Before we explain how to get mailbox move history, first we will explain how to move mailbox between mailbox databases in Microsoft Exchange 2010.
Exchange 2010 move mailbox:
To move mailbox between two mailbox databases in Exchange 2010 we can use:
- EMC – Exchange Management Console
- EMS – Exchange Management Shell
EMC Exchange Management Console
To move mailbox from one database to another one, we need to open EMC, find mailbox which we want to move and then right click on it and select New Local Move Request
Next we have to select target mailbox database and choose how many bad items can be skipped during this move.
I think this move is quite simple in EMC.
EMS Exchange Management Shell
We prefer to use EMS to move any mailbox, a specially when you need to move few mailboxes. CMDlets which can be used to move mailbox you can easly use in Powershell script.
You need to have RBAC permission to move mailboxes.
Below you can find CMDlets which you can use to move mailbox, monitor mailbox move, suspend, resume, and also needed RBAC permissions:
| CMDlet | Required RBAC permission | |
|---|---|---|
| Management role | Role group membership | |
| New-MoveRequest | Move Mailboxes | Recipient Management |
| Get-MoveRequest | Move Mailboxes, View-Only Recipients | |
| Get-MoveRequestStatistics | Move Mailboxes, View-Only Recipients | Recipient Mangement |
| Set-MoveRequest | Move Mailboxes | Recipient Management |
| Suspend-MoveRequest | Move Mailboxes | Recipient Management |
| Resume-MoveRequest | Move Mailboxes | Recipient Management |
| Remove-MoveRequest | Move Mailboxes | Recipient Management |
| Get-MailboxStatistics | Mail Recipients, Users Options, View-Only Recipients | Recipient Management |
To move mailbox you need to create move request like below:
New-MoveRequest -identity "John Smith" -TargetDatabase "MXDB03"
Above command will create move request to move John Smith to mailbox database MXDB03
