it seems you have a DAG running am I right ? if so then you can only use the configuration only
ASKER
Just a Heads up
We have 2 E14 Mailbox Server and 2 Hub/CAS server
so you do have a DAG right ?
in a DAG you can only do it using the powersehll with -configuraitononly

Mailbox servers are not in DAG
ok then when u move it using powershell without configuration only what is the error?
ASKER
it give s error to user configuration only switch
please copy paste the exact error
ASKER
No error as such as when you right click and select move database path the location greyed out
It doesnt allow to specify database and log location
run it from poweshell without the configurationonly switch
ASKER
it works only with configuration only switch
What i feel is its something to do with Mailbox role on one server and CAS on other server
What do you say..
Will have to do a repro on lab with OS win2k8 R2 with Mailbox server and CAS on a different box OS win2k8 R2
copy paste the error I need to read the exact error

Dont have the error handy with me
The issue got resolved after removing the mailbox role and installing the Mailbox role again
oki good to know it is working now then
You need to connect the EMC to the mailbox server. It is probably connected to another one of your Exchange 2010 servers, even though you're running it locally on the mailbox server.
Open EMC, right-click on the organization object (the second container down, under the root node) and select Properties
Under the 'Specify a server to connect to' option, click the Browse button and select the mailbox server that hosts the database you want to move
