XADM: Move Mailbox Fails with Client Operation Failed 80004005-0501-80004005

ID: Q195985

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Exchange Server, version 5.5

SYMPTOMS

When you move a user in the Microsoft Exchange Server Administrator program, the move may fail and the following error message is displayed.

Client Operation Failed 80004005-0501-80004005

CAUSE

The data in the mailbox is moved through a buffer in memory. If a property's data straddled a buffer, there was a chance that the property would be changed to PT_NULL and memory allocated for the property could not be freed.

This caused the failure in move user.
