Move active archive to different EV site

[ashks2014]

Can this be done? The user mailbox was moved to an Exchange server in another site. Can't move the archive as it says the archive is still associated with a mailbox that has archiving enabled. I can't disable it as the mailbox is now on an Exchange server archived in a different site. Can't do a zap either for the same reason.

Is there a way around this? It's a very large archive so PST export isn't realistic.

Can anyone help?

this should help

Move Archive error: "You cannot add the following archive because it is associated with an archiving enabled mailbox."

Sounds like you might have to export to pst on a location on the EV server and re import it onto the user's mailbox

Thanks but the AD Account isn't disabled. CAn i run this SQL to force EV to update the status of the mailbox to disabled?

[AndrewB]

correct, that's the point

Does this require a reboot of the EV server?

[AndrewB]

no it doesn't

Thanks, this has worked and archive moved. Really appreciate your help.
