I 'm in the process of migrating our user mailboxes from Exchange 2003 to Exchange 2007 sp1. One of the users in last night's batch errored out with: Failed to copy messages to the destination mailbox store with error: An unknown error has occurred., error code: -1056749164 One user was moved from the same source database to the same destination database without issue. What I think is so weird, is that my move-mailbox command is really pretty routine. From my script: $users | move-Mailbox -TargetDatabase $mbox_name -BadItemLimit 40 - confirm:$false I see an earlier post here that was resolved with mismatched NIC/ switch settings, but that's ok. Also, any other results from google I've seen suggest other unrelated issues. I'm going to try a manual single move later today (once I get the needed approvals). But, in the mean time I thought I would ask. Thanks, Dan
Expanding the scope of my search out a bit, I also see some others who a reboot on the E2K7 server fixes all. But, there were migrations to that server before and after this one within the same batch. Weird. BTW - I guess I should have posted it to .admin. Forgive me, I'm new here. :-)
It's definatly an issue in the source mailbox. I've been running it manually, trying to go to other servers, etc. I'm about ready to try and export-mailbox to a .pst file and see if it is failing on a single message. Too bad I didn't have a 32bit install of the Exchange tools yet. :-( On Mar 28, 9:33 am, Daniel Holmes wrote: > Expanding the scope of my search out a bit, I also see some others who > a reboot on the E2K7 server fixes all.

I have seen that. That's a permissions error. It's caused by not having the permissions needed to export the mailbox. Assuming you are logged in and performing this as a domain administrator you need to run the following command against the mailbox you are trying to export from the exchange power shell: Add-MailboxPermission -Identity usermailbox -User administrator -AccessRights FullAccess Then export from the same power shell with: Export-Mailbox -Identity usermailbox -PSTFolderPath C:\usermailbox.pst "Daniel Holmes" wrote in message news:931efa8d-b283-4cdc-80b5-06c8de87bbd6@m3g2000hsc.googlegroups.com... >I 'm in the process of migrating our user mailboxes from Exchange 2003 > to Exchange 2007 sp1.

Thank you both. It turns out that the users have some sort of single item in their tasks folder, of all places. I tried doing a -ExcludeFolder but it didn't like that. Finaly, I broke out good ol' ExMerge, and removed her /Tasks folder. The move-mailbox completed successfully. I still haven't gotten around to installing that 32bit version.
