XADM: Move Server Performance Issue in Large Configurations (196417)



The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Exchange Server 5.5

This article was previously published under Q196417

SYMPTOMS

On running the Move Server Wizard, towards the end of the process, there is a cleanup phase in the destination site. On an average, in large move operations this phase takes five or more seconds for each moved mailbox, which can be a performance issue when a large number of mailboxes (in the range of thousands) are being moved.

CAUSE

This time related performance problem is due to the large number of objects in the directory.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Move Server component of Exchange Server version 5.5.
