Hi Guys,<br />
<br />
We are following the Exchange 2007 to Exchange 2013 migration procedure.<br />
Mailboxes have been migrated to the new Exchange 2013 server already and all users are up and running.<br />
Now we are following the guide here for decommissioning old Exchange 2007 box - <a href="http://blogs.technet.com/b/meamcs/archive/2013/07/25/part-4-step-by-step-exchange-2007-to-2013-migration.aspx" rel="ugc">http://blogs.technet.com/b/meamcs/archive/2013/07/25/part-4-step-by-step-exchange-2007-to-2013-migration.aspx</a>&nbsp;and the first step of Mailbox database removal is Get-MailboxDatabase | Remove-MailboxDatabase <br />
<br />
I typed this command in Exchange management Shell and it seems to be sitting on the same prompt for 2 hours and not moving. Our mailbox Database .edb file is 150GB in size so its not that massive either. <br />
<br />
Seems like there is no way to check progress of this. Can someone please help. Attaching snapshots of Exchange management shell as well as Exchange management console showing mailbox database status<br />

Simple Mailbox Database removal issue - Exchange 2007 to Exchange 2013 migration

Exchange is the server side of a collaborative application product that is part of the Microsoft Server infrastructure. Exchange's major features include email, calendaring, contacts and tasks, support for mobile and web-based access to information, and support for data storage.

Exchange

Small Business Server (SBS) is a line of server operating systems targeted at small businesses by bundling the operating system with a number of other Microsoft products that would normally need to be purchased or licensed separately. The most notable inclusions are Exchange, SQL Server, SharePoint and ISA/TMG (Microsoft's firewall and proxy server).

Windows Server 2012 is the server version of Windows 8 and the successor to Windows Server 2008 R2. Windows Server 2012 is the first version of Windows Server to have no support for Itanium-based computers since Windows NT 4.0. Windows Server 2012, now in its second release (Windows Server 2012 Release 2) includes Foundation, Essentials, Standard and Datacenter, and does not support IA-32 or IA-64 processors.
