Cross-Forest mailbox migration legacyDN error

Brass Contributor

We're migrating a group of users and mailboxes between different forest.

We're testing the process and it fails when we try to create the new-move request.

So far we did the following steps to test the procedure.

The two forests are connected with trust and the ADMT user,computer,groups migrations have been tested successfully.

 

To test the mailbox migration we did.

- prepared the user in the new forest with the ./Prepare-MoveRequest.ps1 script which created the new user, disabled, in the new forest.

- migrated the user using ADMT pointing to the same OU where the previous step created the account, actually merging it. The user changed from disabled to enabled and we see it in the new exchange organization' recipients.

- tried the new-moverequest -remote ...

this failed with the following error

Creating a new session for implicit remoting of "New-MoveRequest" command...
The critical property 'LegacyExchangeDN' is missing in the UserMailbox object 'Exchange Test2'.
