Exchange Management Shell command attempted:
'domainname.org.uk/Users/Administrator' | New-MoveRequest -TargetDatabase 'DAG Mailbox'

I've done four prior Exchange migration and the solution has always been giving the Exch2010 servers full security permissions on Exch2003 mailbox stores but it hasn't worked this time. I'm also using the domain admin account to do the move requests.

The current 2003 mailbox servers are clustered (EXCH1 and EXCH2) and I have two 2010 mailbox servers configured in a DAG. I have tried moving the mailbox to the two local mailbox databases on these servers as well as the DAG database.

Any ideas?

You would move them to the local server database not a DAG database, a DAH is a copy of a database mounted on multiple servers you cannot access it directly.

Looks like your permissions are gone, have you created a service account for Exchange 2003 and are you logged in using that account? See here for how: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/821897

Once that is done, add the user you have just created to the Exchange Organisation Administrator group.

Login on the Exchange 2010 server using this account then try again. You may need to restart the Microsoft Exchange information store serviceo on the Exchange 2003 server to allow the permissions to take effect.

By default Domain Admins don't have full acess to Exchange mailboxes.

Nailed it in one go busbar! Thanks for your help.

To confirm, I checked the security tab on the Exchange 2003 mailbox tab and the tick box for inherited permission was indeed unticked.

Embarrassingly enough, that's exactly how long I've spent too before admitted defeat and asking the Experts :)
