Errors migrating mailboxes, "must wait for cleanup operation.."

Asked by aconway in Exchange Email Server

Tags: Microsoft, Exchange, 2003

I am trying to move some mailboxes from 1 exchange server to a new one, and about half the mailboxes (10) didn't migrate over and are saying: Error: After moving a mailbox, you must wait for cleanup operations to complete before you can move it again.

I have run the cleanup agent on both servers and rebooted the new server (but not yet the old server).  I can't reboot the original exchange server because it has a hardware glitch on the post, and I am coming in remotely at the moment...

Old server is Windows 2000 SP4 w/ Exchange 2003 SP2.
New server is Windows 2003, SP2, w/ Exchange 2003 SP2 freshly applied.

Event log says:
Event Type:      Error

Description:
Unable to move mailbox 'The User Name'.
Error: After moving a mailbox, you must wait for cleanup operations to complete before you can move it again.

It seems mailboxes that were moved to the new server are functional...  I want to eventually get rid of the old Exchange server, which is just a member server in the domain, like the new server is.  DNS looks OK.Start Free Trial
