Hi Hope you can help me with an issue that is rattling my nerves and cannot get it to work.
I am trying to move all mailboxes from a 2013 server over to a 2019 server. When I create a migration batch it try to sync then kicks back an error that says:

Error: MigrationPermanentException: Informational: The request has been temporarily postponed because Search is not up to date.

I cannot find any further info on that error. Please help?

In fact in Exchange 2016 on Prem you only need to use this command:

set-MoveRequest “firstname surname” -CompleteAfter (get-date)

“firstname surname” is the users DisplayName AD attribute.

Many Thanks for all the contributions, all great information.

Is it necessary to remove-moverequest after they are successful and complete?

Should this be done before the database they moved from is deleted/removed or does it not matter?

Yes. it has changed, Vikas. Look at this article:

It should work

I don’t think these commands work anymore with Exchange online.
Tried these commands on multiple occasions but the particular user is still showing as “Synced’

I think this behaviour might be changed over in 2018

Hi Paul, I have some move requests to O365 in sync for nearly 30 days now and started the move requests with the “suspendwhenreadytocomplete” switch.
During on prem migrations the move request will be deleted after 30 days.

Will the move requests also be deleted after 30 days?
Thanks in advance for your answer.

Good morning, Paul, how are you?
See if you can get that doubt.
I am in a Mailbox Migration project in a Hybrid environment where I am performing the batch migrations through the graphical interface.
I’ve been reading the migration via pw via the SuspendReadytoComplete command.
I would like to know if there is a migration difference in terms of performance or practicality.
