No, moving mailboxes to a new store does not require the databases to be offline or dismounted. Use the Exchange Mailbox Move Wizard, the databases must be online for this to be successful.

So, is there some clear concise instructions somewhere to do this, like does the store need to be off-line, which is what I am guessing. And any ballpark on how long it takes? Please bear with me, I was sent to a 2 day Exchange Server seminar and handed the job as Exchange Admin, so I am kinda green still. Thank You ~Doug Rooney Sonoma Tilemakers IT Manager 7750 Bell Rd.

Generally speaking of course. You mileage may vary.

Actually I think it actually triples until you have done a successful B/U! Correct me if I'm wrong, just make sure you have the disk space. ___________________________________ Stefan Jafs From: Stephan Barr [mailto:stephanbarr.li...@gmail.com] Sent: Friday, August 14, 2009 1:35 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: Re: Mail store issues Yes. On the same machine. Not required though. If you have another Exchange 2003 server in the same site you can create the store there as well. Apparently it's the moving of mailboxes from one store to another effectively repairs. Cheers.

Move all the mailboxes to the new store and see if that clears up the corruption problem. Cheers.
