EV2007/EV8: export archive to PST and shortcuts/stubs deletion.

This issue has been solved. See solution.

Hi everybody,

I want to migrate archives from an EV2007 environment to a new EV8 environment without using 3rd party tools.
The two environments are not connected to each other.

I created a new provisioning group in EV2007 to which I connected a policy which deletes my shortcuts. Membership of this new provisioning group is through an Active Directory Group. The provisioning group which is already present has as a target the whole Exchange organization and a policy connected to it which doesn't delete any shortcuts. To my knowledge it is impossible to have a user connected to both this provisioning groups or not?

When I run the archive task, it doesn't delete my shortcuts, my guess this has to do with the fact that my test user gets both policies.
Does anyone have any experience with how to solve this issue???

My intention was to after shortcut deletion, export to pst from ev2007 and then import in ev8 with the option create shortcuts, which works perfect in my test environment.

So my question is how to delete the shortcuts without changing the Target (whole exchange organization) in the original provisioning group?

Any help is much appreciated.

The Provisioning Group which

The Provisioning Group which has the highes rank applies.
To apply your new group, you have to move it up at a higher rank than the one which applies to the whole org.

OK,

I tried it out, but no luck.

I can see in the logs that both policies are applied and that my testaccounts gets processed.

I set the shortcut deletion to delete my shortcuts after 1 day in the highest rank policy, but no luck.

The shortcut deletion log tells me:
No of archived items where no action required = 4 (the number of shortcuts in my testmailbox.)

What am I doing wrong?
