Error On Migrating A Mailbox To Exchange 2010

After installing Microsoft Exchange 2010 I wanted to move my mailbox from Exchange 2007 to Exchange 2010. Using the wizard in Exchange Console I got this 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 nnnnnnnnnn′ -BadItemLimit ‘0′

  • I found that this error can be fixed by editing the Advanced Security Settings for the user on the AD.
  • Open “Active Directory Users and Computers”
  • Click “View > Advanced Features”
  • Select the users mailbox properties
  • Navigate to “Security Tab > Adanced”
  • Select the checkbox “Include inheritable permissions from this object’s parent”
  • Apply changes

Afterwards the move should go swimmingly, however you may need to remove your move request a try again.
