Permanent Error During Migration from Exchange 2007 to Exchange 2013

Since our migration schedule is very lax, I am able to record some of the issue I get during our migration process and the fixes for them.

The latest is an error during a user migration from Exchange 2007 to Exchange 2013.  The affected user is added to a batch to migrate but errors out immediately without any items syncing.  The error is as follows:

Migration Error

To paraphrase the image:

MigrationPermanentException:  Active Directory property 'homeMDB' is not writeable on recipient 'path\to\recipient\inAD'.

Great, another bump in my migration path.... right?

Well it turns out that the fix for this particular issue is the exact same as another migration issue I had here.

In short, another AD user object whose security permissions weren't inheriting from it's parent and thus missing the write permission on the homeMDB parameter.

Glad that was an easy fix.  And thanks to MS forums for that fix.
