This mailbox is in many migration jobs i am not sure how to remove it from all the previous migration jobs. Experts guide me

Answer 1

Run the below command to remove the mailbox from the first migration batch in the list:

Remove-MigrationUser -Identity <MailboxIdentity> -BatchId 'FirstBatch'

Repeat this step for each migration batch that the mailbox is in.

Once you have removed the mailbox from all migration jobs, you can try migrating it again.
