One of my favorite Exchange 2007 powershell migration cmdlets was the move-mailbox cmdlet in conjunction with the maxthreat parameter. Microsoft has removed the move-mailbox command from Exchange Server 2010. The new command is New-MoveRequest. A lot of people on the internet are complaining because there is no maxthread option when using the New-MoveRequest cmdlet.
The complete move process within Exchange 2010 has changed. The New-MoveRequest can move 5 mailboxes at the same time while Exchange 2007 without the maxthread option only moves one mailbox at a time. If you are responsible for the migration of mailboxes from Exchange 2003 or 2007 to 2010 you would definitely want a solution to move more mailboxes at the same time.
You should update the following file: MSExchangeMailboxReplication.exe.config. This file can be found within the bin folder of your Exchange installation path.
Use the following procedure to improve the performance of you migration/move commands:
- Make a backup of MSExchangeMailboxReplication.exe.config.
- Open notepad and edit the MSExchangeMailboxReplication.exe.config file.
- Change the MaxActiveMovesPerSourceMDB entry to 25.
- Change the MaxActiveMovesPerTargetMDB entry to 25.
- Change the MaxActiveMovesPerTargetServer entry to 25.
- Save the file.
- Restart the Microsoft Exchange Mailbox Replication service.
That should be it. If you have any questions regarding this article please feel free to contact me.
