      Has Code

    You can try 70, but again you may hit that limit too, you may wanty to accept data loss & set the baditemlimit to something hiher or unlimited

    e.g

    New-MoveRequest -Identity 'Kweku' -PrimaryOnly -TargetDatabase "DB01" -BadItemLimit 100 -AcceptLargeDataLoss

    Hi,
    If you have a another database in Exchange 2003, try and move the mailbox there first and then to Exchange 2010.


    I had to do the same a couple of weeks ago and it solved my problem.
    Before I went with that road, I checked the movehistory log and saw that all corrupted items had to do with meeting requests and mostly Acceptance and Declined messages that he sent and received.
    I suspect that the problem was caused by his iPhone, but I can't be sure.

    Martina,

    I've done that. I was able to move her mailbox on Ex2003 without any issues but it fails out when i'm trying to move to Ex2010.

    My concern is that her mailbox is only 300 mb or so and she has 60 corrupted items.

    Hi,
    What kind of items is it and are they in the same folder?

    I'm not sure. I don't think it's a folder structure. I think folders are being moved within first 10%. It errors out at around 25. I'm thinking it might be deleted items

    Check the moverequest log, it will tell you. The first 10% only creates the mailbox hiearchy.
    Example: Get-MoveRequest USER | Get-MoveRequestStatistics -IncludeReport

    Try again (but this time with format-list):
    Get-MoveRequest USER | Get-MoveRequestStatistics -IncludeReport | fl

    You should also see the folder they are stored in...Do you?

    Are most of them also (as in my case) most accepts and declines?

    What do you plan on doing with them, it's good you have found them but if they are corrupt and you export/import will those be usable,? Probably not, manually going through them may take to filter, unless you really need them, so it may be just worth increasing the bad limit and just moving it.

    Hi,
    Did you use the parameter -PrimaryOnly as suggested by Sukh?
    That will not work.

    Use this to check whether the mailbox is ready to move:

    New-MoveRequest -Identity 'tony@alpineskihouse.com' -TargetDatabase DB01 -WhatIf

    Then try to move the mailbox (without -PrimaryOnly):

    New-MoveRequest -Identity 'tony@alpineskihouse.com' -TargetDatabase DB01

    So the increase of the bad limit was the way to go.

    Sukh,

    I left out -PrimaryOnly. I set it to 70 and it failed out again. After setting 500 it finally went through.

    I was emphasizing that the bad item limit had to be used here.

    I saw her having 60 corruptions so i figure i set it to 70.
