Enable legacy public folders for Exchange 2013 prior to migration?

We're about ready to migrate to Exchange 2013 from 2010. We have a public folder database on 2010 that users can't see once migrated to 2013. If I run through the commands according to the technet article "Configure legacy public folders where user
mailboxes are on Exchange 2013 servers" (https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn690134(v=exchg.150).aspx), will users who's mailboxes are still on Exchange 2010 be able to see these public folders?

I know they've made alot of changes recently in how legacy public folders are handled in Exchange 2013 (mostly CU7), but I haven't had to do anything more than just setting the proper public folder database on the Exchange 2013 databases.
That being said, looking over the article you are not doing any moves, and it looks eerily similar to this blog post:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/exchange/archive/2014/11/07/on-premises-legacy-public-folder-coexistence-for-exchange-2013-cumulative-update-7-and-beyond.aspx
So I don't think this would hurt Public Folder access for your users in your legacy environment.
Did you deploy CU7? If so, then do what both articles say. If not try using Set-MailboxDatabase -Identity <2013 db name> -PublicFolderDatabase <PF DB NAME>

Is it possible to access the Public Folders in Exchange 2013 during a migration from Exchange 2007 to verify the files are there?

This is a migration from Exchange 2007 to Exchange 2013. We're in the middle of migrating the Public Folders. Is it possible to configure a database to point to the Exchange 2013 public folders so I can verify the data before the final cut?
If so what are the steps to do that? Thanks in advance.

To my knowledge no. It's an all or nothing thing with public folders.

Migrating public folders to exchange 2013 hebrew issue

I am migrating public folders to exchange 2013. half of them a named in hebrew.
The migration fails, the error is character related.
Is it possible at all to migrate hebrew named public folders?

Hi,
Did you got the error message mentioned in the following thread?
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/exchange/en-US/8b383a46-b710-4fc0-aa0b-e52f288cf93d/e2010-to-e2013-public-folders-migration-failed?forum=exchangesvrdeploy
If so, please check if they are mail-enabled public folders. If they are mail-enabled public folders, please make sure there are no invalid characters in alias.
Based on the description, you couldn't migrate public folders named in Hebrew, other public folders could be moved successfully. If I misunderstood your concern, please let me know.
If the issue persists, I'm afraid you need to rename these public folders in English.

Having issues seeing public folders in Exchange 2013.

We have an multi-tenant Exchange 2013 environment and are currently trying to set up up Public Folders for use with one of our tenants.
I have created the primary public folder mailbox and then created a public folder for the Tenant and assigned the necessary permissions to user account I would like to access the folder from (in this case "owner" permissions). However I cannot
see the public folder from Outlook. This is the case with both Outlook 2007 and Outlook 2013. I have made sure I am in the folder view (Cntrl + 6) but I see no public folders to speak of. I am able to log into OWA and add the public folder
to the favourite list by right clicking and selecting "add public folder", I am also able to access the public folders using a third party mobile app for iPhone called "Public Folders". I've also tried creating completely new profiles
in both versions of Outlook but I cannot see the public folders that way either.
We are currently using a third party wildcard certificate with our multi-tenant environment, not sure if that would have an impact on what we are doing here but thought I'd throw that in just in case.

Hi,
Do you mean the public folder still cannot be seen even you logged the Outlook 2007 good user on an Outlook 2013 machine?

Viewing attachments in Public Folders in Exchange 2013 SP1 OWA

Hello!
Tell me please should the file preview work in Public Folders (for example for docx files) in OWA 2013 SP1? This file can be easily opened in MS Word but clicking the
Preview leads to the following error:
Thank you in advance,
Michael

Hi Jessie,
Thank you for your help!
"To preview these files in Inbox in OWA, Exchange 2013 could has its own process to achieve this function. I tried it in Exchange 2013 CU1 environment, it is also working when previewing these files in the Inbox
in OWA." - that's the only possible explanation... but it means this article is not correct:
http://technet.microsoft.com/library/2591b1be-92c4-4192-9f5e-e4e6b319170a"
"By default, the following file types are displayed
using Office Web Apps Server:
Word documents (doc, docx, dotx, dot, dotm extensions)
Excel documents (xls, xlsx, xlsm, xlm, xlsb extensions)
PowerPoint documents (ppt, pptx, pps, ppsx, potx, pot, pptm, potm, ppsm extensions)
...cause I can preview files without Office Web Apps Server. Why there's no corresponding information on technet?
To put it mildly, documentation for Exchange 2013 is rather strange...

