Mailbox Move Fails From Exchange 2007 to Exchange 2010

Seldom have I had any major issues with moving mailboxes to Exchange 2010. With my Move Request script, I've bumped the allowed bad items from the default of 0 to 5; of that about a handful needed to be bumped to a larger number to allow them to complete.

The one item that had me stumped for the longest time was an error similar to:

Message        :

There isn't a lot out there about this specific error code (ec=-2147024809). What I needed to do was look closer at the failurecontext value on the get-moverequeststatistics cmd.

get-moverequest -movestatus failed | get-moverequeststatistics | fl displayname, failurecontext

Two items to pay attention to..

1. Provider: 'MSFT:TDX OOF Rules'
2. Folder: '/Top of Information Store/Deleted Items/Inbox'

So, this person has (at least) 2 Inbox folders and each have an "Out of Office" auto-reply rule configured on them. The MoveRequest tool won't allow me to modify the OOF table twice for the same mailbox. Running a '/cleanrules' on this mailbox only manages to delete their live rules, but doesn't hit this second Inbox.

To fix this.

Original Rules Data value

1. Open MFCMapi and logon to this person's mailbox. I grant my admin account full mailbox rights just to make sure.
2. Double-click mailbox (not public folders) under Display Name to open.
3. Expand Root Container -> Top of Information Store and find Inbox above.
4. Scroll to near bottom and locate the PR_RULES_DATA key. Double-click to open it.
5. In the Property Editor, I click into the BINARY field, type CTRL+A to select all of the data and hit DELETE to clear it out. This should effectively wipe the rules from this folder.
   
   

   

   After cleaning out rules.

6. Now you should be able to resume the move request for this user.
