Problem
One or more mailboxes will not archive during an archive run, this effects both manual and scheduled runs.
The event viewer will display Event IDs 8390, 8391 and 2270 in succession during an archive run of an enabled mailbox in Enterprise Vault. These will occur during manual or scheduled archive task run. The underlying problem is often a “looping” folder-structure.

Solution
There are two possible solutions to correct this issue. Both options are listed below.
Solution 1:
The first is to ‘zap’ the user’s mailbox. This is accomplished via EVPM and then re-enabling the users mailbox. For detailed instructions please see the below steps:
1. Locate the associated mailbox listed in Event ID 2270.
2. ‘Zap’ the applicable mailbox illustrated in 000028255
3. Re-enable the mailbox for Archiving.
4. Manually attempt a mailbox archive action.
Solution 2:
The second method of correction is a more involved process. It requires that the archives experiencing these events are exported to PST and then imported back into EV. Below there is a high-level list of steps to correct these events. If more information is needed click on the step for a detailed explanation:
a) Verify that the export completed successfully
b) Rename the archive and refresh the VAC view to make sure it is successfully renamed

Section A: BEFORE re-importing the PST, it is recommended that the shortcuts are deleted in the user’s mailbox, to avoid duplicate shortcuts in the mailbox

a) Search in all folders for messages with a message class of
IPM.Note.EnterpriseVault.Shortcut.
b) To do this open
Advanced find and click the
Advanced tab
c) Select the Field drop down box and choose

2. The results displayed by the Search Window are archived items that will have been exported to the PST in the first step. Ensure that there is an Exchange backup of the mailbox and then delete all the items in the Search result window.
3. Ensure that there is a copy of the PST that was exported in step 1 and then import it into the new archive. It is imperative that the option to create shortcuts in the mailbox is selected. As the duplicates are removed from the PST, there will only be one copy of each archived item shortcut in the mailbox and one copy of each archived item in the archive.
