Can't complete public folder migration, 2010 to 2013

So I've been following both these:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj150486(v=exchg.150).aspx
http://www.msexchange.org/articles-tutorials/exchange-server-2013/migration-deployment/migrating-public-folders-exchange-2013-part2.html
I've locked the 2010 PFs, nobody can access them. I've removed the preventcompletion flag in 2013, resumed the migration all according to the steps.
Get-PublicFolderMigrationRequest | Get-PublicFolderMigrationRequestStatistics -IncludeReport | Format-List
Shows no further activity any longer after some incremental stuff
Get-PublicFolderMigrationRequest | Get-PublicFolderMigrationRequestStatistics
Shows StatusDetail: InitialSeeding and PercentComplete: 95% and its not moving.
I've tried proceeding and removing the prevention from servering the hierarchy flag on my mailboxes. But it makes no impact on anything. The hold for migration flag remains true and the migration is not finishing.
What should I do?

Give it some more time. I don't know how much Public Folder data you have, but once the initial sync is done, it has to copy over the deltas to the mailboxes. I have seen this take some time. As long as it doesn't say failed, I think
you are in good shape :)

Public Folder Migration - 2010 to 2013 - Downtime incurred at "Lockdown" Stage

Looking for some information from those who have completed a successful Public Folder migration from 2010 to 2013.
1. Size of 2010 Public Folder Store
2. Downtime incurred upon the "Lock down 2010 Public Folder" stage once all mailboxes moved to 2013 and ready to cut-over to 2013

After Public Folder Migration 2010 to 2013

Last week I used technet page to migrate our exchange 2010 public folders over to exchange 2013. I'm still new to exchange management so I'm trying to understand what to do next.
The migration move showed 100% complete and successful and now show up as a mailbox in the 2013 admin center. I thought to myself Great! I did it. So I attempted to decommission my 2010 exchange server.
I attempted to remove my public folder database in the 2010 EMC and it tells me the database still contains folder replicas.
I found a couple options as possible fixes, either to remove it in ADSI edit or delete the files in the folder. I just want to make sure doing so won't effect the 2013 public folders.
Or should I do this a different way? Thanks in advance.

I had the server shut down for about 10 minutes and tested and was able to access PF's normally. Would you suggest longer?
Also I did attempt to remove the public folders via that article already and got the following error. I'm connected as an Admin with the correct rights.
[PS] C:\program files\microsoft\exchange server\v14\scripts>.\MoveAllReplicas.ps1 -Server mx2010 -NewServer mx2013

Public folder migration 2010 to 2013 insufficient access rights

Hi,
I'm having a frustrating time with trying to migrate public folders. I've migrated all the mailboxes with no problems but when trying to migrate public folders with the same account it fails with this message;
Active directory response: 00002098: SecErr: DSID-03150BB9, problem 4003
(INSUFF_ACCESS_RIGHTS), data 0
--> The user has insufficient access rights.
The account is in the organisation management and recipient management group.
I've tried ticking the inherit permission box in AD security.
I've tried creating a brand new account with the same permissions.
Nothing works. I'm tempted just to export to pst and import it to the public folder mailbox.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks

Hi Nick,
ensure that the new admin account has the allow inheritance permission included
Also ensure that the account has full rights to all the public folders in Ex2010
Go to the application log and there would be an event triggered for the same with some description. YOu can find that it might be failing permission on a particular public folder if so grant them access.
And also check if the permission failed public folder is mail enabled. If so please disable the mail enable on that PF cancel the migration request and start a new migration request with the below cmd
New-publicfoldermigrationrequest -sourcedatabase (Get-publicfolderdatabase -server servername -csvdata (get-content c:\contents.csv -encoding byte) -BadItemLimit 5000 -AcceptLargeDataLoss
Please mark as helpful if you find my contribution useful or as an answer if it does answer your question.That will encourage me - and others - to take time out to help you.

