Native Archiving Features
With Exchange 2010, Microsoft introduced basic archiving features natively. Figure 1.7
shows the archiving feature enabled.
The native archiving feature of Exchange 2010 allows an administrator to create an
archive mailbox for each user; content can be moved automatically via policies or manu-
ally by end users. Here are a few caveats about Microsoft’s native archiving features:
Access to the archive is online only, there is no support for synchronizing the archive

data for offline use.
No automated PST ingestion tools are currently available.

The initial release of Exchange 2010 had no ability to store archive data in a different

database or on different storage than the primary mailbox. Exchange 2010 Service
Pack 1 introduced the ability to store the archive on a seperate database or even host
the archive in the cloud.
Archiving policies may not be as granular as some third-party solutions.

Removing attachments and storing them elsewhere (“stubbing”) is not available.
