Exchange 2019 mailbox migration between databases not working

Hi I have built two new Exchange 2019 servers to replace our existing servers.  I have also configured database replication between the new servers.  I have run the hybrid configuration wizard on both servers and they are showing as licensed in EAC


I am trying to migrate mailboxes between databases and it doesn't seem to be working either between local databases on the same server or between servers.  The migration status just says 'synching', and when I click 'view details' I just get a window popup which says 'there are no items to show in this view'.  


When I try and stop or remove the migration EAC just says 'stopping' or 'removing' and I have to force the removal in Powershell.

Did you try restarting Exchange mailboxreplication service?

yes i've rebooted both Exchange 2019 servers

Hello,


if you see nothing in details, it probably means that the mailboxes that you want to migrated are still present in another migration batches.


=> Remove all unnecessary migration batches and move requests, and keep only the right ones. Re-add the mailboxes to migrate, or create a new batch.

I've run the following commands against the migration batches:  


Remove-MigrationBatch -Identity testuser1 -Force

Remove-MigrationBatch -Identity testuser2 -Force


Get-MoveRequest -Identity 'testuser1@mycompany.com'

Get-MoveRequest -Identity 'testuser2@mycompany.com'


Get-MoveRequestStatistics -Identity testuser1@mycompany.com

Get-MoveRequestStatistics -Identity testuser2@mycompany.com


The first set of commands removed the migration batches.  The other commands returned 'couldn't find a move request that corresponds to the specified identity.'



moving the mailbox using Powershell worked, I'll try that for now.  Thanks!

What worked for me was I installed Chrome. For some reason Edge was working and then stopped. 

I'm running Exchange 2019 Standard Servers on Windows Server 2022.
