Mailbox moved - rules do not work any more

A

Andoni

Hi all, I hope you can help me. I guess this is more appropriate to the
Outlook group than the Exchange group.

We have built a second Exchange server in another office and joined it into
our site. It is configured OK and there are no problems with it. We also have
2 OWA front-end servers as the SMTP gateways. Some of the users here are
being moved to the other office and their mailboxes are obviously going with
them.

Using the ADUC snap-in, we have migrated many of the users' mailboxes to the
second server, however we have found that their rules do not work. These are
simple rules, such as messages from sender X move to mailbox Y and so on. The
rules worked on the original exchange server, however upon moving then
mailbox the rules do not work.

Rules created on new mailboxes on the new second server work OK.

Does anyone know what could be the problem and how this can be fixed?

I guess the only option would be not to move the mailboxes using the ADUC
snap-in, but exporting the mailbox, creating a new one on the new server and
importing the mailbox. However I am not 100% sure even this will work.

If anyone has any ideas on how to solve the mailbox move / rules problem I
would be most grateful.

Thanks

Andoni
