CAUSE

This problem may occur if both the following conditions are true:
  • You used the Microsoft Exchange Mailbox Merge program (Exmerge.exe) to migrate data from Microsoft Exchange Server 5.5 mailboxes in a different Exchange organization.
  • During the Exmerge.exe process, you selected the option to extract associated folder messages from the source information store and to import those messages to the target information store. For example, in the Source Server dialog box, you clicked Options, and then you clicked to select the Associated folder messages check box on the Data tab.

    Note Associated folder messages are used to store folder rules and views.
In this scenario, when you try to move a mailbox that has been migrated by using Exmerge.exe, the move operation is not successful if the mailbox contains a message copy rule or a message move rule that is corrupted.

Hotfix installation information

After you install this hotfix, the following new registry value is introduced to control whether Exchange Server ignores a failure to move a move rule or a copy rule:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\MSExchangeIS\ParametersPrivate
Entry name: Ignore Bad Copy/Move Rule
Entry type: REG_DWORD
Entry data: 0 or 1

If this registry entry is set to a value other than 0 (zero), Exchange ignores a failure to move a move rule or a copy rule. When you enable this registry entry, the following new event is generated when Exchange ignores a failure to move a move rule or a copy rule:Event Type: Error
Event Source: MSExchangeIS Mailbox Store
Event Category: Move Mailbox
Event ID: 8534
Date: date
Time: time
User: N/A
Computer: computername
Description: A problem occurred while getting the properties for Copy/Move rule for Test User. Error code: -2147221233. Try to clear the rules or run ISINTEG to check for any problem in the database "First Storage Group\Mailbox Store (BUG241341)".
For more information, click http://search.support.microsoft.com/search/?adv=1.

WORKAROUND

To work around this problem, try to remove the copy rules or move rules from the mailbox before you move that mailbox. Additionally, run the Isinteg utility against the mailbox store to determine if any problems exist in the database.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed in the "Applies to" section.
This problem was first corrected in Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 Service Pack 2.
