Any help please

by the looks of it, looks like an issue with the system mailbox or access to the exchange server.

can you do the following for us please

1. Run the deployment scanner and make sure it does not complain about Send / Receive Permissions
2. On the EV server, logged in as the EVadmin, create a profile to one of the users that is failing to enable
     - Can you log on to the account with out being prompted for username and password? (if it prompts, then you have permissions problems)
3. Can you make sure that the EV System Mailbox for that archiving task is located on that exchange server?
    - i.e. if you have mailserver1.mydomain.com, the ev sys mailbox must be hosted on that machine, not another exchange server
4. Try using a different mailbox as the system mailbox as a test
5. Try using a different retention category than the one you have selected to be the default

also what version of Exchange are you running against, and what version of outlook is installed on the server?

Dear JesusWept2,

Thank a lot for your support, and really thinks for your reply,

Actully this problem was solved yesterday,
Reason for this prolem was errors in customer Global Catalog server GC,  After Microsoft team fix GC issue in the customer side,
Then EV Synchnronization and Archiving for all mailboxes works fine, and till now I didnt get errors.- Thanks God
