We recently migrated from Exchange 2007 to 2010. I would like to move the default mailboxes and remove the default database. However, when I try to move the mailboxes by issuing the following command I get an error:
[PS] >New-MoveRequest -identity "SystemMailbox{longstringofnumbers}" -TargetDatabase MailboxDatabase
Mailbox database '2af6f487-65bf-4c14-a887-79f0fb305871' is offline.
+ CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (0:Int32) [New-MoveRequest], RemoteTransientException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : 67F9816E,Microsoft.Exchange.Management.RecipientTasks.NewMoveRequest
When I tried to mount the database I got the following error: An error occurred while preparing to mount database 'Mailbox Database 1712221758'. Error: Could not find a part of the path 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V14\Mailbox\Mailbox Database 1712221758'. Could not find a part of the path 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V14\Mailbox\Mailbox Database 1712221758'.
And indeed there doesn't appear to be a mailbox database at that location or anywhere. How can I move the default mailboxes if the default mailbox database won't mount? I know the mailboxes were created because I can see them when I issue the command Get-Mailbox -Arbitration
Thanks for any help!
