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:

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.

Also, I come to find out the mailboxes (probably the ones having problems) were migrated to the new server a few weeks ago, but something was wrong with the new server, so they got migrated back to the old server store.. I am sure this has something to do with it, just not sure where to look or how to fix it..
I am about ready to give up and export them all to .PST files, delete the mailboxes, finish the migration on the server, uninstall Exchange on the old server, then recreate the deleted mailboxes on the new server and import the .PST's through Outlook.. would there be any issue with this, as long as the Exchange Services (RUS, etc) all get transferred over to the new server properly before the Exchange uninstall?
Ran into this problem. Had moved two users b/w stores and the move failed leaving partial mailboxs in the destination store. Did it again and it failed but said it deleted the dupes. Then I got the mailbox cleanup failures with all future moves. I then moved the affected users to the same original store (that they were still on). This succeeded immediately, then I was able to move them to the new store. Seems counterintuituve to move a mailbox to the same store its on. I guess that just resets a value in AD and makes the mailbox mobile again. Go figure.
