Just an FYI, I kept reading in the responses about "move"... This doesn't "move" the mailbox, it creates a new one at the new HomeMDB URL location and the old mailbox is sitting there disconnected in the old store location. This is something that can be done for normal users to get dialtone back quickly in the event of a failure. I have written utilities that can get a whole server worth of users (4000+) redirected to another Exchange server for dialtone recovery in event of failure of a first Exchange server in usually less than a minute. Of course later someone gets to have the fun of merging the mailboxes. But if someone doesn't want to pay for full mailboxes always being available and just needs a mailbox at any given time it is a decent solution. :)

I'm trying to modify an attribute for a mailbox using adsiedit. Particularly I'm rehoming it's database by modifying the homeMDB attribute. The problem I'm running into is I'm getting an error stating "The name reference is invalid" when I try to apply the change. I've done this a few times but this is the first time I've run into this error. Google doesn't give enough info to determine the cause...or maybe it is and I just don't know enough about the response to see it....that never happens. ;-) If anyone can shed some light it would be greatly appreciated.
