Migrate Exchange 2010 public folders cross forests

Hi,
Due to some Exchange and Active Directory issues (with remnants of old Ex 2003 server), we are going to migrate Exchange 2010 Mailboxes and public folders to a new Exchange 2010 Sp3 server, which is created in a new AD forest.
One thing we still have to decide, which is how to migrate public folders.
Apparently there are 2 ways:
1. To export PF data to PST and then import using Outlook in destination Exchange server
2. To use interorg replication tool to replicate PFs cross forest in target Exchange Server.
I would really appreciate if someone suggests which one is best. We have around 100GB of PF data.
Also, should we migrate Public Folders first? We think that we should move Mailboxes first.
Thanks in anticipation.
Regards, David Johnson

Hi,
Yes, when we decide to migrate from one Exchange server to another server, we need to move mailbox first.
About migrating public folders, both of these two solutions are available, I think that the first one is simpler.
Here is a similar thread for your reference.

Hope this helps.

Migrate Exchange 2003 Public folders and OAB to Office365?

Hi guys,
I am trying to migrate exchange 2003 public folders to office 365. I have read various documentation however they were either out of date or half-solutions.
The company stored OAB's in each public folder as well, how do I go about migrating these lists into office 365? Will it just "work" if I migrate the public folders across?
Thanks,
Alex

Hi,
If you are migrating from inhouse 2003 to office 365, then the best options for you are-
1. Either you can go for the manaul process. You can create PST files and can upload them to mailboxes through office 365 account.
Kindly refer the below mentioned link for the same
http://blogs.technet.com/b/canitpro/archive/2013/05/31/step-by-step-migration-of-exchange-2003-server-to-office-365.aspx
2. Or you can go for any 3rd party tool using the same you can migrate your public folders to office 365. This is required when you need to avoid the risks associated and need to keep your environment up and running even while migration process. Respond
back for third party tool suggestions.

Exchange 2010 to 2013 cross forest migration doesn't have an SMTP address that matches the target delivery domain

I’m having a problem moving a mailbox from exchange 2010 sp3 to Exchange 2013 which are in two separate forests.
Two way trust in place
Certificates imported
ADMT is set up.
SMTP namespace oldcompany.org and newcompany.org for the old email domain and new one is configured to be shared between forests.
I’m doing the following:
Step 1
Prepare-MoveRequest.ps1 -Identity [email protected] -RemoteForestDomainController DC1. oldcompany.Local -RemoteForestCredential $RemoteCredentials -LocalForestDomainController DC1. newcompany.local -LocalForestCredential $LocalCredentials -TargetMailUserOU
"OU=Office Users , DC=newcompany,DC=local" –verbose
Everything goes ok, and a disabled user is created. A disabled user account is created in the correct OU.
Email address is set to [email protected]
Proxy smtp addresses are set:
smtp:[email protected]
SMTP:[email protected]
smtp:[email protected]
Step 2
I then use ADMT and migrate sid history ect.
Step 3
New-MoveRequest –Identity [email protected] –Remote –Remotehostname exchange.oldcompany.local -RemoteCredential $RemoteCredentials –TargetDeliverydomain exchange.newcompany.local
This then fails with the error:
The target mail user newcompany.local/Office Users /mark test' doesn't have an SMTP address that matches
the target delivery domain 'exchange.newcompany.local'.
    + CategoryInfo          : InvalidArgument: ([email protected]:MailboxOrMailUserIdParameter) [New-MoveReques
   t], RecipientTaskException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : [Server=EXCHANGE,RequestId=ec704dc8-bfb9-47c1-a1ec-cc6d8ef00484,TimeStamp=23/12/2014 1
   0:51:33] [FailureCategory=Cmdlet-RecipientTaskException] 5ABE3B29,Microsoft.Exchange.Management.RecipientTasks.New
MoveRequest
    + PSComputerName        : exchange.newcompany.local
Any ideas what I am missing.

Hi Walkersway,
As you have mentioned both the domains are "shared between forests", I would assume its added to the accepted domains as Internal Relay. Also you have 'Send Connector' Setup to relay out the email to the new forest.
"You configure the SMTP domain as an internal relay domain to make sure that email that's addressed to that domain is accepted by the Exchange organization. The connector configuration of your organization determines how messages are routed."
In your case "newcompany.local" should be present.
Try this:
New-MoveRequest –Identity [email protected] –Remote –Remotehostname exchange.oldcompany.local -RemoteCredential $RemoteCredentials –TargetDeliverydomain newcompany.local
The TargetDeliveryDomain parameter specifies the FQDN of the external email address
created in the source forest for the mail-enabled user when the move request is complete. This parameter is allowed only when performing remote moves with the
Remote or RemoteLegacy parameter.

