In learning how in place archiving works, I've disabled that feature on a mailbox that had a good 3gb of emails in them. It appears that there is no simple menu to undo what I have done, so I am falling back to our backups which has the entire exchange installation backed up.
I've tried dismounting the current database, and of course disabling all exchange services, and replacing that mailbox database folder with the one I know has the archive in it, restarting all services, but the in place archive is not there.
I've checked locally where the .ost files are on that mailbox owners computer and there are no .pst archive files or anything that would make me think that was the in place archive.
So where is this in place archive stored and how can I recover it so that I can properly move those emails back to the main inbox?
Thanks.
