Disable-Mailbox -Archive in EXO with M365 Retention Policies assigned
Hello, working with a client that has 3 M365 retention policies assigned org-wide: 1. For All EXO mailboxes and all SPO/OneDrive's 2. For Teams Chats - all users/Teams 3. For Teams everything else - all users/Teams I'm unable to exclude a mailbox from #2 or #3 via Set-RetentionCompliancePolicy -AddExchangeLocationException, due to error TL;DR: this policy controls teams and Exchange settings are not allowed to be changed. I'm unable to do Disable-Mailbox -Archive, as the error tells me about the Teams policy #3 above being assigned (which indeed shows up in Get-OrganizationConfig). User's InPlaceHolds properly shows -mbx<guidOfPolicy#1Above>, and DelayHoldApplied/DelayReleaseHoldApplied both set to False. I'm unable to do Set-Mailbox -ExcludeFromAllOrgHolds, because that is only allowed on Inactive Mailboxes. Same goes for Set-Mailbox -ExcludeFromOrgHolds. My use case - UserMailbox which was enabled with an online Archive is now converted to a SharedMailbox, only requires <50GB, and no Archive. Archive is not even allowed per the EXO Service Descriptions for an un-licensed SharedMailbox. I find no way to drop the Archive mailbox successfully. This is fine, except the hypothetical scenario where the users of this SharedMailbox start to place items into the Archive, and then Microsoft invents something which takes away Archive mailboxes from un-licensed accounts. Not sure if that will ever happen, but I see no way to get this done and be on the right side of the license terms. Any ideas?
Office 365 Exchange Archive
Hi We have 365 Business Basic which I believe gives our users a 50GB mailbox A number of them are about to hit the 50Gb limits and we would like to add a Archive facility for them. Could some confirm what license we would need to add a archive for a user and also if there any limit to how big a archive mailbox can get to? Thanks
On-Prem Mailbox in Resources Domian with Online Archive in O365
Our setup is we have 2 domains: Domain A (User Domain) & Domain B (Resource Domain including Exchange Hybrid Servers). We also have Office 365 that Sync's with our user domainA and use's the UPN of that domain to connect to it. Our Users in Domain A have a UPN of user@mycompany.com. For our base users we create them a mailbox in Office 365 and that works fine by using Outlook. However when we have to create a mailbox in the Resource domain (for lower bandwidth sites) we create them on their local Hybrid Exchange 2013 Server. They remote users connect to their mailbox through Outlook by the use of a linked mailbox and use their LinkedmasterAccount credentials (DOMAINA\username). This works fine. Now it is company policy that due to low bandwidth any of the mail when they change roles \ jobs and move to back Office 365 we will delete their mail in their mailbox before we move it. However critical mail that they want to keep can be kept in their Online Archive. We create these 'hybrid' mailboxes with an Online Archive in O365. This will then be moved into their O365 mailbox after the move to access it as normal. The issue is when they are in this hybrid setup and their mailbox is on the Exchange Server. They cannot open their Online Archive through outlook. It states: "The set of folders cannot be opened. The attempt to log on to Microsoft Exchange has failed." My thinking is that due to the user's Outlook connecting to Exchange with the LinkedMasterAccount credentials, in the DOMAIN\username format, that it cannot logon to O365 to access the Online Archive as this needs to be their UPN username@mycompany.com. We know that we can't connect to the Mailbox on the Exchange Server with the UPN from Outlook as we are forced to use DOMAINA\username to logon to it and not use the UPN as this keeps on prompting for the password when we try. It doesn't seem to pass through the UPN of the user to open the Online archive so it can't connect to it. The user can however open OWA and see the online archive available so it isn't a permissions \ licensing issue. Can you confirm that this a supported setup for accessing an Online Archive. I haven't been able to find anything anywhere stating this setup. Can the mailbox location be at a resource Domain B and the Online Archive be in O365 which uses a UPN from the User Domain A to normally access it? Also if this is supported how can we get Outlook to logon to Office 365 with the UPN for the purpose of accessing the online archive?
