Even if you performed mailbox moves with PowerShell in Exchange 2007 or 2010, it's important that you understand that the process has evolved with new features, such as the ability to move reports together with batch move requests. There is a new set of cmdlets available for performing and managing mailbox moves. The architecture used by Exchange to perform mailbox moves uses a new concept known as move requests, which have been implemented in Exchange 2010 and have been further developed in Exchange 2013.