Public Folder migration (2010 - 2010) replication issues

Hi all,
I'm currently migrating from one exchange 2010 SP2, to another exchange 2010 SP2 server, and all is complete apart from damn public folders.
Via EMS I ran
.\AddRelicaToPFRecursive.sp1 -TopPublicFolder "\" -ServerToAdd "NewEXC10"
And I left exchange a day or so to chug along through the 1GB of public folders. I went to check the replication by running
Get-PublicFolder -Recurse | fl Name, Replicas
And I get:
Name: IPM_SUBTREE
Replicas: <>
Name: All Public Folders
Replicas: <Old PFDB. New PFDB>
Name: Meeting rooms
Replicas: <Old PFDB>
Name: Company Contacts
Replicas: <Old PFDB>
and this goes on for every sub folder under the public folders. I also tried
Get-PublicFolderStatistics -Server "OLDEXCH10"
Get-PublicFolderStatistics -Server "NEWEXCH10"
So I could get the item counts, in case everything had copied over but is not showing folder structure.I get
OLDEXC10
Name ItemCount
All Public Folders 0
Meeting Rooms 137
Company Contacts 43
NEWEXC10
Name ItemCount
All Public Folders 0
/o=domain/cm=addres...0
I've not gotten any errors in the event log, and attempted to initate the replication again, but with the same results. Can any one please help?
Many thanks,

Hi,
To troubleshoot this issue more efficiently, I need to clarify one thing.
Did you delete an Exchange 2003 server before?
If you had uninstalled the legacy Exchange server, please check if there is an empty Servers container under the administrative group container. If it is there, please remove the empty servers container to check the result.
If you didn't remove Exchange 2003 server in your organization, you can check the following suggestions.
Please check if the mail flow between two servers was working fine.
From the output of ruing the Get-PublicFolder -Recurse | fl Name, Replicas cmdlet, I noticed that the public folder Meeting rooms and Company Contacts didn't have replicas on the New PFDB. You can add the New PFDB to the replica list via Public Folder Management
Console.
After that, please set the public folder replication schedule to Always Run.
Did you update the public folder content using the Update-PublicFolder cmdlet? If not, please run this command to check the result.
If the issue persists, please increase the Diagnostic Logging Level for MSExchangeIS\9001 Public to Expert to check if there is any related errors to narrow down the issue.

Exchange 2010 - 2013 Public Folder Migration target database gets much bigger than source database

Hi,
i have a question about the pf migration from Exchange 2010 to Exchange 2013. The source database ist about 370 GB. The migration process is still running. At the moment the target database is already 491GB big. Is that a normal behaviour during the migration
process.
Thanks

Hi,
After you have finished the public folder migration process, you can compare the item count of public folders to make sure all public folders have been moved to Exchange 2013.
You can check this by comparing the snapshots before and after the migration. You can refer to the "How do I know this worked?" section in the following article.

Hey Guys!
I'm in the process of testing a Public Folder migration from Exchange 2010 to 2013, I've been following the recommened migration scenario from Microsoft but have ran into this issue when running New-PublicFolderMigrationRequest. I let the request sit at a queued status for over 6 hours and then decided to look at the event logs. I'm receiving an access denied, requesting account does not have permission to serialize tokens.
Luckily this is just a test and not in a production environment :-)
Any suggestion or help to point me in the right direction would be appreciated

Exchange 2013 Public Folder Migration Problem

Hi All,
Wonder if any of you can assist with a public folder issue I am having with Exchange 2013. We have migrated from Exchange 2010 to 2013.
I have followed the guide for public folder migration here
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj150486(v=exchg.150).aspx
Everything went fine and as per the document - except I had to use the "largeitemlimit" parameter to get the public folder migration to complete.
We tested the public folder migration by adding content to public folders and creating public folders and it all appeared to be OK, we completed the migration and removed our old public folder databases from Exchange 2010.
However we noticed later that users cannot CREATE folders in SOME public folders. It appears from some testing that any folder that does not lie in the first public folder mailbox, end users cannot create public folders. Administrators can create them
fine from the ECP - just not from outlook.
It also appears some users cannot see some folders that they have permissions to.
Can anyone assist with some ideas to resolve ?
Thanks.

