Mailbox migration to Cloud
I just have a general question, why does it take hours before our "local" mailbox migrates to office365? It makes sense if mailbox have a lot of emails inside, and it takes time to transfer all the ...
In general, batches take a lot longer complete compared to individual moves, so if you are doing tests just use single moves instead.
To add on to this from Vasil,
When we were doing migrations from clients, we did single moves on ALL mailboxes, and "batched" them by setting their powershell command New-MoveRequest with the variable -CompleteAfter
So if we wanted a batch to complete around 8 am one day, we would just Start all the move requests, with the flag of 8 am that day, and then they would be handled as individual moves instead of a batch, which like Vasil said, seems to take longer.
