Can't check ArchiveStatus for mailbox - if-statement

Question

I am building a script that'll check if ArchiveStatus for an Office 365 mailbox is active or not. I am able to pull the data, but my if/else statement doesn't seem to work. This is what I have so far:
$Data = Get-Mailbox -Identity "MailboxName" | ft name,*Archive*
$Data
if ($_.ArchiveStatus -eq $true) {
Write-Host "Archive Enabled"
} else{
Write-Host "Archiving Disabled"
}
No matter what mailbox I search up, the result is always "Archiving Disabled" even if the console shows user enabled.

Answer 1

The current object variable ($_) is only available in a pipeline context. Your if statement is outside a pipeline, so $_ doesn't exist, meaning that $_.ArchiveStatus evaluates to $null, which is interpreted as $false in the comparison.
Change this:
$Data = Get-Mailbox -Identity "MailboxName" | ft name,*Archive*
$Data
if ($_.ArchiveStatus -eq $true) {
Write-Host "Archive Enabled"
} else {
Write-Host "Archiving Disabled"
}
into this:
$Data = Get-Mailbox -Identity "MailboxName"
$Data | ft name,*Archive*
if ($Data.ArchiveStatus -eq $true) {
Write-Host "Archive Enabled"
} else {
Write-Host "Archiving Disabled"
}
and the problem should disappear.

So I was able to figure it out with help from #Ansgar Wiechers. The -eq $true wasn't working because it was either Active or None. When i created the variable for this it worked. The working code is below:
$Data = Get-Mailbox -Identity "MailboxName"
$Data | ft name, ArchiveStatus
$Status = "Active"
if($Data.ArchiveStatus -eq $Status) {
Write-Host "Archive Enabled"
} Else {
Write-Host "Archiving Disabled"
}
Thank you for your help!!
