    first of all, like JW said, you need to disable them because they've already been provisioned so simply removing them from the group isnt going to change anything. you might want to set the tasks in report mode and disable the archiving schedules so the users can still get to their old shortcuts until you've completed the migration.

    my vote is always for a 3d party tool but if you want some additional considerations then: how many archives and how much data you do have in terms of TB and number of messages? also, do you have journal data that needs to be migrated or just individual mailbox archives?

what i would do is
1. Disable the users in the EV9 environment
2. Provision and enable them in EV10
3. Delete the Archiving tasks for the exchange servers in EV9
4. Use "Move Archive" to move from the old environment to the new environment.

Depending on the amount of users you have to move, you may have it suggested to use a third party migration product , a list of partner products can be found here:
