Exchange 2016 Migration Batch Completes Successfully, But Mailbox is Not Moved

  Here's weird problem that happens to Exchange admins while they want to move some users to different DB. I'm testing a mailbox move from Exchange 2016 database to different database that hs different mailbox quota . I can create a new migration batch for the user and it completes in short order, but the mailbox is not moved. The number of Total, Synced, Failed, and Successful mailboxes for the batch is zero.

Before you try migrating the user within a batch again, please remove the existing user by running the Remove-MigrationUser cmdlet." Whoever wrote that error message deserves a raise. MUCH better than the "Error code 2" I...
