Hello,

I am in the process of moving several hundreds of mailboxes from exchange 2007 to exchange 2010 in batches on 100 a night. The issue is that the move process changed completely in E2k10 from what it was in E2k7. The long story short is that I am working on a script for our helpdesk that will contain the below two lines among others. I need to know when the last mailbox in my batch finished moving so I can issue a command line to export a report.

get-content c:\source.txt | get-mailbox  | new-moverequest  -targetdatabase databasename
Get-MoveRequest  | Get-MoveRequestStatistics | select DisplayName,Status | export-csv c:\report.csv

You could try somethng like this:
get-content c:\source.txt | get-mailbox | new-moverequest -targetdatabase databasename
do{$waiting = Get-MoveRequest | Where{$_.Status -ne "Completed" -AND $_.Status -NE "Failed"}
}while ($waiting -ne $null)
Get-MoveRequest | Get-MoveRequestStatistics | select DisplayName,Status | export-csv c:\report.csv

Thanks Karl,

I actually took your suggestion and slightly changed it simply because there are too many states of the mailbox move that might affect the outcome. Let me know if that would work.

do
{
$waiting = Get-MoveRequest | Where{$_.Status -like '*inprogress*' -OR $_.Status -like "*Queued*"}
}while ($waiting -ne $null)

That should work fine.

Hi,

Now the script works fine. However, I would like to refresh the shell screen while the move is happening and display the progress realtime. The problem is that I can't get the formatting of the get-moverequest to display in one line. The results are separate for each mailbox. I would like the result of the request below to show as if you are issuing get-moverequest by itself. Columns and rows.

Thanks

do
{
$waiting = Get-MoveRequest | Where{$_.Status -like '*inprogress*' -OR $_.Status -like "*Queued*"}
Get-MoveRequest | Where { $_.status –eq “InProgress” } | Select DisplayName,PercentComplete | Format-Table –auto
Start-Sleep –seconds 60
}while ($waiting -ne $null)

I may have figured this one out. Out-Default instead of format-table which confilicts with the default output when a script is invoked not from a command line.
