Archiving of some mailboxes stop occasionally - COM exception synchronising folder permissions
Exchange 2010 SP3 UR14 (2 Multiroll members in a DAG), EV 12.0.3
From time to time archiving of around about 5 to 10 (always the same mailboxes) of 400 mailboxes stops until the corresponding archiving task gets restarted. Archiving report simple shows: Completed: no eligible items and in addition to that it shows initial count of mailbox items = 0 while at the same time initial size is filled.
Tracing the archiving process gives us the following error:

Using a Kemp Loadbalancer. Issue is happening independent from the active DAG member. Working around the loadbalancer does not change anything. DS Server key is set. affected mailboxes seem to be stored on different exchange databases. Eventlogs does not contain any errors.
Any Idea about why it always fails on the same mailboxes? Anything specific we could check for the mailboxes?
We kind of sorted this out by working around the loadbalancer. Even though it seemed to not work at the beginning it's working now since a few weeks without any issue.
