Usually, you get these messages because Exchange 2007 simply doesn't have information about such "RecipientTypeDetails". If you don't get such errors in Exchange 2013 Management Shell, you can simply ignore these messages.

The following video provides a similar example.

Hi,

I saw this issue few times in Exchange 2007 and Exchange 2010 or Exchange 2013 Coexistence environment. I searched around and investigate it in my lab, finally I found that this issue was due to the attribute msExchRecipientTypeDetails of the mailbox.

We can check the attribute msExchRecipientTypeDetails by the following steps:

1. Open ADSIEdit.msc, click Action on menu bar and choose Connect to.
2. Under Select a well known Naming Context field, choose Default naming context.
3. Navigate to Users, and choose one of mailboxes listed above.
4. Right click to properties, and find the attribute msExchRecipientTypeDetails.

When we use move request to move mailboxes, the move requests are processed by the following two services:

• Microsoft Exchange Mailbox Replication service
• Microsoft Exchange Mailbox Replication Proxy

And there's a sharing mechanism between all instances of Mailbox Replication Service so that no two servers will attempt to perform the same move request. So when moving mailboxes from Exchange 2007 to Exchange 2013, the Mailbox Replication Service will share some mailboxes from Exchange 2013 to Exchange 2007. Under your circumstances, I listed the following mailboxes(The valves of attribute msExchRecipientTypeDetails are in Exchange 2013):

DiscoverySearchMailbox {D919BA05-46A6-415f-80AD-7E09334BB852}      (msExchRecipientTypeDetails: 536870912)

SystemMailbox{bb558c35-97f1-4cb9-8ff7-d53741dc928c}                          (msExchRecipientTypeDetails: 8388608)

SystemMailbox{1f05a927-ad21-4b9b-bf84-687b2d66b105}                         (msExchRecipientTypeDetails: 8388608)

SystemMailbox{e0dc1c29-89c3-4034-b678-e6c29d823ed9}                         (msExchRecipientTypeDetails: 8388608)

FederatedEmail.4c1f4d8b-8179-4148-93bf-00a95fa1e042                             (msExchRecipientTypeDetails: 8388608)

Migration.8f3e7716-2011-43e4-96b1-aba62d229136                                    (msExchRecipientTypeDetails: 8388608)

The RecipientTypeDetails of objects in Exchange 2007 are listed in this blog:

http://blogs.technet.com/b/benw/archive/2007/04/05/exchange-2007-and-recipient-type-details.aspx

We can change the value of attribute msExchRecipientTypeDetails to <not set> to solve this issue or just ignore these errors because these mailboxes should not have been in Exchange 2007. And also I recommend you to run ExBPA to ensure that there is no error on Exchange 2013.

Best Regards.
