Here's a little background. We just installed Exchange 2013,and want to move the mailbox database from the C:\ drive to another drive; let's call this Exchange 2013 server EXC2. We're planning on moving the mailboxes after the database is moved to a new drive.
The Exchange 2007 is still running; let's call the Exchange 2007 server, EXC1.
When attempting the Move-databasepath command on EXC2, the Exchange 2013 server, we get an error that states that the database cannot be found on exc1, the Exchange 2007 server. That error is correct because the database is on EXC2, Exchange 2013, and not on exc1.
Even though the EMS is running on the Exchange 2013 server and says that it is connected to the 2013 server, it attempts to perform the move on the 2007 server.
Here is a clip from the EMS
The operation couldn't be performed because object 'Mailbox Database 2065386436.edb' couldn't be found on
'Exchange 2007 FQDN.
+ CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (:) [Move-DatabasePath], ManagementObjectNotFoundException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : EBBBD516,Microsoft.Exchange.Management.SystemConfigurationTasks.MoveDatabasePath
+ PSComputerName :Exchange 2013 FQDN
Anyone seen this before where the database move attempts to move the database on another server and says the database can't be found? And has anyone fixed it?
Thanks,
Paul
