Error on moving mailbox to Exchange 2010

23 Nov 2009

After trying to move a mailbox from Exchange 2003 to Exchange 2010, I received the following error:

Error:
Active Directory operation failed on *DomainController*. This error is not retriable. Additional information: Insufficient access rights to perform the operation.
Active directory response: 00002098: SecErr: DSID-03150E8A, problem 4003 (INSUFF_ACCESS_RIGHTS), data 0

The user has insufficient access rights.

Exchange Management Shell command attempted:
’*OUStructure*’ | New-MoveRequest -TargetDatabase ‘Mailbox Database 1985885663′ -BadItemLimit ‘-1′

This error can be resolved by editing the Advanced Security Settings for the user.

  • Open Active Directory Users and Computers
  • Find the user of which the mailbox move caused the error
  • Open up the properties of this user and go to the security tab (if this is not available, choose view and then advanced features in the AD users and computers MMC)
  • Click on [Advanced]
  • Activate the checkbox “Include inheritable permissions from this object’s parent” and then click [OK] twice.
