What's best practice for re-creating a mailbox and re-assigning old archive pls?
Hello,
We have a permissions problem with a Exchange mailbox and the easiest solution would be to delete the mailbox and create a new one.
On the Exchange part, we'd export its contents to a PST file (incl the EV shortcuts), then delete the mailbox, create a new mailbox (not attach the old one) and import the PST. We wouldn't delete the AD user account.
But what's the best practice for the EV side if we want to keep transparent access to the old archive?
When we create the new mailbox, provision and enable it in EV, would EV :
- automatically link the old archive with the new mailbox;
- display all the old archived messages via AE in the new mailbox;
- allow all the PST-imported shortcuts to work?
Or would it create a completely new archive for the new mailbox and make all the PST-imported shortcuts invalid?!
Thanks in advance,
- Alan.

Hi Alan, If this is just for
Hi Alan,
If this is just for one (or a handful of) user, the easiest way would be to do what you suggested with Exchange.
As for the Enterprise Vault part for linking the old archive to the new mailbox, all you need to do is manually enable them, then as part of the enablement process, you can select an existing Archive. ;)
If it is for loads of mailboxes, then you have two options to make your life easier. You can use SyncInMigrationMode reg-key or use EVPM to relink the new mailboxes to the old Archives.
