I tried to move the failed mailbox but it fails
Any idea why that would be
This action was carried out using a separate batch file just for the failed mailbox

Re. the first statement:

The script would have worked but I get a message telling me that the mailbox is in the process of being moved even though it failed
I used the -Whatif switch
Any ideas

The original batch job is still there but is not running
I have just deleted the batch jobs but the script still says the inbox is already being moved
It turns out that there were corrupt items in the mailbox and I forgot to tick the box for Bad Item Limit
All ok now
Thanks for the input
actually I asked you to check the percentage of the process to know if the failed is happened before starting moving messages or not, and once you will confirm that it is happened after starting moving, I will tell you to add the "bad item limit" in the cmd:

New-MoveRequest -Identity user@yourdomain.com -TargetDatabase "DB name" -BadItemLimit 100
Sorry - you are right
Adding a "Bad Item" limit of 50 did the trick as there were 25 bad items
Thx for updates
