Cancel a batch migration
I have a batch migration that has finished the initial synchronization and waiting to be manually completed. Can I cancel the batch and migrate again to another mailbox database? What are the correct cmdlets to be used?

Hi,

Can you paste the result of the following PowerShell cmdlet? Just wanted to check the percentage of completion

get-moverequest | get-moverequeststatistics

The individual mailboxes in the batch are all 95% complete.

Then it's safe to cancel the move. You can't do the stop if they were 100%

Can I just delete the batch in EAC and then create a new batch to migrate those same mailboxes to another database?

Or I have to cmdlet below to remove the moverequest for each mailbox individually.

Remove-MoveRequest -Identity ''

How will those migrated 95% content be after deleting the move request? Will it be clear up automatically?

Hi Nahcyrret,

Base on my knowledge, you can only delete a migration batch that either isn't running or has been completed.

Please use "Get-MigrationBatch" cmdlet to check the batch status.

If it has a status state of Synced, use the Complete-MigrationBatch cmdlet to finalize the migration batch.

You can also try to delete each mailbox individually, the content will roll back to the source database.

In addition, I also recommend you refer to the following article and try to complete the move requests :

Completing Individual Move Requests from a Migration Batch
