Hello Geir.
What is the version of EV? What the bandwidth between the EV-sites?
I see you tried 'move archive'. An inter-site move using 'move archive' should be sufficient.
Are the Exchange servers in 1 site?
If they are, you can remove them from Aberdeen as target, and add them to Stavanger as target.
What you might do (but that depends on the size of the archives, bandwidth etc.) is disable everyone in aberdeen exchange for archiving, export all archives back into exchange, add aberdeen exchange-servers to stavanger site, enable everyone in aberdeen for archiving in stavanger (provisioning etc), then have them get NEW archives in stavanger.
Or, export all aberdeen archives to pst's, copy them to stavanger, import pst's into archives.
Obviously, you should remove the shortcuts (if you use these) from the aberdeen mailboxes before re-archiving. (otherwise you get double shortcuts pointing to different archives)
Or (although you are a symantec employee ;-)) check Archive Shuttle from GlassHouse. There are some other tools also available.
There might be other options, but this is what comes into mind.

Hi,
Take a look at Archive Shuttle - http://www.glasshouse.com/evtools/archive_shuttle it will help you in the migration and should make it seamless ;)

HI geir_aasarmoen
I am not Sales Manager...but have used TransVault for similar projects in the past to Merge more than two sites into 1 for Enterprise Vault.
If you do not wish to use third party tool then your options are going to be move archive or export/import of PST.
The third part tool mentioned above made the migration painless....
