After you install this update, a public interface is available. You can use this interface to perform cross-administrative group moves by using CDO scripts. The following optional parameters are added to the
Update installation information
MoveMailbox method for the IMailboxStore interface.
| Parameter name | Parameter type | Parameter value |
| FCrossAG | VARIANT_BOOL | default value FALSE |
| IMaxBadItemsToSkip | long | default value 0 |
The
FCrossAG parameter has a default value of
FALSE. Therefore, you must set the
FCrossAG parameter to
TRUE when you use it.
The
MoveMailbox method has been updated to include two new optional parameters as shown in the following example:
MoveMailbox(HomeMDBURL As String, [FCrossAG As Boolean = False], [lMaxBadItemsToSkip As Long])
The following is an example of how to specify these parameters in a Microsoft Visual Basic Scripting Edition (VBScript) file to move a mailbox across administrative groups.
objMailbox.MoveMailbox "LDAP://" & strMailStorePath, TRUE, 0

The
lMaxBadItemsToSkip parameter has a default value of zero. The valid values for this parameter are in the range between zero and 100. If you set the value of the
lMaxBadItemsToSkip parameter to a value that is outside this range, such as -5 or 108, you receive an error message that is similar to the following:
D:\Program Files\Exchsrvr\bin\Cdoexm_MoveMailbox.vbx(21, 2) (null): The value is out of range.

Additionally, after you install this hotfix, new error messages are available that help you troubleshoot the following situations:
- For a mixed-mode mailbox-move operation where the source server and the destination server are in different administrative groups, the FCrossAG flag is must be set to TRUE. You receive the following error message if the FCrossAG flag is not set to TRUE:
The source and destination server are in different administrative groups and you have not selected the option to move mailboxes across administrative groups.
- For a mixed-mode cross-administrative group mailbox-move operation, the destination server must be running Exchange 2003 Service Pack 1 (SP1) or a later version of Exchange. You receive the following error message if the destination server is not running Exchange 2003 SP1 or a later version of Exchange:
The source and destination server are in different administrative groups and the destination server is not Exchange 2003 SP1 or later. Cross administrative group moves require destination server to be Exchange 2003 SP1 or later.
- For a mixed-mode cross-administrative group mailbox-move operation, you must have at least one Microsoft Exchange Server 5.5 server available. You receive the following error message if you do not have at least one Exchange Server 5.5 server available:
Your organization is in mixed mode and has no Exchange 5.5 servers. Cross administrative groups moves will be blocked until your organization is switched to native mode.
- For a mixed-mode cross-administrative group mailbox-move operation, all Active Directory Connectors (ADCs) must be Exchange 2003 SP1 ADCs or a later ADC version. You receive the following error message if one or more ADCs are not Exchange 2003 SP1 ADCs or a later ADC version:
Your organization has at least one Active Directory Connector that is not Exchange 2003 SP1 or later. Cross administrative groups moves will be blocked until all Active Directory Connectors have been upgraded to Exchange 2003 SP1 or later.
- For a mixed-mode cross-administrative group mailbox-move operation, all Exchange Server 5.5 servers must have the Directory Service/Information Store (DS/IS) update installed. You receive the following error message if one or more Exchange Server 5.5 servers do not have this update installed:
The source and destination server are in different administrative groups and the 5.5 Directory Service/Information Store (DS/IS) consistency adjuster patch has not been installed.
