Hwawŏn What it does
This function will get users from a specific database, ensure they are Exchange 2010 users, and enable the online archive while spreading the users across four separate databases.

ConnectAD and ConnectExchange to load these modules remotely rather than depend on having the tools installed locally.

#Connect to Active Directory and load modules function ConnectAD { $session = New-PSSession -ComputerName $dc Invoke-Command -Session $session -ScriptBlock {Import-Module ActiveDirectory} Import-PSSession -Session $session -Module ActiveDirectory } #Connect to Exchange and load modules function ConnectExchange { $exch = New-PSSession -ConfigurationName Microsoft.Exchange -ConnectionUri http://$exchangefqdn/powershell -name Exchange Import-PSSession $exch } |
Load the modules (AD and Exchange), unless they have already been loaded.

#Load modules if(!(Get-PSSession | ?{$_.ComputerName -like "$dc*"}) -and $askoncepersessionmodules -ne 1) { $global:askoncepersessionmodules = 1 cls write-host "Connecting to Active Directory, and Exchange. Please wait..." -f yellow; ConnectAD ConnectExchange } |
We need to set our variables.

# Domain controller FQDN $dc = "dc.domain.local" # Exchange FQDN $exchangefqdn = "exch.domain.local" # Online Archive databases $databases = "DB1", "DB2", "DB3", "DB4" # Your full Exchange version. If you don't know, type (get-mailbox user).ExchangeVersion $exchangeversion = "0.10 (14.0.100.0)" |
We’re now ready to enable the online archive.

#Enable online Archive by Database function EnableOnlineArchive { $count = 0 $mbdbs = Get-MailboxDatabase foreach($mbdb in $mbdbs) { $users = get-mailbox -database $mbdb.name foreach($user in $users) { write-host enable-mailbox $user.alias -Archive -ArchiveDatabase $databases[$count] $count++ if($count -eq 4) { $count = 0; } } } } |
