Description

The Get-MigrationBatch cmdlet displays status information about the current migration batch. This information includes the following information:

  • Status of the migration batch
  • Total number of mailboxes being migrated
  • Number of successfully completed migrations
  • Migration errors
  • Date and time when the migration was started and completed.

You need to be assigned permissions before you can run this cmdlet. Although this topic lists all parameters for the cmdlet, you may not have access to some parameters if they're not included in the permissions assigned to you. To find the permissions required to run any cmdlet or parameter in your organization, see Find the permissions required to run any Exchange cmdlet.

Note: In the cloud-based service, if you don't use the TimeZone parameter in the New-MigrationBatch command, the default time zone for the migration batch is UTC. The CompleteAfter and CompleteAfterUTC properties will contain the same value (as will the StartAfter and StartAfterUTC properties). When you create the migration batch in the Exchange admin center (EAC), the time zone that's used is based on your regional configuration.
