You use a Move-Mailbox cmdlet to migrate the mailboxes from a Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 organization to a Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 organization. To speed up the migration process, you run a migration script that executes multiple parallel processes with the Move-Mailbox cmdlets on the Exchange servers. However, duplicate aliases exist after the migration process. Additionally, multiple source mailboxes are merged into one target mailbox.

During the migration process, the script creates the migstubXXXX temporary alias. The temporary alias includes a four-digit number that is generated randomly. When the problem that is described in the "Symptoms" section occurs, multiple source mailboxes share the same alias. This behavior causes one target mailbox to hold the contents of the multiple source mailboxes.
