After receiving the error on multiple attempts to move the mailbox, I was finally able to get this taken care of.
After first receiving the error I google’d the error code, and came up with various solutions. First of course was to add permissions to the mailbox:
- add-mailboxpermissions -id mbx -user (acct doing the moving) -accessrights fullaccess
This really didn’t do anything for me since I had already assigned rights via ADUC
Next was suggested to move the 2003 mailbox to another DB on the 2003 server. This failed also.
The entire resolution process goes as follows:
- exporting 2003 mailbox using exmerge
- disconnected mailbox using ADUC
- ran mailbox cleanup agent on 2003 DB
- reconnected mailbox to dummy user acct (just for backups sake)
- created new mailbox using 2007 EMC on the 2007 EVS (this didn’t work… the new mailbox only had SELF permissions on the mailbox rights in ADUC)
- removed newly created mailbox using 2007 EMC
- removed exchange attributes from 2003 AD user using ADUC
- created new Exchange 2003 mailbox using ADUC
- moved new 2003 mailbox to 2007 mailbox server (move-mailbox mbx -targetdatabase (evs\sg\db\)
- removed “LegacyExchangeDN” from dummy account and created a custom X500 email address on correct user’s ADUC object
- opened mailbox in outlook and reimported PST mail
- sent test email, and calendar invite
- had a near heart-attack and left 45 minutes late from work.
