Hi, Exchange 2007 writes all mailbox moves to the Application Log, so you might be able to get that information from there. The Event Source to look for is "Exchange Migration" See: Exchange Move Mailbox logon infoMartina Miskovic

Hi Manju, I understand the challenge you have in front of you now, but I am sorry to say that Exchange 2007 doesn't store that information anywhere. The answer would have been different if you were on Exchange 2010, but your are not so...Martina Miskovic

If the original servers were Exchange 2007 and they're still in operation there may be information in this directory on each of them: C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\Logging\MigrationLogs --- Rich Matheisen MCSE+I, Exchange MVP --- Rich Matheisen MCSE+I, Exchange MVP

Dear Rich\Frank The difficulty here for searching the Log is again leads to nowhere... Coz, if you would have done a move of the mailbox on a desktop machine using EMC\EMS- the logs would be stored under the desktop's location(Again the same path) So its really very difficult...and if the logs are got purged....we are helpless..!!! :( Regards, ManjuManju Gowda
