Moving mailboxes between users: Why the delay after move?

Hello's
The environ is Exchange 2003 SP2 same admin group. I'm migrating mailboxes
from one server to another server.When the mailbox is moved it takes close to
30 mins if not longer for the mailbox to become accessible again. Is there
anything i can do to speed up the mailbox becoming accessible after the
migration?

thanks
Sky.

Are users and mailbox server in the same AD Site?

Are users and mailbox server in the same AD Site?
Post-mailbox move, this should be possible if the relevant user attributes
are replicated to the DC client computers connect to.

Yes, users and servers are in the same site.

Yes, users and servers are in the same site. After a move, the Exchange tool
gives a success. However, the users cannot access their mailboxes. Outlook
even reports an error stating there may be communication problems with the
exhange server to wait for 30 mins.

Have you run DCDIAG and NETDIAG on the DC to see if it shows anything?

Have you run DCDIAG and NETDIAG on the DC to see if it shows anything?  Can
they login through OWA during this 30 minute time?

The only reason that would happen is Active Directory replication delays.

Moving mailboxes between users: Why the delay after move?

Its typically due to replication and Outlook rules which have to
reconsolidated for lack of a better word.
