E2010 Public Folder Store on Exchange 2003...

Gents;
I have added my first Exchange 2010 Public folder to the Exchange 2003-Exchange 2010 setup. I used the '.\AddReplicaToPFRecursive.ps1 ' script to add it.
Toady my users on Exchange 2003 are having trouble seeing new items on those public folders, while the ones in 2010 can see them fine. I know I have a replication issue or at least a timing one.
My question is, can I point my Exchange 2003 mailbox servers to my Exchange 2010 public folders?
Thanks.
Hector

Hi Aditya,
please find the answer in
http://blogs.technet.com/b/agobbi/archive/2010/08/04/how-to-move-public-folder-from-exchange-2003-to-exchagne-2010.aspx
Please ensure you have a working mailflow from Exchange 2003 to 2010, vice versa, before you begin.
Basically it's the same procedure as adding some PF Database in E2K3; just
run .\AddReplicaToPFRecursive.ps1 -server "Exchange 2010 Server" -TopPublicFolder "\" -ServerToAdd "Exchange 2010 Server"
Wait until some initial data started to replicate; after that run
Update-PublicFolderHierarchy -Server "Exchange 2010 Server"
After replication has finished you can do a
.\MoveAllReplicas.ps1 -Server "Exchange 2003 Server" -NewServer "Exchange 2010 Server"
Please let me know if it worked.
Kind regards,
Martin

Public Folder Migration from Exchange 2007 to 2013

Hi Guys,
I have a general Exchange 07-13 migration question about migrating the PF's and System Folder Information, I read somewhere that the SystemFolder info doesn't come across, can someone shed some light on this for me please?
Thanks,
Ray

Hi Ray,
Free/Busy information is stored in system public folder. If you want to decommission the Exchange 2007 Server, you need to add the replicas to Exchange 2013 Server.
What's more, if the users use Outlook 2003, they will rely on the Free/Busy folders. If the users are using Outlook 2007 or newer, then Outlook utilizes something called the Availability Service and no longer relies on the Free/Busy folder.
Please refer to the following article to migrate public folders from Exchange 2007 to Exchange 2013.

Public Folder Migration from Exchange 2007 to Exchage 2007

Dear All,
We are having 2 exchange 2007 server in single copy cluster (SCR) with 1 branch exchange server in parent domain and another Ex2007 single copy cluster in child domain. We have deployed exchange 2013 SP1 in parent domain with ex2007 co-existence. We have
migrated all parent domain users mailbox from Ex2007 to Ex2013 SP1. All Ex2007 have public folders (FP). We want to decommission public folder server in parent domain and want to keep PF only in child domain (Ex2007) which should be accessible by all users.
We are facing a strange issue. As told earlier, in parent domain for ex2007 we have 2 Server in single copy cluster + 1 branch. Both have 1 FP each. We want to remove branch 1st. We ran "MoveAllReplica.ps1" script on branch to move all replica
to single copy cluster. Now it shows system folder with all 0 contents as shown below:
[PS] C:\Windows\system32>Get-PublicFolderStatistics -Server branch

Now the issue is, if we dismount the FP store on branch server, all users are unable to access their FP. they get error saying exchange is down for maintenance. If we see connection status then we saw that its trying to connect branch FP server. In all client
setting we have removed branch server PF folder. What are we missing? Now our users who migrated to Ex2013 don't have any FP client setting also to look into. We tried reading lots of stuff but nothing seems to fix. Any advise is highly appreciated.
Feel free to revert for any clarity!!
Thanks in advance!!

Dear All,
We did little research and below are the results:
1. After moving Mailbox from SingleCopyCluster(SCC) DB to Ex2013, the user while connecting to PF connects to branch exchange PFs (where is his client setting points to SCC PF). He can access PF on SCC as well
2. If we discount branch PF DB, user gets error "Exchange server down for maintenance" while expanding PF. If we see connection status then it shows trying to connecting to Branch PF
3. If we move the mailbox back to old Ex2007 SCC, users connects to right PF (only SCC) and can work without issue even if we discount branch PF DB
As we have migrated MBX to Ex2013, there is no client setting to point migrated users to SCC PF.
Hope it help all of you to suggest what might fix this..
Thanks again..

