Could not migrate MMF file for account.

In the Event Viewer, the administrator may see the following events:

Event ID: 151 Source: MSExchangeMig Description: "Could not migrate MMF file for account. " "UserId : "

"Mmfpath: "

-or-

ID: 135 Source: MSExchangeMig Description: "Could not migrate MMF file for account. " "UserId : " "Mmfpath: "



CAUSE
The mail message file (MMF) is either locked open or is in an unstable condition.



WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, the administrator should follow these steps:
 * 1) Recover the user's MMF password.
 * 2) Logon as that user, and then log off.
 * 3) Rerun the migration utility for this user.

The user should now be migrated without a problem.
