Hey,

I want to move a mailbox database from a broken server to a new server in a new domain.

We are already using the new server and I am wondering if I can merge the databases or make the old mail available in any way. Currently everybody has done a pst export before adding the new mailbox.

Thanks,

Jason

Hi Jason,

Exchange Server 2013 introduces the concept of batch moves and migration endpoints. Migration endpoints are management objects that describe the remote server and the connections that can be associated with one or more batches. And, the new batch move architecture improves on MRS moves with enhanced management capability. You can select the appropriate method to move your mailboxes.

Here is an article for your reference:

Hope this can be helpful to you.

Best regards,

Also, database portability was introduced in 2010: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd876873(v=exchg.150).aspx
