the owner of those channel(s). For some reason, Microsoft support has not figured this out yet - I still have a ticket open with them. 😞
Vinod_Bhargavan Any luck on finding the cause for this? I am currently running into the same situation ! TIA

jonathancavey I would suggest to report the issue via help give feedback back to MS so the logs will be uploaded and the exception can be found
- Is there a specific setting for that Team that could prevent the Archive operation?
I see 2 differences when I compare it with Teams which I am able to archive:
1. The Team has some private channels defined.
2. It also has the following settings defined (non-default):
- Not sure if Teams archive is supported when there are PC in place
