Auto-Expand Online Archive

If a user's Online Archive is nearly full (100 GB max), run the following command in Powershell to switch their archive to auto-expanding:


1. Enable Exchange Administrator Role in PIM

2. Open Powershell as an Administrator and Run the following commands:

  • Install-Module -Name ExchangeOnlineManagement -RequiredVersion 2.0.5

    - If Prompted, "Yes to All"

  • Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted
  • Import-Module ExchangeOnlineManagement

3. Close Powershell

4. Open a regular instance of Powershell (NOT ADMINISTRATOR) and run the following command:

  • Connect-ExchangeOnline

5. Log into your Administrator Account and then run the following command:

    - Ex. Enable-Mailbox dianabel.perez@civicfs.com -AutoExpandingArchive

6. Confirm that the Auto-Expanding Archive is Active:

    - Ex. Get-Mailbox dianabel.perez@civicfs..com | FL AutoExpandingArchiveEnabled

You can also confirm that the Auto Expanding Archive is active by checking the user's archive size in the Exchange Admin Center. If it is active, their max archive size will now be 110GB.
