Moving mailboxes or mailbox store is a piece of cake in Exchange 2007. Recently, I had to go through a task where the mailboxes need to be moved from one server to another in different datacenter. All that was required to do is copy the EDB files after checking for a Clean Shut Down state. Created same store names on the new server, marked the DB so that I could be overwritten with a restore, copied the old EDB files over the new DB’s in new server and mounted the database on the new server.

There it was. All mailboxes along with data moved to new server. The only thing left there after was to update the configuration of the mailboxes using Powershell to point to the new server. Thank you to the team at Microsoft for making this less painful compared to Exchange 2003.
