What are you hoping to gain by doing this? There is no real benefit to moving mailboxes between containers. In addition, by doing what you propose, you loose SIS and break all of your meeting connections. What is your business reason for moving between containers (or having multiple containers at all for that matter)?

When moving mailboxes from one container to another is it true that a person's profile has to be refreshed by doing a check name after keying in the mailbox name? I have been testing this and find that it is true. We have 1638 mailboxes to move from one container to another. We are doing the following: back up the mailbox to a PST, delete the mailbox, add the mailbox to the correct container, restore the mailbox from the PST. Then when trying to sign in we get unable to open default folders. I thought it might be a timing (synching problem) so I wanted 20 hours and still get the same error. Please let me know if you know of an easier way to move these mailboxes. (I know Kevin Snook company has mailbox mover but that is one at a time also and we really haven't got that to work either.) Happy holidays.
