Mailbox Migration - MAPI_E_FAILONEPROVIDER / Invalid Data

Mailbox migrations can be challenging and interesting   I ran into an issue this morning with one mailbox using Quest Migration Manager.  Quest Mail Target Agent (MTA) was failing with our “favorite” MAPI_E_FAILONEPROVIDER error. 

1/29/2013 5:16:19 PM    CSession::Logon               Error      -2147221219       You do not have permission to log on. - MAPI_E_FAILONEPROVIDER (Microsoft Exchange Server Information Store)  Low level error: 0x0 File: 'aeWrapHelpers.h' Line: '279'

1/29/2013 5:16:19 PM    MailKernel::Connect      Informational    2079       Synchronization status: Object XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX synchronization was not started due to connection errors.

When I open the properties of this mailbox in Exchange 2010 side, I was getting the following error message:

I found some detailed error message by going through the properties of this mailbox.   In my case it was due the value of Delivery Restriction property in Exchange 2010.

The 30 GB Sending message size!!! (don’t ask me why ) was configured in the source mailbox.  

QMM tries to populate this value during the Quest directory sync.  It was failing due to the size limitation in the target Exchange 2010 environment.
