Hi all,

I have a issue to finishing my migration from Exchange 2010 to Exchange 2013, I have been trying to migrate my Public folders but always after a couple hours, the migration state is failed.

The final error is the following:

FailureCode                      : -2146233088
FailureType                      : SourceMailboxAlreadyBeingMovedPermanentException
FailureSide                      :
Message                          : Error: Couldn't switch the mailbox into Sync Source mode.
                                   This could be because of one of the following reasons:
                                     Another administrator is currently moving the mailbox.
                                     The mailbox is locked.
                                     The Microsoft Exchange Mailbox Replication service (MRS) doesn't have the correct
                                   permissions.
                                     Network errors are preventing MRS from cleanly closing its session with the
                                   Mailbox server. If this is the case, MRS may continue to encounter this error for
                                   up to 2 hours - this duration is controlled by the TCP KeepAlive settings on the
                                   Mailbox server.
                                   Wait for the mailbox to be released before attempting to move this mailbox again.

So, after seeing this I started to monitoring all process and I realized that after creating hierarchy the process start to fail and keep in StalledDueMailboxlock status, and the error is:

FailureCode                      :
FailureType                      :
FailureSide                      :
Message                          : Informational: The request has been temporarily postponed because the mailbox is
                                   locked. The Microsoft Exchange Mailbox Replication service will attempt to continue
                                   processing the request after 2/14/2015 12:38:20 PM.

Finally, digging more into reports of migration I  found this:

MapiExceptionNetworkError: MapiExceptionNetworkError: Unable to open entry ID. (hr=0x80040115, ec=6)_x000A_Diagnostic context:_x000A_ Lid: 40487 EMSMDBMT.EcDoRpcExt2 called [length=73]_x000A_ Lid: 44583 EMSMDBMT.EcDoRpcExt2 exception [rpc_status=0x6][latency=0]_x000A_ Lid: 62184 _x000A_ Lid: 16280 dwParam: 0x0 Msg: EEInfo: ComputerName: n/a_x000A_ Lid: 8600 dwParam: 0x0 Msg: EEInfo: ProcessID: 51452_x000A_ Lid: 12696 dwParam: 0x0 Msg: EEInfo: Generation Time: 0415-02-14T14:25:40.9210000Z_x000A_ Lid: 10648 dwParam: 0x0 Msg: EEInfo: Generating component: 2_x000A_ Lid: 14744 dwParam: 0x0 Msg: EEInfo: Status: 6_x000A_ Lid: 9624 dwParam: 0x0 Msg: EEInfo: Detection location: 1741_x000A_ Lid: 13720 dwParam: 0x0 Msg: EEInfo: Flags: 0_x000A_ Lid: 11672 dwParam: 0x0 Msg: EEInfo: NumberOfParameters: 0_x000A_ Lid: 23260 Win32Error: 0x6_x000A_ Lid: 61553 StoreEc: 0x80040115_x000A_ Lid: 52176 ClientVersion: 15.0.1044.25_x000A_ Lid: 50032 ServerVersion: 14.3.181.6_x000A_ Lid: 50128 _x000A_ Lid: 50288 _x000A_ Lid: 23354 StoreEc: 0x80040115_x000A_ Lid: 25913 _x000A_ Lid: 21817 ROP Failure: 0x80040115_x000A_ Lid: 22894 _x000A_ Lid: 24942 StoreEc: 0x80040115

So, would like to know if exist any procedure to migrate/move my Public Folders from Exchange 2010 to 2013 manually, something like Export/Import.

Regards!

Could you please also share the steps you have followed while moving public folders from exchange 2010 to 2013 ?

You can walk through this very informative article that covers all the required aspects and provides step-wise instructions when dealing in such migration situation : http://www.petenetlive.com/KB/Article/0000789.htm

This technet KB can be your another helpful destination : https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj150486%28v=exchg.150%29.aspx

Moreover, if you still facing the problem, I would suggest you to have a look on this automated solution (http://www.exchangemailboxmigration.com/) that could be a good alternative approach to get this job done in an easier and quicker way.

What script and process you are running to migrate the Public Folders?

And what do you mean by Man

Hi Adam_albee

I did all that step in both articles, more over I find that the problem would be related with KeepAlive Dword in TCPIP parameters in registry with 1 hour (I have my Exchange 2010 in network 172.16.22.0/24 plus ACE load balancer configured as routing mode and my Exchange 2013 in network 10.2.21.0/25 plus F5 configures as routing mode as well ). I wrote that key and restart Exchange 2010 mailbox and tried again, to my sorprise it worked and copied 95% before to fail by large items. So I tried again with flags -AceptLargeDataLoss and -BaditemLimit 50 ; but it started to fail at 60% by stalledDueMailboxLock and after couple hours change to final error wrote above. Then I tried again and just copied 40%, then 28%... always same behavior, stuck in StalledDueMailboxLock. I'm really convinced that some happens in networking, but figure out what it is, it's going to be really hard, that's why I'm asking if exist some method to move PFs like export all data and import, it doesnt matter if I have a large downtime to use PFs.

Thanks!

Hi Gulab

I'm trying with steps that MS have published in https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj150486%28v=exchg.150%29.aspx

By Manually I mean some method to convert Public Folders to Exchange 2013 like maybe Offline export and the Import, or some tool to convert old PF. As I wrote to Adam, I think the network between Exchange servers makes the mailbox become locked.

Thanks.

Manually? I guess you don't want to use migration software for public folders migration. Okay. Check this helpful tutorial to move Exchange 2010 Server public folders to Exchange 2013. http://exchangeserverpro.com/exchange-server-2010-2013-migration-moving-public-folders/

Thank you all, finally it was a heavy network issue that it freeze the information store, that always ends in stalledduemailboxlock, so every time it happens I had to restart the information store service and the migration started to work fine again till the network freezed the information store.
