Exchange 2007 - Moving Mailboxes did not move Data

We have an Exchange 2007 environment, we moved mailboxes from one mailbox store to another. We were able to send/recieve without any issues from a Blackberry device. After opening the mailbox all of the "old" information that was in database A has not moved over to Database B. We can see the files in the database A, but cannot get them to Database B. It is almost as if it created a new mailbox instead of moving the mailbox from Database A.

Any ideas?

We are running on Exchange 2007 there is not a System Manager. We are using the Exchange Management Console. We have done some testing and it appears that during the copy there was an error and it made a new mailbox on Database B. When we tried to move it back there was a mailbox already in Database A so now there are 2 mailboxes. When we try and use the - AllowMerger:$true command after the move mailbox command in the Command Shell it says that the mailbox already exists and will not merge the 2 mailboxes.

I am not sure that this is the same issue. We have used the command shell in Exchange to try and merge the mailboxes, but it fails stating that the mailbox is in both databases, but it will not merger the two when using the -AllowMerge:$true paramater. We are not getting the errors that are included in that article, just one that says it was unable to move the mailbox through the command shell.

Any other thoughts?

Take the pst out of the new mailbox - disable the mailbox - reconnect the old mailbox to the user - give him the PST. Simple

Glad to hear you're not in the same mess.
