    Hello Russianro.

    Can you explain your setup a bit more,and what you do exactly? Are you also moving exchange version?

    In theorie, and I am not familiar with EV5...

    What you can do (without going through the updates) is the following:

    make sure that the users are no longer archived from the EV5 server. Zap all mailboxes. In the mailboxes, remove all Enterprise Vault 5.0 shortcuts. Export the archives to PST.

    enable the users for archiving in the EV10 server. Make sure archives get created. Import PST's in the archives, selecting the option to create shortcuts in the mailbox. Or, import the pst's into the mailboxes, and let EV10 archive from there.

    I assume from your short entry that the shortcuts in the users mailboxes are pointing to the old archives, because they are the old shortcuts. If the above steps prove to be taking long, you might want to check a 3rd party tool (we use TransVault , which is good) to migrate the data.
