Configure Move Request Properties

 

Applies to: Exchange Server 2010 SP3, Exchange Server 2010 SP2

After you create a move request, the request could fail due to bad item limit errors or rule limit errors. If the move request fails because of those errors, you can edit the move request settings to increase the bad item limit or to ignore rule limit errors. After the move request is initiated, you can edit it until it has a status of Completed.