Exchange 2003 to Exchange 2010 Public Folders

Hi Gurus, I’m in the process of moving public folders from Exch03 to Exch2010 and I have some clarifications before I proceed with this task. As I have understood the replication process between public folders working in a multi-master environment, I still
need some deep understanding. Okay, the task is to ensure that we don’t lose any PF when I remove the last Exch03 where there’s a lot of PF residing. From my understanding, these PFs found at Exch03 are only replicas from Exch2010. From testing I can verify
that the Outlook clients are looking at Exch2010. The way I tested this is by creating a test PF from Outlook and it did reflected on Exch2010 PF. Looking Exch03 for a couple of days, the test PF never reflected there so I'm just just assuming that there's
no replication happening between Exch2010 and Exch2010.
Please verify on this. Does it mean that Exch2010 is not replicating to Exch03?
If yes, if I remove the PFs from Exch2003 without moving the replicas first to Exch2010, like plainly removing them for decommission, will that delete/remove the PFs on Exch2010?
I have a feeling that it don’t because the PFs I’m creating/deleting at Exch03 are all replicas and I don't see any of the PFs that I deleted at Exch03 to also get deleted at Exch2010. More likely the PFs I'm creating at Exch2010 are not replication across
to Exch03 and therefore removing these PFs at Exch03 should not affect the PFs at Exch2010.
Please confirm on this before I proceed.
Note that I've already taken copy of these Exchange servers because these are all VMs.
Thanks....

Hi,
When you add Exchange 2010 to the replica list on Exchange 2003 server, it will replicate the Exchange 2003 Public Folder hierarchy and content to Exchange 2010, not from Exchange 2010 to Exchange 2003.
You can remove public folders on Exchange 2003 without affecting the public folders which have been replicated to Exchange 2010.
Before you decide to remove Exchange 2003 server, I recommend you put the Exchange 2003 server offline temporarily to check if Exchange 2010 works well.

Any thought on how to fix permissions, people who already had permission in the past can see and access them OK and all objects, but we cannot change/update or remove permissons
We alos receive similar error from the powershell.

Hi,
Could
you please add a new public folder hierarchies with ADSIEdit as following setups.
For how to use ADSIEdit ,you can access:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc773354(WS.10).aspx
1.Run ADSIEdit, right click Exchange Administrative Group under “Configuration \ services \ Microsoft
Exchange \ Organization name \ Administrative groups”.
2.Select New Object.
3.Select msExchPublicFolderTreeContainer for the class and click Next.
4.Enter the following for the value:
Folder Hierarchies, click Next.
5.Click Finish.
6.Create
Public Folder Tree Object.
7.Right click CN=Folder Hierarchies -> New Object.
8.Selected msExchPFTree for the class.
9.For the value we entered, "Public Folders" and clicked next.
10.Clicked on the "More Attributes" button, selected msExchPFTreeType .
11.Set the value
to 1.
Note: This is very important that this value is set
to a value of 1 as This tells Exchange that this is a MAPI Tree.
12.Click Ok and then finish.
13.We then went
to the properties of the newly created "Public Folders" Tree object in
ADSIEdit.
14.Copy the distinguished name value
to the clipboard and then click cancel.
15.Navigate
to the Storage group that contains the Public
Folder Store for this server and get properties of the server.
16.Locate the msExchOwningPFTree attribute and paste in the value that was copied
from the Public folders Distinguish name attribute.
17.Restart the Information Store Service.
18.Mounted and dismount the PF store.
19.Open Outlook with administrator,give full permission to default owner.
Hope it can help you!

Problem with Exchange 2010 Public Folders after installing Exchange 2013 in my environment.

I currently have an Exchange 2010 server with all the roles installed. Before installing Exchange 2013, I was able to launch the Public Folder Management Console but now I get an error. When I installed Exchange 2013, I got an error saying I
had a instance of Exchange 2000 or Exchange 2003, but I didn't have any of these servers left. There was still something in AD referencing my old server. I went into ADSIedit and deleted an old administrative group. This deletion caused my access
to my public folders to get messed up. I followed this article, http://blog.bruteforcetech.com/archives/766, and I was able to gain access back in my outlook client but I still can't see the public folders in OWA. I also get this error when
trying to access either Default or System Public Folders. "Cannot complete the operation because there isn't an available public folder database on server 'ExchangeServer'. It was running the command 'get-publicfolder - getchildren -identity '\'
-server 'ExchangeServer' "
My Public Folder Database exists and is mounted. Any help is appreciated.

