Moving Mailboxes to 365 with Advanced options

Question

Good Afternoon,

Is it possible to move mailboxes to 365 using more advanced options? I am already using the documented script but we have a need to use other switches in the New-MoveRequest cmdlet such as -CompleteAfter to specify when a move completes.

When I try to write my own script I have to specify the -RemoteCredential parameter on New-MoveRequest but I have no way to pass credentials securely.

Here is the script I have so far, not sure if there is a better more native way to do this. I see the native way only supports a couple of options that are documented.

Hello,

Is it possible to move mailboxes to 365 using more advanced options?

Unfortunately, there is no such possibility.

When I try to write my own script I have to specify the -RemoteCredential parameter on New-MoveRequest but I have no way to pass credentials securely.

You can use the approach where the credentials are specified in the Run as section of the Run a program or PowerShell script action. For details on how to obtain the credentials in the script, see section Running the script as a specific user of the following SDK article: https://adaxes.com/sdk/ServerSideScripting/#running-the-script-as-a-specific-user.

Thanks, unfortunately this doesn't work. I receive this error attempting that:

Hello,

The behavior is expected. You should not be using Connect-ExchangeOnline or Disconnect-ExchagneOnline. You should just add the credentials part to the script you provided in the initial request.

---

Just following the instructions provided, if this is expected behavior, should it not be removed from documentation?

I will try it the other way.

Hello,

Sorry for the confusion, but we are not sure what exactly you mean. Connect-ExchangeOnline and Disconnect-ExchagneOnline are not present anywhere in our documentation.

As per your link: https://adaxes.com/sdk/ServerSideScripting/#running-the-script-as-a-specific-user

In any event I modified my script to utilize the -remotecredential $credential

This is a snip of my script which is now working:

Hello,

Thank you for pointing out the case. We will fix it as soon as possible. As for your script, it should work just fine.
