Suspend Move Requests

You can use the Suspend-MoveRequest cmdlet to suspend a move request any time after the move request is created, but before it reaches the status of CompletionInProgress, Completing, or Completed. You can also automatically suspend a move request by using the New-MoveRequest cmdlet ** with the SuspendWhenReadyToComplete parameter.
