2013EX to 2019EX PF Move Failed

So I'm in the end stages of my 2019EX migration.
Not sure how I missed this, but I apparently didn't move my PF's to the new server.

I tried to use the cmd :
Get-Mailbox -PublicFolder | New-MoveRequest -TargetDatabase "Mailbox Database 2019EX"

But ended up with the following errors:
1) Mailbox '2013EX PF Mailbox' has a completed move request associated with it. Before you create a new move request
for the mailbox, run the Remove-MoveRequest cmdlet to clear the completed move request.

2) Mailbox '2019EX PF Mailbox' is already in the target database.

So, it looks like I tried to move things but they failed. How do I find out the name of the PF move request that completed so I can clear it?
Once I do that can OI then just move the individual folders to the new PF mailbox already created?

Thanks in advance.

Hi

You would need to use the Get-MoveRequest commandlet.

If you don't need to keep all completed moverequest for historical reason, you could issue that;

Get-MoveRequest -movestatus completed | remove-moverequest

Be advised it would remove all completed request.

If you want to be more granulay, to find it you can issue a command like;

Get-MoveRequest -resultsize unlimited | Where-Object {$_.status -like "Completed"} | Get-MoveRequestStatistics | select DisplayName, StatusDetail, *Size, Percent | ft

After you could remove it by finding it.

Thanks

I think I want to find that one specific move request.
Reason being is the PF didn't actually get moved, so I want to redo that set of more request.
Thank.

Hi,
See if you can find the specific move request with following commands:

 Get-MoveRequest -Identity '2013EX PF Mailbox'| Get-MoveRequestStatistics
 Get-MoveRequest -TargetDatabase "Mailbox Database 2019EX"| Get-MoveRequestStatistics

Once you find it, remove it with "remove-moverequest".

Ok, thank you for the replies.
I should have done more digging before I posted my original post.

It turns out that I did in fact move the PF. When I moved them they were moved with the original 2013EX mailbox name to the new 2019EX with that name.
I had created a NEW PF mailbox on the 2019EX server and had assumed that the 2013EX PF contents would have been moved to the new 2019EX PF mailbox that I just created. (I was wrong).

So the PF move was originally successful.
I was just looking in the wrong place for the folders to be.

Sorry for wasting anyone's time.
