Is it possible to script a Move Archive operation ?

[PaTryptik]

Hi,

We finally determined that the proper procedure to move a user's mailbox and vault is the following:

1. Disable Archiving for the mailbox on the source EV server.
2. Remove the user account from the AD group used for provisioning on the source EV server.
3. Move the Exchange mailbox to the destination Exchange server.
4. Add the user account to the AD group used for provisioning on the destination EV server.
5. Run the Provisioning task on the destination EV server.
6. Enable Archiving for the mailbox.
7. Synchronize all update details on the mailbox.
8. Move the vault with the Move Archive utility.

I know how to perform by script/command line the steps 2, 3 and 4.  However, is it possible to script the execution of steps 1, 5, 6, 7, and 8 ?

The reason I'm asking this is that we're developing web tools for our support analysts so they can easily create and delete user accounts with all the related resources (mailbox, vault, home drive, OCS pool, etc.).  But we also need to develop something to automate the move of users between regions/servers, but for now we don't know if it's possible to do so with EV tasks.  We're using EV 8.0.4.1991.

Thanks for any help provided.

1, 6: This is possible using EVPM

5, 7, 8: Not possible AFAIK

#8 is possible but its tricky and definitely not supported

FWIW I really hope that this all becomes powershell-scriptable-soon.  It would be great.
