Question about moving emails into In-Place Archive Mailbox On-Demand automatically?

Hi community,

 

Here is my scenario.

User called in with the full primary mailbox.

User requested to enable Archive Mailbox.

I enabled In-Place Archive Mailbox.

Default MRM Policy states it should start move 2 years old email to archive mailbox, but it did not start doing it immediately.

Question is, how can we automatically start moving 2 years or 1 years old emails in In-Place Archive mailbox immediately instead of retention policy to kick in?

    If you have the correct archiving policy applied to the mailbox, you need to manually run the managed folder assistant against it if you want to move items ASAP:
    Start-ManagedFolderAssistant -Identity email address removed for privacy reasons

    The other option is to manually move items from the online mailbox to the archive mailbox