Public Folder Migration from Exchange 2007 to 2013 fails RelinquishedWlmStall budget limitations

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:

If the issue persists, please collect the relevant migration report for further troubleshooting.

Problem with public folder initialization on exchange load generator 2010

hi,
we need to make some stress charge for a migration between 2010 and 2013. Before that we need to populate our exchange 2010 lab with full mailbox and public folders. So we tried Exchange load generator 2010 for this task ( initialization only).
Loadgen did well for the mailbox but we have some problems with the public folders. we have an empty public folder database and the user we run loadgen with has organization admin and public folder management right. the problem is that when we run this command
(for initializing public folder only, mailbox's done) :
loadgencmd.exe /p /c config.xml /add trace.log
IT create only one public folder with the user we run loadgen with, and 5-8 objects inside. We need that It create a public folder for each users it created before. Maybe we do not understand loadgen
correctly...

I found my solution :
customize the <PublicStoreProfile> section in the configuration file as follows:
<PublicStoreProfile>
    <MessageFiles />
    <TopLevelFolderCount>1</TopLevelFolderCount>
    <NonTopLevelFolderCount>1</NonTopLevelFolderCount>
    <MinimumFolderDepth>1</MinimumFolderDepth>
    <AverageFolderDepth>2</AverageFolderDepth>
    <MaximumFolderDepth>3</MaximumFolderDepth>
    <MinimumMessageCount>5</MinimumMessageCount>
    <AverageMessageCount>10</AverageMessageCount>
    <MaximumMessageCount>15</MaximumMessageCount>
    <UseOrdinalFolderName>false</UseOrdinalFolderName>
</PublicStoreProfile>
Simply put differents values for each variables.

Missing feature at BES 10. Connecting public folder at Microsoft Exchange

Dear Develpment,
one of the different using BB to iOs or Android device was the it was possible to connect to public folder by BES 5.x.
So it was possible to syn your public contact folders of all employee of our company. We must do nothing, if data changed or a new employee added to the public folder.
Now with BES 10 and active sync technology this good feture isnt possible. - Pity.
But maybe in your planning for some next releases it is a way to implement this nice feature...
Blackberry must have some better features than iOS and Andoid.......so you would come back to one top smartphone seller...... I Hope so.

Hi,
Please use the Get-PublicFolderStatistics cmdlet to check if you can get public folders on Exchange 2013.
If there is no public folder listed, I recommend you run the Get-PublicFolderMigrationRequestStatistics cmdlet to view detailed information about migration requests.
Best regards,

Get-PublicFolderStatistics on the 2013 server fails with "No active public folder mailboxes were found."
Get-PublicFolderMigrationRequestStatistics needs to know more info to run. So I run it as follows:
Get-PublicFolderMigrationRequest | Get-PublicFolderMigrationRequestStatistics which gives me:
StatusDetail: StalleDueToMailboxLock
PercentComplete: 95.
This fits with the migration guide because after I reached this point I did the following to assign it to a test user:
Set-Mailbox (name of new PF mailbox) -PublicFolder -IsExcludedFromServingHierarchy $False
Set-Mailbox (name of test user) -DefaultPublicFolderMailbox (name of new PF mailbox)

Replication of Public Folder data from Exchange Sp1 to Exchange SP2

I have one Exch 2010 SP1 server and I am migrating to another Exch 2010 SP2 server. I am looking to migrate the old public folder data to a newer public folder database on the SP2 server. I have gone into Public Folder Management and added the
new server as a replication partner in properties of the folder, under "Replicate content to these public folder databases". After doing this, I don't see any replication occurring from the 2 servers. I turned on diagnostic logging on
both and I don't see any errors being created, just seem like nothing is happening.
What should I look for to troubleshoot this further?
Thanks in advance.

Hi JoeyC,
From your description, I would like to clarify the following things for troubleshooting:
1. Make sure that Mail flow is working between two servers.
2. Please refer to the following article to confirm that the configuration is right.

