Moving Exchange 2010 DB to another machine

I'm attempting to move a 110GB Exchange database off of a old machine (see below for specs) to a newer machine ( see below for specs). I've successfully linked the new machine to the old machine's domain, promote and have Active Directory synced perfectly.

What is the proper way to go about this? I followed Microsoft documentation on it to no success.

Specs:

Old: Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard SP1 Intel Core 2 Quad Q8400 (yuck) 8GB RAM 1 1TB HDD

New: Windowss Servers 2008 R2 Standard SP1 Intel Xeon E3-1240 V2 16 GB 2 1TB HDDs

 

Is the old exchange server still online, contactable on the domain and is the mail store in a good state?

 

Yes, I have complete control of the old machine.

 

If you can see the old Exchange server from the new Exchange server, you could migrate the mailboxes to the new Exchange server.

 

I tried creating new Move Request's but ran into the following error.

Error: MapiExceptionNetworkError: Unable to make admin interface connection to server. (hr=0x80040115, ec=-2147221227)

Code (markup):

 

Are both servers running Exchange 2010? If yes, what Exchange service pack do you have installed on both servers?

 

The old machine is running 14.3 and the new one is running 14.0.

 

Your new Exchange server has no service pack installed and it's recommended you update this as there are lots of bug fixes within the latest Service Packs.

A few things for you to try before you install the Service Pack.

1) Run the Exchange console as administrator, right click run as administrator, try again
2) Check that any of your server NICs are not set to DHCP. Setting to static IP addresses with correct gateway has helped resolve such network errors in the past, try again
3) Ensure the old mail store is mounted and online
4) Try to migrate a couple of mailboxes at a time, incase you are migrating a large amount.
5) Locate one of the accounts with Active Directory, right click properties, security, advanced and ensure inherit permissions is ticked and try migrating the mailbox again
6) I have also known companies who have had to disabled Disabling IPv6

As you can see from the below, your new Exchange server has no service pack installed, whereas the old one has service pack 3 installed. You should update you new exchange server to the latest service pack and attempt the migrations again.

I'm sure you are already aware of this, but with any changes you make, ensure you have a full system backup
