Mailbox move issues from 2003 to 2010 sp1

When trying to move a mailbox you receive

MapiExceptionNoSupport: IExchangeFastTransferEx.TransferBuffer failed

Scenario:

• Exchange 2003
• Migrating to Exchange 2010 SP1
• You use a product that directly touches your mail boxes (i.e. Enterprise Vault)
• Moving between 2003 mail stores works
• Moving to 2010 RTM mail store may also work.
• Soma mailboxes may move ok but not all.

Troubleshooting Steps:

• Ran ISINTEG on the database to look for any logical corruption
• Tried moving to another mail store before migrating to 2010 SP1

Reason:

• Permission on the mailboxes may have been changed by a 3rd party product.
• Exchange 2010 is more sensitive to proper permission setting on a mailbox

Solution:

• Reset the DACL on the mail boxes with the issue
• Download FPDAVADMIN
• Install on a workstation
• Run PFDAVADMIN and connect to the specifc exchange server mailbox
• File –> Connect –> Select “All Mailboxes” and populate the Exchange and GC names.
• Expand mailboxes
• Right click the mailbox with the issue and choose fix folder DACL

       

• Try the move again
