Exchange Server 2013 useres rearangement

Can someone please tell me how to move user from one to another database  ? I've created two new EDB databases, and now i need to move users from native database to the new one. It seems to me, that there is no such option in Exchange admin center, although it says : If you want to move the mailbox to a different database, select it in the mailbox list, and then click in the "Details" to "Move to another database". 

I cant find that option :(

Try Exchange management shell cmdlet new-moverequest - https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd351123(v=exchg.150).aspx

If EMS will report, that this cmdlet is not available, you might not have permissions to do that (you need to have either Organization Management or Recipient Management management role).

Hi,

run the command in Exchange management shell.

get-mailboxdatabase 

and check if you can see two EDB databases there?

Yes, i managed to use EMS but, there is another error  when I type this :

New-MoveRequest -Identity veljko.petrovic@blabla.bla -TargetDatabase blabla -BadItemLimit 1999 - AcceptLargeDataLoss

it says that my profile is already in new database, and exchange stil says that my profile is in old database. Meanwhile, my mail is not working at all.

Hi Veljko,

How have you created the databases, make sure you have them mounted first before attempting to move mailboxes.

#Run this to find the mount status
Get-MailboxDatabase -Status | ft Name,Server,*Mount* -AutoSize

#Run this to mount specific database
Get-MailboxDatabase "MailboxDB01" | Mount-Database 

Secondly, make sure you are logged in using the correct admin account, accounts without correct permissions RBAC would have missing options in EAC and EMS cmdlets.

To see what permissions you need, see the "Mailbox Move and Migration Permissions" section in the Recipients Permissions topic.

Basically there two

Organization Management

Recipient Management

Run the below cmdlet in Exchange Shell it should list "Move Mailboxes-*"

Get-ManagementRoleAssignment *move*

Mount-Database

this is this is strange. If you run get-mailbox userid | fl *database* -whatdatabase is reported?
Have you already tried to move mailboxes? You can get a list of move requests by running get-moverequest

Hi, my second - new db is mounted, but my acc is still in the old one. I'm logged as administrator with full rights everywhere.

When I run get-moverequest it says that my mailbox is moved to another database. But when I enter Admin Centar it says that my mailbox is still in the old database. That is what is bothering me right now.

Try to remove move mailbox request. If it is the only move request you've did, you can run get-moverequest | remove-moverequest

Hi,

Logoff from the server and re-login, how many DCs do you have. It might be still replicating the changes.

If the PowerShell says mailbox is moved then its moved.

NOTE:- To start a new move for the same user, you need to Remove-MoveRequest containing the user's earlier move.

Hi,

For your first question, you can login EAC---Recipient---> Mailboxes, and seclect one mailbox and scroll down to move mailbox, figure as below:

For second question, please check the state of Exchange replication service. It's used for sync AD attribution and update data. For your reference: http://blogs.technet.com/b/exchange/archive/2010/07/19/3410438.aspx

Moreover, how about Outlook or OWA client when this issue arise.

Thanks
