Use the Test-ArchiveConnectivity cmdlet to verify archive functionality for a mailbox user.
Syntax
Test-ArchiveConnectivity -UserSmtp <SmtpAddress>
[-Confirm [<SwitchParameter>]] [-WhatIf
[<SwitchParameter>]]
|
Detailed Description
Running the Test-ArchiveConnectivity cmdlet validates connectivity to a user’s archive mailbox. End-to-end verification includes testing whether an on-premises or cloud-based archive is provisioned for the on-premises mailbox user and whether it’s enabled and logging on to the archive mailbox on behalf of the user. Successful completion of the command indicates that processes such as the Managed Folder Assistant and Outlook Web App are able to successfully access the archive mailbox.
To test connectivity to a user’s archive mailbox in the user’s context, use the Test-OutlookConnectivity cmdlet with the Archive switch.
