Hi,

I have a exchange server and the database is at 90GB, I think its time to
split it up again. This is the first time I do it in Exchange 2007. I am
moving from one Storage group to another storage group with the same rights
on the same server. This is what I did:

I right clicked the name and simply moved it to another DB.

The problem is that the mailbox I moved over 1hr ago is not online yet.
Could someone tell me why I takes the mailbox so long to come back online
after a move?Also is there a way to speed up the process?

Thank you,

G.

The ESEFILE utility was distributed as part of the Exchange 5.5 and Exchange
2000 support tools and can be used to copy databases at a database level
rather than the file level which is much faster.

XADM: Esefile Support Utility for Exchange Server 5.5, 2000

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q248406

After the copy process has been initiated, you will need to use ADSIEDIT to
modify the following attribute values in AD:

1) Open ADSIEDIT. In the Configuration Container navigate to
CN=Services, CN=Microsoft Exchange, CN=<Org_name>, CN=Administrative Groups,
CN=<AG_name>, CN=Servers, CN=<Your Exchange Server object>,
CN=InformationStore, CN=<Storage Group>, CN=<Mailbox Store>

2) Right-click on the Mailbox Store object and select properties

3) Locate the attributes msExchEDBFile

4) Edit the values to reflect the new DOS path for the .edb file

5) Apply the changes

6) When the copy procedure is finished, mount the store/database

There is no errors in the event viewer. Really strange and the move is
succesful.

Yes by online I mean open up the mailbox using outlook.

Acutally my bad. The mailbox is fine. I am just wondering how come the
rights dont get imported over to the new Storage group when I migrate the
mailbox?

Is there a way to make sure the rights are imported also?

You see I have a user that is able to open every mailbox but now that users
is not it seems inherit the rights to open the mailbox under that new
storage group. How could I do this. I dont see it in the GUI and I am not
very familliar with cmdlets. Could someone please tell me a quick way to
make every single mailbox I create in that storage group / mailbox database
to be have this user have Full Access Permission.

Thank you,
