I have 2 Exchange 2003 SP2 servers on WS2003 SP2.
I moved all the mailboxes from the old server to the new. (hardware update)
But I cannot get the ESM to work on the new one, so I want to install the new one again.
So I try to move everyting back (via the old one's ESM).
Then I get the error: "After moving a mailbox, you must wait for cleanup operations to complete before you can move it again."
But I moved them 4 month ago.
I did run the Cleanup Agent, but nothing changed.
The MoveMailbox first does a connect source mailbox, then a connect destination mailbox, then a open sourcemailbox and then fails after 10 sec's.
What can I do to get things going again?
 
oh, forgot to say: I tried exmerge to move the boxes from server2 back to server1 and it doesn't work. In the thread1.log I see: user wk has his mailbox on server2 so it is moved from server2 to server2.
 
What does the error report say when the move fails?

This is what comes up on the xml page:
"After moving a mailbox, you must wait for cleanup operations to complete before you can move it again."
 
I think there is a post SP2 hotfix for this exact issue. Do you see them in ESM in both stores and the old one is about 4k?
