*RTFM* Sigh.
-ArchiveTargetDatabase. Obviously. I can see why they've done that, mind you. From: Sobey, Richard A Sent: 17 December 2012 17:21 To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: Can't move personal archive to specific database Hi all, Exchange 2010 SP2 RU3. I'm trying to move just my archive to a new database. When I created the archive, I was allowed to choose which database it was stored on. But, what's the problem with this? I'd have thought it a perfectly reasonable thing to try to do: [PS] C:\scripts\ps>New-MoveRequest username -ArchiveOnly -TargetDatabase db054 You can't specify the TargetDatabase and ArchiveOnly parameters together. + CategoryInfo : InvalidArgument: (username:MailboxOrMailUserIdParameter) [], RecipientTaskException + FullyQualifiedErrorId : 2971C593 In future, if I wanted to move all personal archives to databases/servers specifically designed to host archives, this isn't possible without moving the mailbox too, then moving the mailbox back? (It is allowed to specify the TargetDatabase parameter with PrimaryOnly.) Or, is Microsoft assuming that you must allow the MRS to choose an appropriate database based on the provisioning settings configured?
