Cross Forest Migration Batch Failed (Network Steve Forum)

Cross Forest Migration Batch Failed

I'm trying to run a cross forest migration batch. I've ran the prepare-moverequest.ps1 and then ADMT the account over to the new forest. I then proceed to start the batch it fails with a very generic error after maybe 20 seconds. I should mention this is from Exchange 2013 CU7 to Exchange 2013 CU7, and this worked prior to that update.

I found this forum with a similar error but trying different users or browsers did not fix my issue.

I've also tested the endpoints.

I've have done cross forest mailbox move sucessfully prior to installing CU7. I've found this site to also help troubleshoot http://blogs.technet.com/b/shahnawaz/archive/2014/05/29/part-ii-cut-over-migration.aspx

I followed step 10 but can't get the following powershell commands to work since it never gets to the migration.

Get-MigrationStatistics | fl
Get-Migrationuser identity <userfailingmigration> | fl
Get-MigrationUserStatistics -id <userfailingmigration> | fl
Get-MigrationUserStatistics -id <userfailingmigration> -diagnostic | fl
Get-MigrationUserStatistics -id <userfailingmigration> -includereport | fl

I'm sure I'll have to open a microsoft case to get this resolved.

Hi,

According to your description, I understand that cannot migrate mailbox database cross-forest and return an error An unknown error occurred while processing this migration batch
If I misunderstand your concern, please do not hesitate to let me know.

I want to double confirm whether all account or some special user's mailbox migration experience this question.

Unfortunately, I cant find any similar article about failure code -2146233088. However, I want to double confirm whether they can review or check user availability for each forest.
If no, please try to double check the trust relationship. Meanwhile, try to re-build the trust and try again.

Additional, please try to increase the diagnostic logging levels to get more details about this issue. More details about Troubleshooting Mailbox Moves, for your reference:

Allen Wang

I have noticed that on the mailbox server that a service is crashing during the move.

The Microsoft Exchange Service Host service terminated unexpectedly. It has done this 1 time(s). The following corrective action will be taken in 5000 milliseconds: Restart the service.

I would say this maybe a root cause of it failing, now to figure out why it crashes.
