Exchange Online Archive and Single Item recovery

We are currently looking to implement online archiving in Exchange 2010.
From my perspective, we are doing it to relocate the older messages to some cheaper storage, while making primary mailbox sizes are little more manageable.
Management however, want to ensure that once an item is moved to the online archive that it cannot be permanently deleted until after a 7 year retention period (for discovery purposes).
Journaling isn't an option at this point..
We have an Archive RPT which moves the items to the users archive after 90 days.
We have another RPT which will Delete items from the Archive after 7 years (Delete no Recovery).
We then have "Keep deleted Items for", set to 30 Days on the Primary Mailbox Database.
and then have "Keep deleted Items for", set to 7 years (2555 Days) on the Archive Database(this is so that items are not immediately deleted if the user manually deletes from the archive).
Obviously with this setup, users will be able to purge items from the "Deletions" sub folder (Recover Deleted Items) if they want to remove it from the archive.
My understanding is that if I enable Single Item Recovery for everyone, then the items that the user might remove from the "Deletions" sub folder will be transparently moved to the "Purges" sub folder, and are therefore discoverable
if required, up until the retention period of each database (30 days for Primary mailbox, 7 years for archive).
This sounds like exactly what we are after.
Thus my questions;
Apart from the obvious storage implications of doing this (7 years is alot of email), are there any other issues\risks associated with going down this method for email retention?
Is there a better way of achieving what we are after? I dont suppose we could completely restrict deletion access to the users archive completely for example?
If a user was to drag an item back into their primary mailbox.. and then delete it before the Managed Folder Assistant moved it back to the archive.. Would that be a potential hole in the retention requirement?
Thanking you all in advance for your insight..

You may want to use Litigation Hold to have users unable to delete the item permanently.

I know it works on Active mailbox but not sure if the same attributes available for Archive Database. Just run the cmdlet and see if it can be done.

Exchange Online Archiving - Is there a way to also sync that to the PC too?

We are running Exchange 2010 and we have our remote users using the Online Archives. We now have a user in India who sometimes is without internet access so of course his archives are not accessible. We could remove him from the Online Archives and set him up with an old PST but then we lose the functionality of having his archived email backed up as well as the other benefits of online archiving. (granted he could back up his PST in case of HD failure but I am sure that will never happen. His internet speed is also limited in India so it would be too difficult to try and sync a PST back to a server somehow.) So I am just curious if anyone has ever found a way to sync an Online Archive locally or some up with some sort of work around for this? a plugin or a registry tweak.One option we kicked around was to create a 2nd mailbox for...

Online Archiving and Mailbox sharing exchange 2010

Hi Guys
is it possible to share a mailbox without sharing the online archive attached to it, the issue I'm having is that one of my users is sharing his mailbox with his PA, he happens to have a very large amount of subfolders under all his folders and not just
the inbox, this also includes his sent items and deleted items that have subfolders in them too, his PA happens to need access to these folders too. but with the online archive attached, the amount of subfolders connected appear to be more than outlook can
handle, and it throws an out of memory error and the user then has to restart outlook before being able to send any mails again. alternatively is there a way to share all the subfolders without painstakingly setting the permissions on each folder one by one.
Cheers

You can open the database where user mailbox is located in ExFolders and then add permission for Inbox folder and then propagate that permission to all subfolders.
This article is using PFDavAdmin but will help you to understand what you need to do via ExFolders on Exchange 2010...

Exchange 2010's "Online Archive" doesn't appear in Outlook 2010

Hi,
I recently installed Exchange 2010, and all is working fine but the online archive feature.
I activated it for 2 of my users, it appears correctly in OWA, but doesn't appear in Outlook 2010 (Tech Preview).
What I am missing ? The only howtos I found state that you only have to setup Outlook, and the main mailbox + the online archive will appear... But I just have the main mailbox.
If you've an idea... :)

I did some testing on this whole Personal Archive thing as even when using a new version and new license key the archive wasn’t showing in Outlook 2010 (yet was showing in OWA).
So I setup two machines (VMs) running Windows 7 Ultimate.
One was x64 and the other x86 but vanilla installs.
Installed Office 2010 Professional Plus download from TechNet (the iso image with both x86 and x64 versions on it).
Installed the lastest Office updates published via MS Update.
Used the same license key for both installs of Office.
Exchange 2010 backend running SP1.
When the machines are not in a domain the archive doesn’t show in Outlook (both x86 and x64).
Pop the machines into the same AD domain as the Exchange server and hey presto the archive shows on both Outlook versions (x86 and x64).
Just to check things I removed them from the domain - archive folder missing again.
Re-added back to domain - archive folder shows.
It seems for the TechNet version anyhow the machine should be in a domain.
I can’t comment on other versions/license keys.
Regards