How to change the Name and/or Alias of a Public Folder Mailbox in Exchange 2013

So when I migrated our servers from 2010 to 2013. I did not plan well and ended up with this.
Name                      Alias
Mailbox1                  PF1
Mailbox2                  Mailbox2
Mailbox3                  Mailbox3
As you can see the first mailbox is named PF1. I want to be able to change both the name and the alias, but have failed to find mechanism for doing so in ecp or powershell. Any assistance is greatly appreciated. I would also like to change the email address
for these as right now they are [email protected], [email protected], [email protected]
Thank you very much

Set-Mailbox -Identity Mailbox1 -PublicFolder -Name NewName1 -Alias NewName1 -PrimarySMTPAddress [email protected]

Mail-enabled Public Folders not accepting email from external users after migrating from Exchange 2003

We are in the process of trying to decommission our Exchange 2003 server, all of the replicas have been moved to the Exchange 2010 SP3 servers. However, each time we dismount the public folder store on the 2003 server (just to see what won't work) nobody
from outside the company can send mail to the mail-enabled public folders (we use these to communicate with vendors and customers).....they sit in the 2003 mail queue until I remount the store.
I have mail disabled them on the 2010 PF server, waited a few hours and then mail enabled them again. Same issue. Interesting to note is that when the PF store on the 2003 server is dismounted people inside
the company can still send to the mail-enabled PFs (which is good). I am stumped.

Public Folder Hierarchy From 2003 - LDAP Provider Error

I am in the process of moving the public folders. Currently all data from within the folders has been migrated over and the old servers have been removed from replication. My next step is to move the Hierarchy, when I drag the folder from the
2003 Administrative group to the 2010 Administrative group I receive the following:
Exchange System Manager
The server is unwilling to process the request.
Facility: LDAP Provider

I have gone through the permissions for the ADSI objects and folders. According to them the user that is performing the action has the rights to do so.

Hi,
In order to troubleshoot the issue more efficiently, I need to clarify some information.
1. Could you expand the public folder hierarchy in Exchange 2003?
2. Is there any error messages in the application log?
3. Could you please run EXBPA to check the health of the Exchange 2003? What's the result?
Here is an article about migrating public folders from Exchange 2003 to Exchange 2010, could you please follow that to check the result?

Public Folder Free/Busy event 4003 and 4004

Hello,
We migrated from exchange 2003 to 2010. Migration was successfull; all mailboxes are moved, public folder replicated and exchange 2003 was uninstalled like it should. Public Folder Hierarchy was moved to the new administrative group.
Since the last exchange 2003 server was uninstalled, we get events 4003 and 4003 on our CAS servers.
event id 4004
Process Microsoft.Exchange.InfoWorker.Common.Delayed`1[System.String]: Unable to find a public folder server for organizational unit (OU) EXCHANGE ADMINISTRATIVE GROUP (FYDIBOHF23SPDLT).
The service will attempt to find a random server, which may take a longer time to service the request.
event id 4003
Process Microsoft.Exchange.InfoWorker.Common.Delayed`1[System.String]: DAVPublicFolderRequest for 1 mailboxes at EXCHANGE ADMINISTRATIVE GROUP (FYDIBOHF23SPDLT) failed.
The exception returned is Microsoft.Exchange.InfoWorker.Common.Availability.PublicFolderRequestProcessingException: The public folder server for the given legacy mailbox was not found.. The request information is
<Null>.
. Name of the server where exception originated: CAS1. The Availability service could not successfully retrieve Schedule+ free/busy data for one or more legacy Exchange mailboxes.
To find the root cause of this error, increase the diagnostic logging level of the MSExchange Availability service
I have set the log level to expert, but no additional usefull information showed up. I can't find any legacy mailbox on the exchange 2010 servers.
I didn't receive any complaints about availability information so far. (all clients on OL2010)
Anyone an idea on how to solve this issue?

