Greetings, We have EXCHANGE 2010 SP1 about 1200 users. When we migrated from NOVELL GROUPWISE 8 , we had to provide archives for a smooth transition. For legal reasons, we wish to disable archives for many users, but need the ability to re-enable if needed with the data available. So if we use t

Oh blimey. I paraphrase: "This mailbox database contains one or more mailboxes, arbitration mailboxes or archives." It then goes on to explain how to move archive/arbitration mailboxes, or disable/remove them. I got the same error whether I tried to uninstall the Mailbox role or remove the data

We have about 2,400 mailboxes and see a growth of about 10 GB / week. The amount of mailboxes has been stagnant for the past 2 years so we consider this normal growth. We do have "limits" and see a typical pattern of 10 % of the mailboxes occupying almost 50% of the space. Steven Alfano Sr. S

Please don't use your production active directory as a test-bed. Running a couple of virtual machines is SO easy now. There is no "proper guide", unfortunately. At least not yet. And removing the "first Exchange 2010 server" can be painful. To answer your specific question, though:
