Thank you for this. It’s exactly what I’m looking for.
I’m migrating 500 users in batches from a 2013 to a 2016 and I’m getting the dreaded “A version mismatch was detected (Actual:6, Expected:5)” when I try to do a batch migration in the ECP.
This powershell method saved me a lot of time.
Thanks!

I removed -whatif and find that the moves do queue up and are in progress. I’d still like to know why the pipeline error occurs.

get-content C:\—path—\moves.txt | New-moveRequest -targetDatabase “MBDB10” -whatif

The input object cannot be bound to any parameters for the command either because the command does not take pipeline
input or the input and its properties do not match any of the parameters that take pipeline input.

Same technique should work.

The only documentation is for Exchange 2013 where they have you create a .CSV file with one column and heading called “EmailAddress” and place all the user’s email addresses below it. Can this be done in Exchange 2016 in PowerShell?

So even just the Get-Content cmdlet is failing? What’s the exact command you’re trying to run?

Even when the file is clearly in the path it’s saying it can’t find… I tried the root of the C drive, I tried the desktop, and each time I changed directory to that location and the error shows the correct path that the file exists in, still saying it can’t find it. Oh well, I only have a few hundred to move, so I can just keep hitting them manually, up arrow, back arrow, type over each name…

Works fine for Exchange 2013 and I am actually running it from the new Exchange 2016

To check the current migration status of the mailboxes you guys can run the following command.

Get-MoveRequestStatistics -MoveRequestQueue “target database name” (with the quotes)

This way you will be able to check the status of the move

Each of these have one DB each DB001 & DB002

How can I use these commands to move a mailbox in DB001 on EX001 to DB002 on EX002.

In GUI, 4 mailboxes are moved at a time. Can we move 4 or 5 mailboxes using these cmdlet script.
