E-mail notification on mailbox moves
Exchange 2013 introduced the new New-MigrationBatch cmdlet, which includes a built-in automatic reporting feature for moving mailboxes, together with a more flexible way of moving collections of mailboxes. In this recipe, we will take a look at how to move mailboxes with the new features and check out the report.
How to do it...
To create a migration batch (move request) for moving a collection of mailboxes to another database within the Exchange organization, use the New-MigrationBatch cmdlet, as shown in the following command:
New-MigrationBatch –Name "Move Batch" –CSVData ` ([System.IO.File]::ReadAllBytes("C:\localmove.csv")) ` –Local -TargetDatabase DB2 –NotificationEmails ` 'administrator@contoso.com','dave@contoso.com' -AutoStart Get-MigrationUser | Get-MigrationUserStatistics | ft –Autosize Complete-MigrationBatch –Identity "Move Batch"
The following is a screenshot with the migration statistics:
