Exporting Symantec Archive to Exchange archive mailbox

Hi, so I recently created an archive mailbox for myself on Exchange. Is it possible to export my Symantec archive directly to the Exchange archive? or do I need to export it to my main mailbox and then use a retention policy to move the email to my archive?

  • Best method would be to export to PST and then import into the Archvie mailbox.

  • if this just a one-off then sure you can do it the way you suggested or how witsend suggested is probably cleaner. if you need to do it on a large scale i'd recommend looking into migration tools which is something we have a lot of experience with and can discuss offline if applicable.

  • Yes, Andy was referring to third-party tools, like our Archive Shuttle.

  • Ah.. so the vault doesn't recognize archive mailboxes when going to export? Darn.. that's going to take muuuuch longer considering my archive is huge..

     

    Thanks!

  • Migration tools? I'm guessing third party? There is a Migration tool but it looks like it's an importer.
