Situation:
We have a remote customer site. lets say their internal domain is domain.local and external is domain.com.
At the remote customer site we have server01.domain.local as fqdn.
The remote customer site uses 172.90.140.X
Our site uses 172.90.141.X
in between is a vpn with the most common exchange ports open in both ways:
25/TCP (smtp)
53/UDP (dns)
53/TCP (dns)
443/tcp (webservices)
80/tcp (webservices)
143/tcp (imap)
993/tcp (imap)
110/tcp (pop)
995/tcp (pop)
587/tcp (smtp)
We have a DC at our side and we are using the same domain. in addition we are also in the same exchange forest.
our server is called server02.domain.local.
I can mail fine between users hosted on databases in each site. in addition i can create users "remotely" by powershell and the gui.
However i cannot seem to move users from one site to another. When i execute the following:
New-MoveRequest -Identity test.migrationmbx@domain.com -TargetDatabase "MBX database 3"-whatif
i get the following error message:
MapiExceptionNetworkError: Unable to make connection to the server. (hr=0x80004005, ec=2423)Diagnostic context:

I have found an article stating that you should update dns or your hostfile to include the fqdn of the server.
However i have tried pinging towards each side by using the netbios and fqdn names. Both work, towards each side.
So currently i am at a complete loss. please help me resolve the issue.
