What does the script want?
- Identity - Names of each mailbox to move. The script runs a 'get-mailbox' based on what ever you feed it, so it needs to match one of the values it requests. Usually I just run a get-mailbox against whatever data I am provided then feed the script that.
- TargetDatabase - Name of the database(s) to target. You can either list them implicitly or using wildcards. i.e. SAC-DB01,SAC-DB02 or SAC-DB*
- DBSelection - This switch is how you want to distribute the mailboxes across your target databases.
- RoundRobin - Default option - divide # of mailboxes by # of target databases, put even number on each.
- LeastFirst - Always find the DB with the least # of mailboxes and move mailboxes there.
- FILL - Move up to "FILLMax" value set to each DB, then move to next.
- DontAutoSuspendWhenComplete (optional)- By default the script will set the AutoSuspendWhenReadyToComplete switch for each move request.
- BypassDepartmentCheck (optional) - Since each department is getting their own DB when over 250 employees, I use this switch when I mix the smaller departments on a single DB.
- ExludedMailboxes (optional) <mailbox name> - Mailboxes to NOT move. If for example, my mailbox selection was all entries on a single DB (get-mailbox -database CCR01-SG1-DB1), I may want to exclude service account mailboxes on that DB. I would list them here.
- WhatIf (optional) - doesn't actually schedule move requests, but only shows what would happen if ran.
- BatchName (optional) <name> - By default the script will use the department field and schedule all move requests under that batch name. For the HR department, they'd be something like "HR0", "HR1" ... "HR#". This switch lets you specify something different.
Limits:
- Script will not schedule a request if the mailbox already resides on one of the target databases.
- Script will not schedule a request if a move request already exists (in any state).
- Script will not schedule a request if using FILL and there are not enough databases with free space.
<# .SYNOPSIS Move Mailboxes to 2010 databases using policy .DESCRIPTION Load balances mailboxes to 2010 dbs based on rules defined by admin. Will not double-move mailboxes going to similar destinations. You can specify 3 different move types, roundrobin (evenly to all dbs) Fill250 and Fill350 to put # mailboxes on a DB then move on. .PARAMETER IDENTITY unique mailbox identity. .PARAMETER TargetDatabase Name(s) of target databases for moves to. .PARAMETER ExcludedMailboxes Mailboxes to avoid moving. i.e. selected OU, but don't want to move BESAdmin mailbox. .PARAMETER DBSelectionMethod How DBs are selected for moves: RoundRobin - Mailboxes go to DBS 0..N in order.
FILL - Move FILLMAX mailboxes to DB, then go to next db. Fill250 - Move 250 mailboxes to DB, then go to next DB Fill350 - Move 350 mailboxes to DB, then go to next DB LeastFirst - Move mailboxes to lowest population DB first. .PARAMETER WhatIf Switch - Show sample MOVE without actually scheduling moves. .PARAMETER BatchName Specify a BatchName for the moves. Otherwise, it will generate one based on the mailbox department field and increment by 1 (SALES0, SALES1) each time script ran. .PARAMETER DontAutoSuspendWhenComplete By default the script will set the SuspendWhenComplete flag to true. Adding this switch will disable that. .PARAMETER BypassDeptCheck If existing mailboxes reside in the targetDB location, the script will compare the department fields and not move mailboxes if they don't match. If you enable this switch, it will bypass that check. .EXAMPLE All mailboxes on SG1-DB1 will be moved to the 4 DBs selected evenly. Excludes BESAdmin mailbox. $moves = Get-Mailbox -database Server1\SG1\DB1 .\MV-MBX2010.ps1 -identity $moves -targetDatabase DB1,DB2,DB3,DB4 -DBSelectionMethod RoundRobin -excludedmailboxes Besadmin@example.com .EXAMPLE All Mailboxes in distribution group will be moved to DBs filling up to 250.

Hello
ReplyDeleteMany thanks for the great script you provided. I've made some changes to the script because of the processing time. Even when I included the parameter -byPassDeptCheck it still checks the department of every users. So...
I changed:
Write-Host "Checking to see if DEPT on destination matches destination of source mailboxes"
$dbDeptgrp = $dbs | %{get-mailboxdatabase $_ | Get-Mailbox -resultsize 25 -warningaction silentlycontinue | get-user } | group department | sort count -Descending
if ($dbDeptgrp -is [array]) {$dbDept = $dbDeptgrp[0].name} else {$dbDept = $dbDeptgrp.Name}
To:
if (!$byPassDept) {
Write-Host "Checking to see if DEPT on destination matches destination of source mailboxes"
$dbDeptgrp = $dbs | %{get-mailboxdatabase $_ | Get-Mailbox -resultsize 25 -warningaction silentlycontinue | get-user } | group department | sort count -Descending
if ($dbDeptgrp -is [array]) {$dbDept = $dbDeptgrp[0].name} else {$dbDept = $dbDeptgrp.Name}
}
There where also some issues with the hard coded paths like PS:\Mv-Mbx2010.ps1. It didn't work for me. So I defined the following underneath the param function:
$global:scriptpath = Split-Path $MyInvocation.MyCommand.Path
and changed:
PS:\Mv-Mbx2010.ps1 -batchname $BatchName -identity $missed -targetdatabase $dbs -dbselectionmethod $DBSelectionMethod -DontAutoSuspendWhenComplete -DontRetry
To:
& "$global:scriptpath\Mv-Mbx2010.ps1" -batchname $BatchName -identity $missed -targetdatabase $dbs -dbselectionmethod $DBSelectionMethod -DontAutoSuspendWhenComplete -DontRetry
and changed:
PS:\Mv-Mbx2010.ps1 -batchname $BatchName -identity $missed -targetdatabase $dbs -dbselectionmethod $DBSelectionMethod -dontretry
To:
& "$global:scriptpath\Mv-Mbx2010.ps1" -batchname $BatchName -identity $missed -targetdatabase $dbs -dbselectionmethod $DBSelectionMethod -dontretry
