View products that this article applies to.

Symptoms

Consider the following scenario:
  • You configure Microsoft Exchange Online Archiving on your on-premises Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 organization that has Exchange Server 2010 Service Pack 1 or a later-version update rollup installed.
  • You create a retention policy, and then apply the policy to a user’s primary mailbox in the on-premises Exchange organization.
  • You enforce the retention policy to be processed on the on-premises primary mailbox by running the Start-ManagedFolderAssistant cmdlet.
  • You try to enforce the retention policy to be processed on the cloud-based archive mailbox by running the Start-ManagedFolderAssistant cmdlet in a remote Windows PowerShell session.
In this scenario, the cmdlet fails. Additionally, you receive the following error message:
WARNING: An unexpected error has occurred and a Watson dump is being generated: Value cannot be null.