Question?
Are you able to create the Folder in OWA?

it is not functionally possible to create Public Folders in OWA user interface in Exchange 2013!.... From admin ECP it works fine!
My Bad, that's what I was trying to say.
Testing the same thing in the LAB, should have some update tomorrow morning.

Public folder migration: Whats wrong with this Folder to mailbox file?

Hi,
This is my Folder to Mailbox file, migrating public folders from 2010 to 2013:
"FolderPath","TargetMailbox"
"\","Hierarchy-PF"
"\IPM_SUBTREE\Office1","Office1-PF"
"\IPM_SUBTREE\Office2","Office2-PF"
"\IPM_SUBTREE\Office3","Office3-PF"
"\IPM_SUBTREE\Office4","Office4-PF"
All these PF mailboxes live in a dedicated database. But only the mailbox DB containing Hierarchy-PF is growing and my initial migration (New-PublicFolderMigrationRequest / Step 5 in the technet article) is over 50% percent complete. This mailbox is going
to be over 300GB big and I gather the limit is 100GB, I'm sure that can be exceeded without problems, but I had several different reasons splitting the mailboxes and data the way I wanted above.
Questions:
1. How do I achieve the end result I want? Do I need to add a \ to the end of the office1-5 ipm_subtree perhaps?
2. Is there any problem with me stopping the existing migration, deleting that request/mailbox/DB and starting over?
Thanks.

Hi,
From your description, it seems that all public folders are migrated to the public folder mailbox "Hierarchy-PF".
Please run the following command to check if these migrated public folders are under the public folder mailbox "Hierarchy-PF".
Get-PublicFolderStatistics | ft Name, MailboxOwnerId
And please use the following command to check migration report.
Get-PublicFolderMigrationRequest | Get-PublicFolderMigrationRequestStatistics -IncludeReport | fl

Hi,
Basic on the error message, I notice that public folder migrate slow and display that “Relinquishing job because of large delays due to unfavorable server health or budget limitations” .
If I misunderstand your concern, please do not hesitate to let me know.
Since it is just slow and not failing, please do not stop the batch, it might connect to another server for sync.
Meanwhile, please refer to below link so that get details about Exchange Online migration performance and best practices:
https://technet.microsoft.com/library/dn592150(v=exchg.150).aspx
If the issue persists, please collect the relevant migration report for further troubleshooting.

Exchange 2013 Public Folder Migration Not Listed

I started a public folder migration from my 2010 SP3 Exchange server to my new 2013 SP1 Exchange server. Somewhere during the process I failed. Not sure where but I am now at the point where if I try to create a new public folder on teh 2013 box i get a
warning like this.
An existing Public Folder deployment has been detected. To migrate existing Public Folder data, create new Public Folder mailbox using -HoldForMigration switch.
So I then run Get-PublicFoldermIgrationRequest to see what is still waiting... I get no migration listed in Exchange Management Shell.
I would like to find the place in AD or in the Server that thinks there is still an active request out there and remove it so I can start again with a clean slate. How do I do that?
Thanks!

Hi Zulea,
This is a known issue, I recommend you refer to the following article to resolve the issue:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/3004062/en-us
Cause:
This problem occurs when the Exchange organization coexists with an earlier version of Exchange Server, and one or more public folder databases from the earlier version of Exchange still exist.
Resolution:
To resolve this issue, use one of the following methods.
Method 1: Create the mailbox by using the -HoldForMigration switch:
This option lets an administrator create a public folder mailbox in order to begin a migration from the existing public folders:
Open the Exchange Management Shell.
Run the following cmdlet to create the public folder mailbox:
New-Mailbox "Public Folder Mailbox" -PublicFolder -HoldForMigration
Method 2: Remove all public folder databases from earlier versions of Exchange Server
To remove existing public folder databases, see the following TechNet websites, as appropriate for the version of Exchange that an existing public folder resides on.
Exchange 2010:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd876883(v=exchg.141).aspx
(http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd876883(v=exchg.141).aspx)
Exchange 2007:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa998329(v=EXCHG.80).aspx
(http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa998329(v=EXCHG.80).aspx)
Create the public folder mailbox by using either the Exchange Admin Center (EAC) or the Exchange Management Shell (EMS). To do this, see the following TechNet website:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj552410(v=exchg.150).aspx

