Problem moving mailbox ex 2003 to ex 2010
I did a local move from ex 2003 to ex 2010. It still says legacy mailbox. The other ones in the past worked but this is stuck.

[PS] C:\Windows\system32>Set-Mailbox -identity jwblum -ApplyMandatoryProperties

Can't apply mandatory properties on mailbox "jwblum" because it is hosted on a legacy Exchange Server.
    + CategoryInfo          : InvalidOperation: (:) [Set-Mailbox], InvalidOperationException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : 781BD023,Microsoft.Exchange.Management.RecipientTasks.SetMailbox

Keep in mind I have already done the local move.

open your power shell, and do:

Set-Mailbox <User> –ApplyMandatoryProperties

Just tested it on one of my servers and it works :)

Ahh sorry, I was testing, so the reply was a little slow

Ok , and if you go on the exchange management console and look for this mailbox , what is the Type listed under the "Recipient Type Details" ? Does it say "User Mailbox" , Linked Mailbox or LEgacy Mailbox ?
Where does the exchange see the mailbox located ?

Get-Mailbox -Identity NameOfMailboxWithProblem | FL

Is the mailbox server correct ?

Avatar of endital1097endital1097🇺🇸

i would run
get-mailbox user | select database

make sure the reported database is the 2010 database
the move request may have failed

it says legacy mailbox which is called "frontoffice".

You can eventually try to export the mailbox to a pst , disable the mailbox , re*create it and just import the pst.
This will save you some debugging time and error finding.

Avatar of George SasGeorge Sas🇩🇰

K , that means the exchange is steel thinking the mailbox it's on your "FRONTOFFICE" server which I presume is the legacy mailbox.

Go on the EMC at the Move Requests and CLEAR the move request for that user.
Try to perform the local move request again and see what the error is.

But I would just go with export to PST and just make a new mailbox for him.

So do you mean none of the answers here helped you to successfully  move your mailbox ?????
This is a bit odd ... I think you should award the point to whomever helped you with the problem or at least ANSWER the people here  !
endital1097 gave you 2 replies after your last question and now you suddenly say noone gave you an answer ???

This is lame and therefore many people stopped answering on ExpertsExchange. Maybe it's time we do the same.

Not really. It's copying files over at 1 meg per minute. One guy posted some good articles but they have more to do with the number of mailboxes that can be moved at the same time. I am just trying to move one. Normally I get answers that's not really a problem.

Avatar of endital1097endital1097🇺🇸

the question was for problem moving one mailbox which is what we were addressing
it appeared that my one post helped you remove the existing move request and start the move process again
you never posted the result of that move request, so how are we to know if it succeeded or failed
