How To Change The MailBox Icon
How To Change The MailBox Icon
Locked
- I moved 2000+ mailboxes from Exchange 2003 to 2010, and fresh created some.
The freshly created ones got a very nice mailbox icon, but the moved ones got a mailbox icon with an arrow!
Is there a way to Only change the mailboxes icon w/ arrow, to look like their fellow new fresh ones?

- You've got balls, running it in production without support from MS yet. :)
The arrow indictates a mailbox you moved with E14 and as a result it has a "move request" associated with it. In the recipients area of EMC or if you did get-moverequests from EMS you will notice these mailboxes listed. Moves are done asynchronously now so you don't have to keep the tool open. They get scheduled in the background and you could log off the box and still have them move. These requests remain visible so you can see if the failed/successed and then view some information about them. They'll remove themselves in I think 1 month, otherwise you can remove them by right-clicking them in the EMC move request area and removing it.
You also get some fancy move reports now where you can narrow down why something failed if need be, get-mailboxstatistics <identity> -includemovereport | fl movereport

They'll show you exactly what 2010 did to move the mailbox, how long it took for each step, what it moved, what it AD attributes looked like before the move as well as after the move.

All mankind are same in "balls", relatively. But differ in Guts. :-)

Thanx for the tip.
How can I "Clear Move Request" for all of them in one single command?
- You can clear all the completed move requests with below cmdlet.Get-MoveRequest | Where{$_.Status -eq "Completed"} | Remove-MoveRequest -Confirm:$FalseHere,'Get-MoveRequest' gets all move request regardless of status.'Where{$_.Status -eq "Completed"}' filters the result of Get-MoveRequest and get the completed requests only.'Remove-MoveRequest -Confirm:$False' removes all the move requests filtered with Completed status without asking for the confirmation.Hope this helps!

- It did help!
Although, I had to run it for each 1000 item.
Thanx - Guts and sometimes stupidity. ;) j/k
You can do what Amit said or select them all in EMC at once and remove them.

Be aware the pre-release versions of Exchange aren't supported. If you upgrade from a pre-release version to the RTM version you may run into issues that aren't encountered with supported upgrades from released versions of Exchange. The only solution to those problems may be to reinstall Exchange 2010.

It's weekend here, and I'm trying to solve some issues through the Internet.
Thanx for Ur concern.

"Sometimes", quick assumptions and answers get you into "stupidity". ;)

- Someone is breaking some rules if that is the case. The RTM version isn't available publically or by sale yet.
Brian Day: MCSA 2000/2003, CCNA, MCTS: Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 Configuration, Overall Exchange/AD Geek. - Another assumption! :-) BTW, I do like Ur spirit.
- Brian is quite correct. Exchange 2010 hasn't reached General Availability yet. If you received a digital copy then you may want to verify its integrity. If you received a boxed copy, the dealer broke the street date.
