    Dear Team,

    We have a requirement to add more than 100 users mailbox to existing Inplace Hold policy without remove existing users, wrote a script but don't work as expected with error:

    This operation requires unique source objects, but multiple objects have been found for one of the SourceMailboxes. Please use either the LegacyExchangeDN or the Guid since they should be
    unique. Second Object: Soft Deleted Objects\Helen Ceballos Vinas.
        + CategoryInfo          : NotSpecified: (:) [Set-MailboxSearch], ManagementObjectAmbiguousException
        + FullyQualifiedErrorId : [Server=MWHPR06MB3424,RequestId=8174b0d5-5a9f-430e-8161-80cd1adef8a0,TimeStamp=8/23/2017 1:30:21 PM] [FailureCategory=Cmdlet-ManagementObjectAmbiguousException]
        22616C4E,Microsoft.Exchange.Management.Tasks.SetMailboxSearch
        + PSComputerName        : outlook.office365.com

    script:

    $UserCredential = Get-Credential
    $Session = New-PSSession -ConfigurationName Microsoft.Exchange -ConnectionUri https://outlook.office365.com/powershell-liveid/ -Credential $UserCredential -Authentication Basic -AllowRedirection
    Import-PSSession $Session
    $userslist=Get-Content "our text file"
    $InPlaceHoldMailboxes = (Get-MailboxSearch "name of policy").sourceMailboxes
    $InPlaceHoldMailboxes += $userslist
    Set-MailboxSearch "msj mailboxes" -SourceMailboxes $InPlaceHoldMailboxes -InPlaceHoldEnabled $true

    can you help us?

    It appears you have duplicate mailboxes in your list.

    Then the boxes are already on hold and the error is telling you that your request is a duplicate.

    We verify the inplacehold in O365 GUI and the user is not in the source list, How to make the script continue if it finds that a user already exists in the sources?

    thanx

    Have you tried this:

    $InPlaceHoldMailboxes |
	ForEach-Object{
		Set-MailboxSearch "msj mailboxes" -SourceMailboxes $_  -InPlaceHoldEnabled $true -ErrorAction Continue
	}
