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.

Use the Shell to change the bad item limit

You need to be assigned permissions before you can perform this procedure. To see what permissions you need, see the "Mailbox moves" entry in the Mailbox Permissions topic.

Note:
You can't use the EMC to change the bad item limit.

This example changes the move request for Ayla's mailbox to accept up to five corrupted mailbox items.

Copy Code 
Set-MoveRequest -Identity "Ayla" -BadItemLimit 5

For detailed syntax and parameter information, see Set-MoveRequest.

Use the Shell to ignore rule limit errors

You need to be assigned permissions before you can perform this procedure. To see what permissions you need, see the "Mailbox moves" entry in the Mailbox Permissions topic.

Note:
You can't use the EMC to ignore rule limit errors.

This example ignores rule limit errors by not moving any rules associated with Tony's mailbox.

Copy Code 
Set-MoveRequest -Identity "Tony" -IgnoreRuleLimitErrors $true

For detailed syntax and parameter information, see Set-MoveRequest.
