Good Day!

Have Accidentally disabled In-Place Archive of user's mailbox.

After reconnecting, Archive is empty.

After some investigations I've discovered, what there is three disabled Archive mailboxes. One Of them - is the necessary one. But when I try to connect it to the mailbox in ECP, get a message:


LegacyDN "/o=domain/ou=Exchange Administrative Group (FYDIBOHF23SPDLT)/cn=Recipients/cn=userf015a331" "b6f10f5f-3e99-41d0-9f0e-ada6e8a1a776" The following user in Active Directory is using this LegacyDN: "UserDisplayName". The value of LegacyDN must be unique for each user.


There is All what I've found:

$dbs | foreach {Get-MailboxStatistics -Database $.DistinguishedName} | where {$.DisconnectReason -eq "Disabled"} | Format-List DisplayName,MailboxGuid,LegacyDN,Database,Guid,When*,DisconnectDate,lastlogontime

This one - is the right one: MailboxGuid : b6f10f5f-3e99-41d0-9f0e-ada6e8a1a776

    Dont use ECP, use powershell:

    Enable-mailbox -identity <alias of user> -ArchiveGUID <archiveMailboxGuid> -ArchiveDatabase <archiveDB> -Archive
