Naddy, thanks for replied. btw, I have made some changes on previous ps cmd posted here and it work fine and I even enhanced with get-content to allow moving mailbox in bulk. An issue resolved but another is raised, the user id can not be resolve during of setting up email account on client machine, the user id is an old id that migrated from old domain to new domain. The error I got is "the action could not be completed, the name could not be matched to a name in the address list". was not sure whether i have missed some process during the overall migration, please help to review the migration steps below and advise me a proper method. steps taken :- 1.) create trust relationship between old domain and new domain. 2.) use ADMT tool migrate user id over new domain. 3.) use move-mailbox cmd migrate mailbox over to new exchange server 4.) setup client machine with logged in migrated user id. 5.) setup email account on outlook 2003. Appreciate for the reply.

Good to see that u have moved Mialboxes in bulk, i would appreciate if you can paste the cmdlet which worked..... If i am no wrong you have migrated from Exchange 2003 to Exchange 2007. 1) what about Public folders migration. 2) check if the Mailbox database is pointing the correct address list, 3) check the Legacyexchangedn value of the users. 4) Do you see any other OU in active directory users and conputers which was created after using ADMT tool.? 5) Best technet article to follow:- http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb288905.aspx http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc164366.aspx

Naddy, Sure thing, here you go the cmdlet for moving in bulk. $s=Get-Credential $t=Get-Credential Get-Content “C:\mailbox.txt” \| Get-Mailbox -DomainController hd2k3_32dc01.hdm.old -Credential $s \| move-mailbox -TargetDatabase "CN=Mailbox Database,CN=First Storage Group,CN=InformationStore,CN=HD2K8-64EXH01,CN=Servers,CN=Exchange Administrative Group (FYDIBOHF23SPDLT),CN=Administrative Groups,CN=HDAsia,CN=Microsoft Exchange,CN=Services,CN=Configuration,DC=HDAsia,DC=local" -SourceForestGlobalCatalog hd2k3_32dc01.hdm.old -GlobalCatalog hd2k3_32dc02.hdasia.local -DomainController hd2k3_32dc02.hdasia.local -SourceMailboxCleanupOptions none -SourceForestCredential $s -TargetForestCredential $t -Confirm:$false c:\mailbox.txt where it contain all user email addresses in the form of following example. e.g user@domain.com user2@domain.com Answered to your below point :- 1.) Do not have public folder, hence no public folder migration needed. 2.) You're right, the address list is very important and i found out the mailbox database's address list was empty after migration process, therefore I updated the address list and on client machine was able to get back the mailbox. Yet, I found out why was address list empty, it was due to the mailbox was in hidden to cause the stamping process skipped during the move mailbox. 3.) Yes, this could be important for after moved validation of user mailbox. 4.) Yes, the users were successful migrate over to new domain. 5.) thanks for the link. Since the migration process has reach to end and after completed the mailbox migration process, there should be list of verification or user acceptance test should take place to end the whole process. Questions are :- 1.) what normally should verify in such migration? 2.) what user acceptance test should cover beside ensuring user email? 3.) how do we ensure the each migration process? is there a tool or output log which we can capture for verification of each process? Appreciates for the reply.

Thank You for giving me the cmdlet. After migration Basically you need to check the Internal and External Mailflow(both incoming and outgoing). check if the users are able to download OAB, if there are able to view the Schedule + freebusy information. Try this with both outlook and OWA. The best tool is to run Exbpa.
