Decommissioning an Archive Store
You can decommission an old Archive Store so that messages can no longer be archived to it, or so that the archived messages in the Archive Store cannot be accessed at all.
Making an Archive Store read-only
You may want to make an Archive Store read-only so that users can access the archived messages, but no further archives can be created in it.
For example, you may want to do this if the store contains very old messages that are not frequently accessed; you could move the store to cheaper storage with no noticeable impact on your end users.
Note that you cannot make a store writeable once you have made it read-only.
To make an Archive Store read-only:
- Use the Archive Rules tab to ensure that no rules are set to archive to the store.
- On the Maintenance tab, right-click the Archive Store and click Properties.
- Select the Make store read-only check box and click OK.
If you make an Archive Store read-only and it is used by an Archive Rule, an alert is displayed in the Alerts tab, and the Archive Store name is shown in red next to the rule in the Archive Rules tab. You cannot run a rule if its Archive Store is read-only.
Making an Archive Store inaccessible
You may want to 'decommission' an Archive Store so that the messages can no longer be accessed.
To do this:
- Use the Archive Rules tab to ensure that no rules are set to archive to the store.
- On the Maintenance tab, right-click the Archive Store and click Detach.
If you detach a store without re-attaching it and it is used by a rule, an alert is displayed in the Alerts tab, and Store not found is displayed in the Archive Rules tab next to the rule. You cannot run a rule if its Archive Store has been detached.
If a user opens a message that was archived to the detached Archive Store, a placeholder is displayed.
