Hello,
I'm having a bit of a time trying to get archives moved from an older deployment of EV to our newer deployment. I've already checked with the company that produces Archive Shuttle and was told that would probably be overkill for our environment. So now I'm looking into using the EV Archive Move feature, which according to my research should work between versions 8, 9, 10. Problem I'm having is that our EV 8 version pre-dates SP4 which is apparently when the Archive Move feature was implemented and so far I haven't been able to track down a download of SP4. I was able to go back through some of my records and found our serial number for version 9.05, so I downloaded that, got everything prepped and when I went through the deployment scanner, much to my chagrin, I was informed that 9.05 will only run on server 2008 R2 64 bit and higher (our EV 8 server is running a 32 bit version of 2003).
So I guess I'm trying to find out what my options are. We only have about 40 mailboxes on the version 8 server, that totals out to about 50GB so I feel like it should be a pretty simple process once I can get everything lined up.
Do I need to keep working on obtaining EV 8 SP4 (is it even compatible for 32 bit server OS?) or should I look into upgrading the windows version of our current EV 8 system? The latter option sounds a bit more intimidating since I would be going from a 32 bit OS to a 64, with the enterprise vault system in place.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
