In Exchange 2010, the Microsoft Exchange system mailbox is an arbitration mailbox used to store organization-wide data such as administrator audit logs, metadata for eDiscovery searches, and Unified Messaging data such as menus, dial plans, and custom greetings. When you install Exchange 2016 into an existing Exchange 2010 organization, you need to move the arbitration mailbox to an Exchange 2016 server. If you don’t move the arbitration mailbox, Exchange 2016 cmdlets that are run won’t be logged in the administrator audit log, and eDiscovery searches run on Exchange 2016 servers will be queued but won’t start.
