Hi All, I'm moving 5 large mailboxes (10GB to 12GB) from one exchange server (server 2003) to another (server 2003) in the same LAN. I'm doing the move via powershell. Get-Content "C:\users.txt" | Get-Mailbox | Move-Mailbox -TargetDatabase "server\SG\EDB" -confirm:$False -ErrorAction silentlyContinue -MaxThreads 5 Four mailboxes have moved successfully but one is stuck at the end. The progressbar, displayed in powershell, is at the end but it still states "Moving messages. Calendar (127824/2101)". This has been in this state for several hours and the values have not changed at all. What could be holding this from completing? How can I cancel the move without corrupting the mailbox? Can I force it to complete? I'm not sure what to do I have never seen this problem before. Thanks! EDIT - Nothing stands out in the event logs. v/r LikeToCode....Mark the best replies as answers.

Cancelling it might Cause issue some times. There is now way to force it and make it to complete. Take PST Backup and Cancel it. Mostly it won't corrupt the mailbox Decision is yoursSatheshwaran Manoharan | Exchange 2003/2007/2010 | Blog:http://www.careexchange.in | Please mark it as an answer if it really helps you

If it is still at the moving stage, then cancelling the move is not going to cause any problems. Move mailboxe is robust like that. However a calendar folder with 120,000 items in it is going to cause some problems and some cleanup is required. Sounds like some duplication might have taken place, because 120,000 items is 125 years worth of appointments one an hour during the work day of a standard year. Simon.

Hi, Yes, you can terminated the move mailbox task. Since only one user have this issue, you can just move the mailbox by pst file, use export-mailbox command or Outlook to do that. If you want to troubleshoot the issue, you can move the affected mailbox using -verbose swith and -reportfile switch, this may give you more detail information about why this move request stuck.
