Exchange 2013 Mailbox Move

The mailbox move process has been fine tuned in Exchange 2013 with the concept of “Batch Move”.
Similar to Exchange 2010, a single or multiple mailboxes can be moved using EAC. Mailbox move can be initiated from the move mailbox option next to a mailbox or by using the “Migration” tab in the “Recipients” node.
A new option exposed in the EAC is the option to use a CSV file as an input to move the mailboxes.
In 2013, every mailbox move needs a batch name, even if it is to move a single mailbox. There is a new option to specify a “large item limit”.
There is an option to send an email report to an admin account, once the move is completed. This is a nice to have feature. So is the option to prepare the mailbox move and start it later.
In 2013, you can move the primary and archive mailbox to different database at the same time.
Do check out the 2013 way of moving mailboxes ;)

Hi Raheem,
I will try to post more often ;-)
Hi
Thanks for sharing
you can also do a delta sync move which you couldn’t in 2010.
for example you move 50 users and suspend
then a week passes but you don’t want to resume and move the delta of that one week.
you can re-sync the differences again so the delta is smaller(without actually moving anything yet)
then resume the suspended should take a few seconds/minutes only.
Very true Turbomcp. You could suspend in 2010, but the delta sync is new.
The GUI for batch moves is great. I’m partial to the GUI interface because I use the mouse faster than I type
Very true Percy.