Online Archive for Exchange 2007

Prior to upgrading to Exchange 2013 before end of year, we are currently undergoing a thorough cleanout of our Exchange 2007 environment. Sadly, we had some users with well over 100K items in their deleted items, so you can only imagine what the rest
of their mailboxes look like. While we implement proposed policies for Exchange, we need an online Exchange Archive (preferably free) to be as seemless as possible to the user, but something that can automatically move messages to the archive based
on whatever threshold we set: 3 months after delivery, 6 months after delivery, or whatever. We would also plan to import any errant PSTs into this archive.
I found
THIS article, but it only mentions a patch that we are well beyond. Is there anything in Exchange 2007 similar to the
archive in 2010?
Thanks,
Nelson

Hi,
In Exchange 2007, there is no online archive feature, this feature is available in Exchange 2010 or later.
If you want to keep items for some time, as a workaround, you can use the Export-Mailbox cmdlet in Exchange 2007 to export items to PST file.

Exchange 2010 Online Archiving - Folder Structure Incorrect

Greetings,
We have recently been enabling Exchange Archiving for various users with great success. I have one particular user that we have enabled it on, and it appears the Online Archive folder structure is not being generated when items are processed to be
archives. Items are being archive to the root of the Online Archive mailbox, where with other users, we notice that it create a folder that matches the same folder in the users primary mailbox and then moves the messages to that folder.
What would be causing this not to generate a folder structure that matches the folder structure on the users primary inbox? We have seen these successfully done on multiple users, but this particular users it is not working. As I stated above, all
archived e-mails are being stored in the root folder of the Online Archive Mailbox.
Any thoughts are greatly appreciated.
Cheers

Hi,
I would like to verify if you use the same method to enable online archive for these users.
I recommend you use the following cmdlet to enable online archive for this problematic user.
Enable-Mailbox [email protected] -RemoteArchive -ArchiveDomain "xxx.xxx.xxx"
What's more, you can use the Get-Mailbox alias -Archive | fl name,archive* to check the archive information.
Here is a helpful article for your reference.

Exchange 2010 Enterprise - Online Archive not visible in office 2013 professional plus and mailbox shared

Hi!
Outlook 2013 professional plus was working perfectly weeks ago, then out of nowhere new profiles doesn't have visible in Outlook the online archive and the shared mailboxes, however it shows up in OWA.
It was given full permission for those users with no results, online archive is enabled, profiles were already deleted and recriated.
The older profiles work perfectly.
We have the services ActiveSync, Autodiscover, Outlook Anywhere, OWA and they're all working with no errors.
Regards
Tiago Barradas

Hi Tiago,
From your description, OWA works work, so your Exchange server is ok.
I recommend you check the following thing for troubleshooting:
Please configure a mail profile with another user who has an Online Archive on that machine and check the result. If it works well, there is something with the problematic mailbox. If the issue persists, the issue is related to your Outlook.
Hope it helps.

Online Archives in Outlook 2010 disappeared after Exchange 2010 SP3 upgrade

I have Exchange 2010 and noticed it has never been updated since having it in production for 3 years now. So I downloaded SP3 and installed it after hours. After the install was complete, rollups 5,6,7, showed up in Windows Update so I installed those too.
Before I did the upgrade to SP3, I had Online Archives visible on just my user account mailbox and have about 2 years worth of emails in there. Since the upgrade, it is no longer visible in my Outlook 2010. I have tried to fix to remove SELF and re add it
to the mailbox with no change to the issue. I have tried to disable Archive for my mailbox and re-add. Nothing. Don't really know what else to try. Any ideas?

Anyone?

BlackBerry Enterprise Cloud Services - MS Exchange Online Plan 2 - Support for Legacy 7.1 Devices and Costs?

Hello.
All questions below relate to the MS Exchange Online Plan 2, and BlackBerry Enterprise Cloud Services (BBCS).
- How much does it cost to install the BBCS service?
- Is there support for legacy 7.1 BlackBerry devices?
I have searched online for these answers but I've been unsuccessful answering these two questions. I'm aware that BBCS is available
for the Exchange Online Plan 2 but I cannot confirm if there is a fee. Likewise, I've been unable to find out if legacy 7.1 OS BlackBerry devices are support on BBCS.
Many thanks.

Hi,
According to my known, this issue could be caused by Outlook cannot reach SCP so cannot get autodiscover.xml.Issue with creating folders caused by missing on TS following registry entry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Outlook\Namespaces\{0006F017-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}\FolderTypes
