Error Message When Moving Mailbox In Exchange Server 2010: Active Directory operation failed on SERVER This error is not retriable

In Exchange Server 2010 you get this error message when you try to move a mailbox from one mailbox database to another or from one server to another.

 “Active Directory operation failed on SERVERNAME. This error is not retriable. Additional information: Insufficient access rights to perform the operation…..The user has insufficient access rights.”

from this object’s parent

After you tick the box click Apply and OK