Error when moving Exchange Public Folder Tree Hierarchy

Hello,
I am during the transition from Exchange 2003 to 2007.
At the end of migrating Exchange 2003 to Exchange 2007 I have moved all the mailboxes, Public and System Folders have been replicated and moved, Mailbox Store and Public Store had been removed, Routing Connectors removed ...
I then created new Public Folder Container in Exchange Administrative Group (FYDIBOHF23SPDLT) and I attempted to drag and drop the Public Folder Tree Hierarchy from old Administrative Group to Exchange Administrative Group using ESM 2003.
During this I got the following error:
Access Denied.
Facility: LDAP Provider
ID no: 8007005
Exchange System Manager
Every public and system folders works fine (replicated to Exchange 2007), but the Public Folder Hierarchy is still on Exchange 2003.
Anyone has any idea how to continue decommission of Exchange 2003?
Regards,
Jacek

As I wrote before, when I tried to drag and drop the Public Folder Tree Hierarchy, I used account which had delegated Exchange Full Administrator role in Exchange 2003 and was also member of Enterprise Admins / Domain Admins in AD and Exchange Organization
Administrators in Exchange 2007. According to Sembee suggestion, it is more than needed ...
I think about manual deleting Public Folder Tree Hierarchy object from old Administrative Group (using ADSIEdit) and then recreating the new one in Exchange Administrative Group - using the following steps:
http://blog.bruteforcetech.com/archives/766
But I'm not sure if System Folders will be accessible then. There are many Outlook 2003 in organization, so "old" OAB access is necessary ...
I can take report of permissions for the problematic Public Folder Tree Hierarchy object using dsacls.exe, if needed (there are many ACEs in DACL on them). I can also check Effective Permission for user I used for moving.
But in both cases, I don't have any reference. I mean correct permission set for such object or necessary permission set for user used for moving.

Finalising the migration of Exchange 2003 public folders over to an Exchange 2010 environment

After migrating all the user mailboxes, I set up replicas of the Public Folders which I have been running for several weeks.
Once everything had been replicated, using System Manager on the Exchange 2003 server, I removed the source replica server from the list (aka the Exchange 2003 server).
Is this step sufficient to move the replicas over?
Under the First Storage Group -->Public Folder Store do I need to run the
Move All Replicas command? Will this generate a lot of traffic given that I have ran replication for a number of weeks?
I saw somewhere some Exchange 2010 a similar Powershell command .\MoveAllReplicas.psl as well.
I have updated the offline address book, carried out the Address List Conversion and Recipient Polices.
If everything is in order, I am going to run the uninstall on the 2003 server.

After verifying that all the public folders are been replicated, I carried out the following:-
On the Exchange 2003 server under System Mangager > First Storage Group, I issued the command Move All Replicas over the weekend.
When I came back in today I could see the contents of the Public Folders
are now empty.
However, the Public Folder Instances still appears to have content. Is this normal?
On the Exchange 2010 server I have since issued the MoveAllReplicas.ps1 script to see if this will make any difference.
In addition when browsing the Default Public Folders via EMC, if I attempt to Update Content on any of the Public Folders I get the following error:
Cannot start replication against public folder....
MapiExceptionNoReplicaAvailable: StartContentReplication failed.

Exchange 2007 error relating to Public Folder Database

Hi
We migrated from Exchange 2003 to Exchange 2007 recently as we already had the licence so decided to take advantage of it.
We unfortunately forgot to migrate the Public Folders as we mistakenly thought as we didn't use them they were no longer needed in Exchange 2007.
We are now receiving
"Event ID 8207, MSExchangeFBPublish
Error updating public folder with free/busy information on virtual machine BARR-EXCH-001. The error number is 0x80004005."
On the server, I have tried http://support.microsoft.com/kb/945602 and the command
doesnt show an error but
Get-PublicFolder -Identity "\NON_IPM_SUBTREE\SCHEDULE+ FREE BUSY" -Recurse | fl name,Replicas
Still shows no entry for the NON_IPM_SUBTREE\SCHEDULE+ FREE BUSY. I have been advised to create a new PF store on the server as the one currently is probably empty or corrupted.
To do this would I follow this article http://technet.microsoft.com/en-GB/library/bb123687(v=exchg.80).aspx
Or
Dismount the public folder database on the Exchange 2007 serverGo to the folder path of the EDB filedelete\move the EDB fileGo back to the management console and mount the
public folder database. You will get a warning that one or more database files is missing. Go ahead and clickOK to mount a blank database file.?
Any help/advice appreciated.
Cheers

Hi,
If the existing file is corrupt, I recommend you recreate a new public folder database in Exchange 2007.
To create a new public folder database, you can refer to the following article.
