Configure Exchange Online Archiving


Applies to: Exchange Server 2010 SP2
Microsoft Exchange Online Archiving is a cloud-based, enterprise-class archiving solution for your Exchange Server 2010 Service Pack 2 (SP2) or Exchange Server 2010 Service Pack 1 (SP1) on-premises organization. With Exchange Online Archiving, your organization can host your users’ primary mailboxes on your on-premises servers and store their historical e-mail data in Exchange Online archive mailboxes. This solution can help your organization with archiving, compliance, regulatory, and e-discovery challenges, while simplifying your on-premises infrastructure.
To learn more about the advantages of Exchange Online Archiving, download Microsoft Exchange Online Archiving: Service Description, available on the Microsoft Download Center as part of the Office 365 for Enterprise Service Descriptions.
The following are general requirements for configuring Exchange Online Archiving.
  • You must purchase an Exchange Online Archiving subscription for the Exchange Online service included with Microsoft Office 365. For more information, see Exchange Online Archiving subscription.
  • Your users’ primary mailboxes must be hosted on either on-premises Exchange 2010 SP2 or Exchange 2010 SP1 Mailbox servers.
  • If your on-premises organization is running Exchange 2010 SP2, you will configure a full hybrid deployment using the Hybrid Configuration wizard. For more information, see Configure Exchange Online Archiving with Exchange Server 2010 SP2 later in this topic. 
  • If your on-premises organization is running Exchange 2010 SP1, you must configure a subset of steps required for a hybrid deployment between your on-premises organization and Office 365. For more information, see Configure Exchange Online Archiving with Exchange Server 2010 SP1 later in this topic.
  • Users must use Outlook 2010, Outlook 2007 SP2, or Outlook Web App to access the cloud-based archive mailbox.

    To use Office 2010 or Office 2007 with Exchange Online Archiving, you must configure your users' computers to support Office 365. For more information, seeManually update and configure desktops for Office 365.
After Exchange Online Archiving is deployed in your organization, there are several management tasks you can perform. Managing Exchange Online archives is very similar to managing personal archives (also called on-premises archives).
For a list of management procedures, see Managing Archives. To learn more about personal archives, see Understanding Personal Archives.
