Exchange 2010 to 2013 Migration fails with “You cannot have ArchiveDomain set when archive is not enabled for this user”
I have previously done a Hybrid integration with Office 365 with my Exchange 2010 server and enabled Archiving online when I migrated my user to Exchange online but then I finished my demo and decided to bring the user back on-premises. Now I have deployed Exchange 2013 and wanted to migrate the same user to Exchange 2013 from 2010 but the migration request fails with the following message.

6/7/2015 1:25:18 PM [EXCH2K13] Fatal error UpdateMovedMailboxPermanentException has occurred.
On Exchange 2010, I launched Exchange Management shell and ran the following cmdlet which will show any attribute that has arch in it for the user Mohammed
Get-mailbox User | fl arch*
Since there’s no archive mailbox then the archive domain is invalid and I don’t even own it anymore as it has expired a while ago.
Resolution:
I will try to remove the archive domain object from the user’s properties using the following cmdlet
Set-mailbox mailboxname -ArchiveDomain $null
Using the above cmdlet seems to fail due to this property being administered by Exchange server so it’ll have to be removed manually.
I will open the user's attribute and delete the value and try to continue the migration again.
I'll click on Edit then Clear and OK
Migration finished successfully
Hope this helps