Edit public folders in Exchange 2013

With the help of Microsoft I migrated my whole 2007 exchange to exchange 2013 including public folders. In 2007 I had a DB with folders like "First Year Students", "Second Year Students" ect... and used to update the contents
of these folder in the DB with CSV files. All of my migrated public folders show up in EAC/Public Folders as "PFMB1" I have no idea how or even if I can edit this.
Any help on this area would be appreciated

What I should look out for, Exchange 2013

I have a Exchange 2010 server on Server 2008R2. I just installed Exchange 2013 on Server 2012R2. Anyone know what changes i need to make to begin moving users over to the new server? Shouldn't it have pulled all the settings over from the other exchange
server?

Hi,
To migrate from Exchange 2010 to Exchange 2013, you can refer to the articles provided by Amit Tank.
For one thing about public folders, Exchange 2013 users can access public folders on Exchange 2010, but Exchange 2010 users can't access public folders on Exchange 2013. If you still use public folders, you need to migrate mailboxes before moving public
folders to Exchange 2013.

Custom Folders in Exchange 2013

Hi-
Is there a way to push out additional standard folders to each Exchange 2013 mailbox? If I wanted each user to have a 5 year, 3 year, and 1 year folder, is this possible? Is there some type of script? Someone mentioned to me that there
is a .NET app that uses built-in Exchange functionality to deploy folders to user’s Exchange mailboxes--an "Exchange Folder Generator."
Thank you-
John

Hi John,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to create the following custom folders for Exchange 2013 mailbox:
1 year folder: All items received 1 years ago;
3 years folder: All items received 3 years ago;
5 years folder: All items received 5 years ago;
Is it right?
If that is the case, I think there is no feature in Exchange to achieve it.
As a workaround, we can consider Ed’s suggestion to create retention policy. The retention tag
specifies how long a message remains in a mailbox and the action to be taken when the message reaches the specified retention age.
Please note that when a message reaches its retention age, it's moved to the user’s In-Place Archive or deleted instead of being moved to another custom folders.

Configure legacy public folders where user mailboxes are on Exchange 2013 servers

Hello all,
I have mailboxes on an exchange 2013 server than need access to public folders on a 2010 server before I migrate them over. I followed the commands in the TechNet article with the subject "Configure legacy public folders where user mailboxes
are on Exchange 2013 servers" (sorry, I wasn't allowed to insert a link because I wasn't verified?). The problem is when I run the last command of "Set-OrganizationConfig -PublicFoldersEnabled Remote -RemotePublicFolderMailboxes ProxyMailbox1,ProxyMailbox2,ProxyMailbox3"
on the 2013 server, using the mailbox name I had created, it says it cannot be found. Of course I checked and the mailbox exists, is configured properly, and so is the new database. The 2013 EAC also sees the mailbox with no issues.
Can someone tell me why I am getting this error?
Thanks,
Shaibal

Hi Mavis,
Thank you for your response. I am the full domain admin, and check and was part of both groups mentioned above. Also, I have only one 2010 server with public folder, and so the command I am running on the 2013 looks like this: Set-OrganizationConfig
-PublicFoldersEnabled Remote -RemotePublicFolderMailboxes PFMailbox1. I even just created a second user and mailbox using the console instead of the shell, and still no luck.
Below is the error I get:
[PS] C:\Windows\system32>Set-OrganizationConfig -PublicFoldersEnabled Remote -RemotePublicFolderMailboxes PFMailbox2
Couldn't find object "PFMailbox2". Please make sure that it was spelled correctly or specify a different object.

Unable to access public folders on Exchange 2007 when user mailbox is on Exchange 2013

Hi
I have coexistence with Exchange 2007 and Exchange 2013. I've moved a mailbox to Exchange 2013 and now cannot view the public folders on Exchange 2007. The error message I get is "could not connect to the public folder server. microsoft exchange is
not available. either there are network problems or the exchange server is down for maintenance."
Mailboxes on Exchange 2007 do not have any problems viewing public folders. I can't migrate users to Exchange 2013 until this issue is resolved.
The IIS permissions to the Public virtual directory on Exchange 2007 is set to Intergrated Windows and Basic authentication.

Hi northerly,
I recommend you follow the steps below for troubleshooting:
1. Please run the Get-OutlookAnywhere cmdlet to verify the Outlook Anywhere settings on Exchange Server 2013 Client Access servers.
2. If "ExternalHostName" is set, and "ExternalClientAuthenticationMethod" is Negotiate, change "ExternalClientAuthenticationMethod" to something other than Negotiate.
3. If "InternaClientlAuthenticationMethod" is set to Negotiate, and "InternalRequireSSL" is True, change "InternalClientAuthenticationMethod" to something other than Negotiate, or change "InternalRequireSSL" to False.
What's more, here is a helpful KB for your reference.
Users of Exchange Server 2013 or Exchange Online can't open public folders or shared mailboxes on an Exchange 2010 or Exchange 2007 server