Exchange Contact Public Folder Migration Question

I am migrating our Exchange 2010 environment to Exchange 2013. We are migrating all of our public folders into SharePoint before we continue with the migration. Most of our public folders are calendars, so it has been a pretty cut and dry migration.
We do have one public folder that is designated for emergency contacts. It contains the personal contact information for the CEO as well as other high up execs and managers from around the company.
Here is my dilemma. I need to migrate this out of public folders, but it still needs to remain in Exchange somewhere. I need to accomplish the following
1. Be able to view all user contact info, not just email address
2. Be able to apply permissions to the folder so that only certain individuals can gain access to these contacts
3. Be available to sync with said user's mobile devices, so that they have 24X7 access to that information
I am not real sure how to accomplish this and am open to any ideas. I am very new to SharePoint, so not sure how you might be able to leverage SharePoint to do the same thing. Any information that anybody could provide would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance,
--Scott

Hi Scott,
Since this is Exchange Server Forum, if you have any problem on SharePoint, I suggest ask SharePoint Forum for help so that you can get more professional suggestions. For your convenience:
https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/office/en-US/home?category=sharepoint
Here is some information related to Exchange for your reference.
Based on my knowledge, Exchange 2013 is different from previous version of Exchange server. For example, public folder. Public folder in Exchange 2013 doesn’t based on public folder database, it is a mailbox level, called public folder mailbox.
We can follow following article to perform the public folder migration.
Use serial migration to migrate public folders to Exchange 2013 from previous versions

Public folder migration question - Outlook

Will users need to restart outlook once the public folders have been migrated from 2007 to 2013? I know a downtime is required but I'm curious what the end users should expect when this happens. They are all on outlook 2010. We are going to send
out communication to our users. Thanks.

Hello,
My environment is outlook 2010, exchange 2013. After I migrate public folder from exchange 2007 to exchange 2013, the outlook doesn't response the changes. So I restart outlook, it applies public folder changes.
During you migrate public folder, these steps (Lock down the public folders on the legacy Exchange server and finalize the public folder migration) require downtime, and you will not only access public folder. In my environment, the outlook clients can connect
to exchange server, and access other services, GAL and so on.

EXCHANGE 2013 Public Folder Migration across Domain Forest

Hi
I am planning to migration public folder across the forest but unable find any documentation. can you guys share the step by step guide to move/migrate public folder. we have exchange 2013 in source and target forest.
Please help!

Hi,
Currently, there is no official document about Exchange 2013 cross-forest public folder migration. Maybe some third party software can help you to do cross forest public folder migration.
Best regards,

Exchange Public Folder Migration - Public Folder Mailbox "LockedforMigration"

I've recently started a SBS2008 (Exchange 2007 - Latest SP3) migration to Exchange 2013CU6.
Most of the Migration has gone to plan however I've been following a few guides on the Public Folder migration and have seen more errors and time spent than what it is worth.
I've now decided to abandon the Public folder migration as there wasn't really anything of importance in the old 2007 Public Folders, and just setup a new Public Folder Mailbox and PF Folder on the 2013 environment, however... as I started with the migration
the 2013 Server is stuck in "LockedforMigration" mode and will not allow me to create a new Public Folder.
Is there anyway to forcibly 'unstuck/release' the "LockedforMigration = True value.
Or can I just start decommissioning the old 2007 Box and that will force the unlocking of Migration flag
By no means is this the only guide, but here is what I've been following if that will help

Hi Ian,
According to the error message above, please make sure you are running the command as Administrator, and make sure the Administrator is a member of Organization Management Group and Server Management Group. Then try to run command to release "LockedforMigration
$True".
Since Public Folders on Exchange server 2013 can't be coexisted with legacy Public Folders within an Org, you should delete Public Folder Database from legacy Exchange server 2007 first, then create a new Public Folder Mailbox on Exchange server 2013.
Thanks
