SYMPTOMS

Consider the following scenario. You move mailboxes by using the MoveMailbox.ps1 script in a Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 environment. You use the DomainController parameter to specify a domain controller that writes the configuration changes. In this scenario, the script ignores the specified domain controller, and selects one available domain controller to write the changes.
