Mailboxes can be moved while the user has them opened; neither the server push, pulling, or driving the move will complain, nor will the Outlook client. Bottom line, for issue-free movement of mailboxes, null the PriNTacct prior to moving the mailbox.
MS "recommends" the user be prevented from accessing their mbx prior to the move, but does not state it must be done. The business of moving-a-mbx-while-the-user-is-logged-in vs. moving it w/o a PriNTacct association seemed worthy of testing. I investigated this for a couple hours back on exchsrvr5 with a few of easy tests using mbxs & Mail Storm. The results were mixed (I have a results matrix of the test someplace). Bottom line: utter intermittency across the board and no consistency of retests. In most cases, mbxs moved with the user logged in moved w/o incident; but there where instances where messages sent to the "moved" mbx NDR'd. The mbx DN seemed to be the source of problems. I thought setting the tombstone to 1 day might have some positive effect, but it didn't matter.

Matter of fact it will be a few minutes after the move is complete before they regain access to the mailbox... if you're not liking this.. then Ed has the better option... don't let them into the subnet that the exchange boxes are on. -----Original Message----- From: Ed Crowley [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, February 06, 2003 8:35 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: how to prevent logon during move mailbox Better to disconnect them from the network on which the clients reside.
