EDIT: significantly changed my question here to streamline it a bit. I've gone ahead and used 100 as my corrupted item count and ran it from the Exchange Shell.

So the trail of tears continues with my SBS 2003 to 2011 migration: all the mailboxes have moved mailbox store from OLDSERVER to NEWSERVER, with the Local Move Requests completing successfully, except for one.

What I'd like to do now is review the previous move request log files: when they were in progress, I could right-click Properties > Log > View Log File, but now that they're completed, that's not available. Nor can I use:

Get-MoveRequestStatistics <user> -includereport | fl MoveReport

...as the move request has now completed and it errors out with "couldn't find a move request that corresponds...".

Basically what I'd like to do is present the list of baditems to the user so that they're aware of what items didn't come across and if anything important was lost, be able to check their current OST, an archive.pst, etc. to recover it if possible.

If this all needs to be wrapped up in a batch Exchange power shell command to pipe the output to log files on disk somewhere, I'm all ears, and would appreciate it for the next migration we do.
