• Domain\Account
  
• User principal name (UPN)
  
• LegacyExchangeDN
  
• SMTP address
  
• Alias
  

Remote

Required

System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter

The Remote switch specifies that the move you're initiating is outside of your organization. For example, if you're trying to perform a cross-forest move or if you're trying to move the mailbox to Microsoft Office Outlook Web App, you would use this parameter.

You don't have to specify a value with this parameter.

RemoteGlobalCatalog

Required

Microsoft.Exchange.Data.Fqdn

The RemoteGlobalCatalog parameter specifies the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the global catalog server for the remote forest.

RemoteHostName

Required

Microsoft.Exchange.Data.Fqdn

The RemoteHostName parameter specifies the FQDN of the cross-forest organization from which you're moving the mailbox.

RemoteLegacy

Required

System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter

The RemoteLegacy switch specifies that this mailbox move is from a remote forest that doesn't have Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 installed. You don't have to specify a value with this parameter.

TargetDeliveryDomain

Required

Microsoft.Exchange.Data.Fqdn

The TargetDeliveryDomain parameter specifies the FQDN of the external e-mail address that's created in the source forest for the mail-enabled user when the move request is complete. This parameter is allowed only when doing remote moves with Remote or RemoteLegacy parameters.

BadItemLimit

Optional

System.Int32

The BadItemLimit parameter specifies the number of bad items to skip if the move request encounters corruption in the mailbox. Use 0 not to skip bad items. Use -1 to skip an unlimited number of bad items. The valid input range for this parameter is -1 to 2,147,483,647. The default value is 0. We recommend that you keep the default value 0 and only change the BadItemLimit parameter value if the move request fails.

BatchName

Optional

System.String

The BatchName parameter specifies a descriptive name for moving a batch of mailboxes. You can then use the name in the BatchName parameter as a search string when you use the Get-MoveRequest cmdlet.

Confirm

Optional

System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter

The Confirm switch causes the command to pause processing and requires you to acknowledge what the command will do before processing continues. You don't have to specify a value with the Confirm switch.

DomainController

Optional

Microsoft.Exchange.Data.Fqdn

The DomainController parameter specifies the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the domain controller that writes this configuration change to Active Directory.

RemoteTargetDatabase

Optional

System.String

The RemoteTargetDatabase parameter specifies the name of the target database in the remote forest. Use this parameter when moving mailboxes from the local forest to a remote forest. For moves from a remote forest to the local forest, use the TargetDatabase parameter.

If you use this parameter, you must specify the Remote or RemoteLegacy parameters.

Suspend

Optional

System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter

The Suspend switch specifies whether to suspend the move request. If you use this parameter, the mailboxes specified in the move request are queued to move, but the move doesn't begin.

You don't have to specify a value with this parameter.

SuspendComment

Optional

System.String

The SuspendComment parameter specifies a description as to why the move request was suspended.

SuspendWhenReadyToComplete

Optional

System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter

The SuspendWhenReadyToComplete switch specifies whether to suspend the move request before it reaches the status of CompletionInProgress. After the move is suspended, it has a status of AutoSuspended. You can then manually complete the move by using the Resume-MoveRequest command.

The TargetDatabase parameter specifies the identity of the database that you're moving the mailbox to.

WhatIf

By using the WhatIf switch, you can view any errors that will occur without adding the mailbox to the move request queue. You don't have to specify a value with the WhatIf switch.
