Are you sure you want to perform this action?

[Y] Yes [A] Yes to All [N] No [S] Suspend ?
"Opening source mailbox....."
Errors that I've encountered so far:
Failed to set basic mailbox information.
Mailbox was created as a "linked-mailbox" what is a linked-mailbox?
A linked mailbox is a mailbox in a seperate trusted forest.
How to convert a linked-mailbox to a regular mailbox?
Set-Mailbox UserXX -Type Room
You can use the following values for the Type parameter:
- Regular
- Room
- Equipment
- Shared
Give the server time to process the new mailbox (especially) in my case where the new Exchange server have not been in use for a few months...just sitting there.

Hi .. i will require to move across exchange server 2007 mailboxes to a new forest & this post is really useful.
ReplyDeleteI just need 1 clarification . As I would be performing an inter-forest migration using ADMT to move resources to a new forest . Do we move the exchange mailboxes before we move user accounts to the new forest (usint ADMT with SID history)
I appreciate if you could help me out.
thanks
i am doing exactly the same thing, thanks for the post. i think you migrate the users by admt and then do the exchange migration which adds the MX attributes to the migrated user object.