Manually Move Public Folders from Exchange 2010 to 2013

Hi all,
I have a issue to finishing my migration from Exchange 2010 to Exchange 2013, I have been trying to migrate my Public folders but always after a couple hours, the migration state is failed.
The final error is the following:
FailureCode                      : -2146233088
FailureType                      : SourceMailboxAlreadyBeingMovedPermanentException
FailureSide                      :
Message                          : Error: Couldn't switch the mailbox into Sync Source mode.
                                   This could be because of one of the following reasons:
                                     Another administrator is currently moving
the mailbox.
                                     The mailbox is locked.
                                     The Microsoft Exchange Mailbox Replication
service (MRS) doesn't have the correct
                                   permissions.
                                     Network errors are preventing MRS from cleanly
closing its session with the
                                   Mailbox server. If this is the case, MRS may continue
to encounter this error for
                                   up to 2 hours - this duration is controlled by the TCP
KeepAlive settings on the
                                   Mailbox server.
                                   Wait for the mailbox to be released before attempting
to move this mailbox again.
So, after seeing this I started to monitoring all process and I realized that after creating hierarchy the process start to fail and keep in StalledDueMailboxlock status, and the error is:
FailureCode                      :
FailureType                      :
FailureSide                      :
Message                          : Informational: The request has been temporarily postponed because the mailbox is
                                   locked. The Microsoft Exchange Mailbox Replication service
will attempt to continue
                                   processing the request after 2/14/2015 12:38:20 PM.
Finally, digging more into reports of migration I found this:
MapiExceptionNetworkError: MapiExceptionNetworkError: Unable to open entry ID. (hr=0x80040115, ec=6)_x000A_Diagnostic context:_x000A_ Lid: 40487 EMSMDBMT.EcDoRpcExt2 called [length=73]_x000A_ Lid: 44583 EMSMDBMT.EcDoRpcExt2

So, would like to know if exist any procedure to migrate/move my Public Folders from Exchange 2010 to 2013 manually, something like Export/Import.
Regards!

What script and process you are running to migrate the Public Folders?
And what do you mean by Manually?

Public folders from exchange 2007 to exchange 2013

HI I am new to exchange, i am planning to do the migration of Exchange 2007SP3 UR10 to Exchange 2013 CU7, I want to move public folders from exchange 2007 to exchange 2013. wht is the procedure to move and wht are the commands to know how many public folders
i have.I just want to be aware before the installation so that later i can avoid issues.please do guide me

Hi Quiett,
please find how to move public folders on ttp://www.msexchange.org/articles-tutorials/exchange-server-2013/migration-deployment/migrating-public-folders-exchange-2013-part1.html
You can replace your servers names and follow exactly the proedure that is shown there. I strongly suggest to read also the 2nd page (replication) before you start. Please be aware of
Set-OrganizationConfig –PublicFoldersLockedForMigration $True , so you cannot change the source side whle migrating.
Regards,
Martin

User Access to Public Folders Disappearing (Outlook 2013)

I have one particular user who is losing access to public folders in Outlook 2013. I have found that going to
File > Account Settings > Account Settings > Email [TAB] > Repair... and then following through that dialog temporarily restores public folder access after restarting Outlook. However, once Outlook is restarted
for 30-60 seconds, the public folders disappear again. This is only happening for this one user. They receive their public folder permissions via group membership. Other group members report no such issue. I had another user with identical permissions
log into the same workstation and they again had no issue.
What could be causing this? This is a particularly bothersome problem since this user happens to be the office scheduler and the calendar they schedule on is public (which, thanks to reduced functionality in Exchange 2013, is no longer accessible in OWA).
Tech specs: Exchange 2013 CU5 accessed from Outlook 2013 running on Windows 8.1 Update. Outlook did not log any events during the time when public folders were dropped, nor are there any network connectivity issues being logged.
Any ideas for resolving this?

Hi,
Please check the connection status for Outlook.
Press the CTRL key and right-click the Outlook icon in the notification area, then select Connection Status.
Please run the command get-mailbox administrator | fl defaul* to check the default public folder mailbox for this affected user.
Do you have mail-enabled public folders? If you have mail-enabled public folders, you can check if this user can view public folders in OWA.
If possible, please re-add the public folder permissions for this user to check result.

Downsize Public Folders for Migration to Office 365

To migrate public folders, I have been following this link: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj983799%28v=exchg.150%29.aspx
However, this customer's public folders are exceeding well over 50GB. There are contacts and a calendar. I am looking for assistance/advice on downsizing public folders for migrating to Office 365.
Exchange 2007
Server: Windows Server 2008 Standard

Hi,
To reduce the public folder's size prior to the migration, you can try to delete the old content or split it into multiple smaller public folders.
Here is a related article for your reference.
