Maximum mailbox size for mailbox move to Exchange 2007Moved a mailbox under 100mb (from Exchange 2000 to 2007 server) with no
problems. Tried moving 2 more today, one 1.3Gb, and one 3.5Gb - both hung. Huge problems ensued after cancelling, (after waiting over 2 hours) - needed to restart E2k server, as both mailboxes would not reopen. Can anyone inform me of the Maximum recommended mailbox size for mailbox move to Exchange 2007. Thanks jprstokato <jprstok***@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote:

However, it will take a very long time for them to move, so you'd best ensure you've got a good / fast network connection & do this after hours. 2 hours doesn't sound like very long to me for two mailboxes of that size - I don't know the metric to calculate the time. About 2GB an hour is a good rule of thumb. It could be a little faster than
that sometimes. -- Neil Hobson Exchange MVP http://www.msexchange.org/Neil_Hobson/ http://www.msexchangeblog.com "Lanwench [MVP - Exchange]" <lanwe***@heybuddy.donotsendme.unsolicitedmailatyahoo.com> wrote in message Show quote news:egappzIIIHA.3400@TK2MSFTNGP03.phx.gbl... > jprstokato <jprstok***@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote: >> Moved a mailbox under 100mb (from Exchange 2000 to 2007 server) with >> no problems. >> >> Tried moving 2 more today, one 1.3Gb, and one 3.5Gb - both hung. >> Huge problems ensued after cancelling, (after waiting over 2 hours) - >> needed to restart E2k server, as both mailboxes would not reopen. >> >> Can anyone inform me of the Maximum recommended mailbox size for >> mailbox move to Exchange 2007. >> >> Thanks > > I don't know that there is one (although I shudder to imagine a 3.5GB > mailbox).

A mailbox move operation stops responding when you move a mailbox from an Exchange 2003 mailbox store or from an Exchange 2007 mailbox store to another Exchange 2007 mailbox store http://support.microsoft.com/kb/936300/ Although, this article realtes to Excchange 2003 specifuically, any idea whether this also could inlude moves from Exchange 2000 to 2007?
