asked on Move mailbox to another DB on the same exchange server, exchange 2010
HI Guys,
I have a large database of over 230GB, I am trying to brek down the size of the DB by creating four new DBs and sharing the mailboxes accross them.
Thing is I dont see the option to create a move request when I try ..Do I have to use power shell or is there something I am missing.
Thanx for your help

You can use local move request that you should see in EMC when you right click on the mailbox OR you can use shell.

After the creation of DB mount the DB and go to Recipient Configuration - mailbox, Select the user who you want to move, right click on the user, click 'New local move request' and move the different DB. You can also select multiple users at the same time.

with power shell i can iniate a move request ..but I dont see the move request option using EMC
I am moving them in bunches to different DBs so as to have smaller DBs instead of one very large DB

When you highlight a user in EMC dont you see that in Action Pane ?
What if you right click a user ? If so can you please share a screenshot :)
