Hi All,

Want to share three scripts that can be used to move mailboxes each has its on benefits.

Two of them have been written by me & one I have found on internet & customized it.

1.  Simple Move script without any log –>(To execute it  script.ps1 filename.csv)

# script to Move mailboxes by reading the text file

$data = import-csv $args[0]

## Get mailbox ids from text file

foreach ($i in $data)
{
# collect all email addresses

$mailbox = get-mailbox $i.name | move-mailbox -TargetDatabase ‘DEV-EXCH-MAIL\First Storage Group\Mailbox Database’

}

2.  Move-mailbox script with little log(just excute the scripts as path to text file is in the script itself)

$TargetDatabase = “DEV-EXCH-MAIL\Third Storage Group\Rotterdam5”

$SourceFile = “c:\scripts\users.txt”

$a = remove-item c:\scripts\Movelog.txt -ea SilentlyContinue

$error.Clear()

$UserList = Get-Content $SourceFile

foreach($user in $UserList)

{

$message = “Moving User -> ” + $user

write-output $message | out-file -filePath “c:\scripts\MoveLog.txt” -append -noClobber

move-mailbox -Identity $user -TargetDatabase $TargetDatabase -BadItemLimit 5   -Confirm: $false

if($error.Count -ne 0)

{

$message = “User ” + $user + ” failed to move ???????????”

write-output $message | out-file -filePath “c:\scripts\MoveLog.txt” -append -noClobber

$message = “Error:::: ” + $error[0].ToString()

write-output $message | out-file -filePath “c:\scripts\MoveLog.txt” -append -noClobber

$error.Clear()

}

}

3.  Move-mailbox script with mutiple sessions options & log

$TargetDatabase = “DEV-EXCH-MAIL\Third Storage Group\Rotterdam5”

$SourceFile = “c:\scripts\users.txt”

$a = remove-item c:\scripts\Movelog.txt -ea SilentlyContinue

$error.Clear()

$UserList = Get-Content $SourceFile

$userlist | get-mailbox | move-mailbox  -TargetDatabase $TargetDatabase -BadItemLimit 5  -maxthreads 10 -Confirm: $false -ReportFile C:\scripts\Movelog.txt
