I have a VERY LARGE mailbox that I am unable to move to a new Exchange 2010 mailbox server. Here are the details on the move:
Exchange 2010, SP3 Update Roll-up 7; Running Virtually (VMware) Server 2008 R2, SP1
DisplayName TotalItemSize TotalDeletedItemSize
ItemCount
xxxxxx 8.852 GB (9,505,284,164 by... 32.42 GB (34,805,477,748 b... 23831
* I should mention this user is on Litigation Hold (the reason for such a large (TotalDeletedItemSize)
I ran this powershell script to run the move:
New-MoveRequest "user name" -TargetDatabase 'SC01' -BadItemLimit '500' -AcceptLargeDataLoss | ft -AutoSize -Wrap
I monitored the move with this script:
Get-MoveRequest | Get-MoveRequestStatistics
After 15 hours of monitoring, the move "Failed" at 68%. - I re-ran this move 3 times over the weekend and it failed each time around the same percentage. Finally I removed the "Get-MoveRequest" with this script:
Remove-MoveRequest -Identity 'User Name'
I ran this script:
Get-Mailbox -Identity username | Get-MailboxFolderStatistics | Where {$_.ItemsInFolder -gt 100} | Sort-Object -Property ItemsInFolder -Descending | fl Identity, ItemsInFolder
I noticed that this user has over 183,000 items in a hidden folder called \Versions\. I thought this looked suspicious.
Identity : domain.com/OU/Users/User Name\Versions
ItemsInFolder : 183094
Any ideas what I can to to improve the health of this mailbox so it can be successfully moved to the new server?
Thanks in advance for any assistance.
