#MSExchange
During migrations to Exchange 2010, we are also using a tool call Transvault to export data from Enterprise Vault in to Exchange. As you would expect this is a massive task. Originally we moved the data in to the primary mailbox, but with laptop rebuilds and slow links while syncing the data we switched Transvault to move the data in to an Exchange Personal Archive, and it works like a dream.
This results in me having to enable the personal archive for different users and as expected I scripted it and here it is. The help text at the top should explain everything you need to know .. Enjoy
