Local Move Request error

Symptom

When I try to move a user mailbox to other mailbox database, the Exchange Server 2010 shows the following error:

Summary: 1 item(s). 0 succeeded, 1 failed.
Elapsed time: 00:00:00

Susan Tam

Error:
Large BadItemLimit (100) is specified. Please confirm your intention to accept a large amount of data loss by specifying AcceptLargeDataLoss. This information will be kept in the logs with 'contoso.com/Users/Administrator' as the identity of the requestor.

Exchange Management Shell command attempted:
'contoso.com/Users/Susan Tam' | New-MoveRequest -TargetDatabase 'Branch-MDB01' -BadItemLimit '100'
Elapsed Time: 00:00:00

Cause

By default, the maximum "Bad Item Limit" is 50 in Exchange 2010. If the value is larger than 50, Exchange 2010 shows the above error.

Resolution

You have to use  "Exchange Management Shell", perform "New-MoveRequest" cmdlet with "BadItemLimit" and "AcceptLargeDataLoss" parameters.

Example: New-MoveRequest -Identity "Susan Tam" -TargetDatabase <Databse Name> -BadItemLimit 100 -AcceptLargeDataLoss
