We have an odd issue when trying to move mailboxes to Databases with Exchange 2013 Build 847.32 on all servers affected.
We have 2013 successfully deployed within the UK (3 servers, with a DAG) we are looking to deploy an additional 2 servers in the US across an MPLS WAN. The US has it's own DAG in the US and its own MAPI network (this MAPI network is tested routable to the UK) DAG own replication network not routable, and simply a cross over...
The Migration Arbitration mailbox is located within the UK DAG, it exists as do the other Arbitration mailboxes and everything works fine moving mailboxes across DBs in the UK...
As soon as I try and move a mailbox in the US between the two server (or even on the same server within the US) it comes up with the following error after about 20mins: Worth stressing that all migration within the UK DAG work perfectly fine...
Error:MigrationTransientException: Failed to communicate with the mailbox database. --> Failed to communicate with the mailbox database. --> MapiExceptionMdbOffline: Unable to make connection to the server.

I assume this is looking for the Migration Arbitration mailbox in the UK, across the WAN and is failing but all other features seem to work fine... In fact if I try to migrate using the Shell on a US server, it works fine so this seems to be limited to the Console...
WAN connectivity is fine, I have done a TCP any any on the ASAs to make sure there is full communication and everything else works fine...
Any ideas as to why it seems to be failing to see the Arbitration mailbox? I t is also worth mentioning I have re-run the ADPREP /Alldomains to ensure there is no corruption within the Arbitration mailboxes...
I have probably missed something very simple somewhere but for the life of me can't think where...
Any help gratefully received...
