Hi All,
For example, i have domain\userA in past year, somehow we didnt delete, now, when another user have same name, the ev didnt enable those mailbox archive,
We didnt notice that , and follow the symantec KB change the vaule HKLM\SOFTWARE\KVS\Enterprise Vault\Agents\SynchInMigrationMode to 1 (already change back to 0)
now, we have 3 user have that problem,
I want to divide those leaft user and current user in mail archive.
I have disabled those mailbox for those user in EV, but If i enable again, EV dont know creaate new archive, they keep use the old mail archive
my question is what is the method to divide back into 2 mail archive,
I tried to restore the message in user mailbox( user login outlook and we help to click restore item in Outlook) , but 1 of them have too many folder and too many item, If i click 1000 item restore, the outlook is going to hang and the message is say planning to archive but cannot finish
second method
export all old email from mail archive into PST and create a new mail archive and import into it, delete those old email in archive
(but i cannot find a button to create a mailbox archive and delete email)

If you dont require the old user, you can delete that user from AD first.
Use Export Archive wizard to export all archived items to PST file, while doing so, you get option to delete archived items from the that archive. You need to check that box and complete the export.
Once all archived items are exported to PST file, you can delete the archive. You might need to restart the Storage Service. There are several factors which can restrict the deletion of archive and archived items, such as retention, backup mode of vault store etc.
Run the provisioning task in report mode, and enable the NEW required user, which will create an archive for that user. (Assuming archive task is running)
Once archive is created, you can import the exported archived items from PST file.
I hope this helps..

While selecting All items instead you need to select from folder path and enter root "\" which will include all archived emails, just below that you have option to delete archived items after export.

Yes it is possible to keep the restored one, EV Archived email is nothing but the Shortcut.

everytime when I try to restore more than 200 item in 1 time (using outlook 2010), then cannot restore have eroro the selected item cannot be restore

Well outlook is not meant to bulk restore...if you want to restore everything back to original mailbox, best way is to export archive to mailbox. And use steps given in above technotes to delete archived items from archive and setup orphan shortcut deletion to delete shortcuts from mailbox..

I had recreate a new mail archive for those user, howerver, the auto mail archive task will not auto archive those restore mail, any ideas?

It is because the Modified Date gets reset when you restore an item back to mailbox. Check the modified date of those restored item and compare it with your Mailbox policy setting to see if date falls under archiving criteria.
