What's wrong with PST imports?

Hi there.

In case I don't get an answer you can view this as a bug report.

I have an Exchange 2013 CU8 on 2012R2 with all updates applied, no hotfixes.  It's a brand new install.  It's a VM running on a dedicated RAID1 array of 2 SSDs on a new Dell R720xd.

If I try to import more than 2 PST files at one time they fail and start over again in one big loop even though, it would appear the import was 100% complete.

PSTs were imported form a folder with SMB and NTFS rights that allow for exchange trusted subsystem.  User account obviously has role rights to import as it works fine when only 2 jobs are submitted.

You can see below what happens with 3 jobs running.  This repeats over and over, each job bombs out at a random percentage with error relinquishedwlmstall.

Hi,

Please use the following command to return additional information for all the mailbox import requests that have a status of Failed, and then post the content in AllImportReports.txt file.

Get-MailboxImportRequest -Status Failed | Get-MailboxImportRequestStatistics -IncludeReport | Format-List > AllImportReports.txt

 Best Regards.

Thanks all!  Unfortunately the first reports were blank, just completely empty.  I would up importing them 2 at a time as well which worked but was time consuming.
