Am I missing something here? You are just gonna move a handful of mailboxes from one mailbox DB to another, is that right? And then remove the old mailbox DB.
If I've stated this correctly: Just do it.

I've perused the two following articles: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/3912.exchange-2010-how-to-delete-the-first-database-and-move-the-system-mailboxes.aspx http://www.careexchange.in/how-to-remove-default-database-in-exchange-2010-in-a-recommended-way/ and a couple of others, but none of them seem to speak to potential downtime while the move is happening, either for the mailbox to a new database, or for the move of the original database itself. We can certainly delay the move, but we'd like to get it done soonest, as this LUN is required for other things we're doing on the SAN> Kurt
