Problem with Archive not moving old emails to in archive (Retention Policy)

The problem when you assign a retention policy and, enable an in-place archive and do not move the old emails in the archive is that RetentionHold is allowed and must be turned off!

  1. Connect to Exchange via PowerShell: #Change to your email before run script

Import-Module ExchangeOnlineManagement
Connect-ExchangeOnline -UserPrincipalName support@bartosha.com -ShowProgress $true

Set-ExecutionPolicy -Scope Process -ExecutionPolicy Bypass

2) Connect to Exchange via PowerShell: #Change to your email before run script

Set-Mailbox ‘support@bartosha.com‘ -RetentionHoldEnabled $false

+

Start-ManagedFolderAssistant ‘support@bartosha.com

#Wait 24-48 hours, and moving all old emails to the archive will be done after that.
