Mark left a comment asking whether he could complete the mailbox moves for only specific mailboxes that were included in a very large migration batch.
Consider a scenario in which you create a migration batch, but some circumstance leads to you wanting to be more selective in which mailbox moves within that batch are completed, instead of initiating the completion for the entire batch.
Although the migration batch is a single object that you can manage, each mailbox move in that batch is still handled as an individual move request.
For example, here is a migration batch with five mailboxes included. I can see all five move requests when I run Get-MoveRequest.
[PS] C:\>Get-MigrationBatch Identity Status Type TotalCount -------- ------ ---- ---------- Migration Batch 10 Syncing ExchangeLocalMove 5 [PS] C:\>Get-MoveRequest DisplayName Status TargetDatabase ----------- ------ -------------- Alison Pugh InProgress DB03 Annette O'sullivan InProgress DB03 Alannah Shaw InProgress DB03 Chrissie Varney InProgress DB03 Carol Okyere InProgress DB01
When the migration batch reaches a suspended state (because I did not choose to automatically complete it), I can use Set-MoveRequest to set the SuspendWhenReadytoComplete flag on one of the move requests to $false, then resume only that move request.
The reason for setting SuspendWhenReadytoComplete to $false is to ensure that the move request does not auto-suspend again when you actually want it to complete.
[PS] C:\>Get-MoveRequest "Alannah Shaw" | Set-MoveRequest -SuspendWhenReadyToComplete:$false [PS] C:\>Get-MoveRequest "Alannah Shaw" | Resume-MoveRequest [PS] C:\>Get-MoveRequest DisplayName Status TargetDatabase ----------- ------ -------------- Alannah Shaw InProgress DB03 Alison Pugh AutoSuspended DB03 Annette O'sullivan AutoSuspended DB03 Chrissie Varney AutoSuspended DB03 Carol Okyere AutoSuspended DB01
That move request will complete, while the others remain suspended.
[PS] C:\>Get-MoveRequest DisplayName Status TargetDatabase ----------- ------ -------------- Alison Pugh AutoSuspended DB03 Annette O'sullivan AutoSuspended DB03 Chrissie Varney AutoSuspended DB03 Carol Okyere AutoSuspended DB01 Alannah Shaw Completed DB03
That can be repeated as many times as necessary to get the desired result. Or I can simply complete the entire migration batch.
[PS] C:\>Get-MigrationBatch "Migration Batch 10" | Complete-MigrationBatch Confirm Are you sure you want to perform this action? Complete migration batch "Migration Batch 10"? [Y] Yes [A] Yes to All [N] No [L] No to All [?] Help (default is "Y"): y
The remaining move requests will then complete as expected.
[PS] C:\>Get-MoveRequest DisplayName Status TargetDatabase ----------- ------ -------------- Alison Pugh Completed DB03 Annette O'sullivan Completed DB03 Alannah Shaw Completed DB03 Chrissie Varney Completed DB03 Carol Okyere Completed DB01 [PS] C:\>Get-MigrationBatch "Migration Batch 10" Identity Status Type TotalCount -------- ------ ---- ---------- Migration Batch 10 Completed ExchangeLocalMove 5
