Hi All,
So I have been migrating mailboxes from onprem to O365 in the hybrid config with no issues.
Today I have two migration batch jobs that state "NeedsApproval", but everything migrated.
Kind of confused as i don't see a way to "approve" the jobs and I don't see any issues.
Any ideas?

I'm also getting this with every mailbox/batch we run. It says needs approval with no option to approve. Eventually it moves to completed and the mailboxes are migrated. I have opened a case with Microsoft. @LED04

Hi maybe this reply is quite late but for future cases:
- Open powershell
- Use the Connect-ExchangeOnline command (google how to download and use)
- Use CMD:
Set-MigrationUser -Identity "email address removed for privacy reasons" -ApproveSkippedItems
Or CMD:
Set-MoveRequest -Identity email address removed for privacy reasons -SkippedItemApprovalTime $(Get-Date).ToUniversalTime()
This worked for me :)

I am really fedup of this "Need approval" thing almost on each batch. It is adding no value but eating time on each migration batch/moverequest. I am seeing this even when there are no Corrupt items on move request.
I have been working on migrations since decades and never seen such pathetic experience dealing with this "NEED APPROVAL" even no such bad experience when fixed many failed migration issues.
It became worst when I try to fix it through many appreciable solutions provided by community members, but it kicks out the commands with the below error:
Set-MoveRequest -Identity "Emailid" -SkippedItemApprovalTime $(Get-Date).ToUniversalTime()
Set-MoveRequest -identity "Emailid" -SuspendWhenReadyToComplete $False -PreventCompletion $False -CompleteAfter $CompletionDateTime

is there a way I can Disable this Feature on the Migration Batches and make sure it will not eat unnecessary time on migration Completion?