Hi Belinda,
Thank you for responding. Yes you do understand my problem correctly. One correction is that after deleting this entry in ADSIEdit, we couldn't access public folders at all either in Outlook or OWA. I followed these steps in the below article:
http://blog.bruteforcetech.com/archives/766
After following these steps and recreating the entry on FolderHieachies in ADSI edit, I was able to gain access to the public folders again through Outlook, but still can't see them in OWA and can't access them in Public Folder Management Console.
Here are the results to your requests:
et-PublicFolder -Recurse | Format-List Name

Also the msExchOwningPFTree attribute should be correct because this was edited with the correct value when I followed the instructions in the above article:

Cross forest migration Exchange 2010 SP2 to Exchange 2010 SP2

Hi,
We are planning cross forest migration Exchange 2010 SP2 to Exchange 2010 SP2.
Requesting you to please help us out for below scenario.
Source Exchange 2010 SP2:- abc.com
2AD, 2CAS & 2 MBX servers
Database:- 4
Total Users :- 3500
Accepted Domains :- 8
Total Data:- 5TB +
Target Exchange 2010 SP2:- xyz.com
Resource allocated same as above.
Now we have to migrate users along with data to target forest xyz.com keeping both setup live, as moving 5TB + data will be a ongoing process and the same will take some time.
With the guidelines mentioned in
http://careexchange.in/cross-forest-migration-guide-exchange-2010-to-exchange-2010/#comment-14203 we are able to migrate test users along with data, but after migration the migrated user is not able to connect through MS Outlook even not able to login into
OWA. It gives error “The Outlook Web App address
https://mail.abc.com/owa is out of date.”
Kindly let us know how to solve this issue.
Kindly let me know if you want any more information from our end.
Thanks in advance.
Thanks and Regards, Shashank Kudi

Hi Shashank,
Do you have certificates properly installed and configured in the target Exchange?
If not, Please configure certificate and import the certificate to the trusted root CA if you are using internal CA cert.

Exchange 2013 Mailbox Using 2010 Public Folders

Firstly, we will not be migrating completely to Exchange 2013 public folders for quite a while. Our first Ex2013 server is in a small branch office and won't be appropriate to hose the PF's for the entire company. Our environment consists of
8 Ex2010 servers and now the one Ex2013. I setup a test mailbox on the 2013 server and it access a 2010 PF database on another server just fine. How is that server discovered, and can we specify which one it uses? I understand the way 2013
public folders are moving but is there a downside to leaving our configuration this way for a long period of time?

Yes, the procedure should be followed to move mailbox first. Once you have successfully moved all the mailbox to new exchange server, you can migrate public folder after that.
You can also checekout this thread related to public folder migration from exchange 2010 to 2013 :

Further, for a better convenience, you can also take a look at this application (http://www.exchangemailboxmigration.com/) which would be a good approach while migrating mailboxes and public folders
between two exchange server. It ensures about the data security and email contents during the completion of entire migration process.

Migrating from Exchange 2007 to Exchange 2013 Public Folders coexistence

Hi all, I'm migrating from Exchange 2007 SP3 to Exchange 2013 SP1.
I have an Exchange 2007 server (Client Access, Hub Transport and Mailbox Server) in Site A, mailboxes and Publics Folders
In another Site in Site B, I have already installed (Client Access and Mailbox Server) Exchange 2013 server.
I am migrating test users, the fact is that users who migrated to Exchange Server 2013 Public folders do not see.
How I can make the migrated users from viewing the Exchange 2007 Public Folders duration coexistence?
Is there a "how to" to migrate Public Folders from Exchange 2007 to Exchange 2013?
thank you very much
Microsoft Certified IT Professional Server Administrator

Hi,
In Exchange 2013, the Public Folder is changed to Public Folder mailbox instead of Public Folder in Exchange 2007 database.
Due to the changes in how public folders are stored, legacy Exchange mailboxes are unable to access the public folder hierarchy on Exchange 2013 servers. However, user mailboxes on Exchange 2013 servers or Exchange Online can connect to legacy
public folders. Exchange 2013 public folders and legacy public folders can’t exist in your Exchange organization simultaneously. This effectively means that
there’s no coexistence between versions.
For this reason, it’s recommended that prior to migrating your public folders, you should
first migrate your all legacy mailboxes to Exchange 2013. For more information about migrating public folder from previous versions, please refer to:

Exchange 2010 - Public Folder Managment

I seem to have hit a bit of a stale mate with our exchange 2010 public folder management and while i think i see things set up wrongly - i'm not sure how to fix or what the consequences are if i did (and since i haven't yet built a sandbox test environment) i thought i would ask the spiceworks community for some helps and tips.So a little back ground first :two physical locations - one UK one USStretch DAGS with US-MBX replicating to UK-CAS and UK-MBX replicating to US-CASALL servers on the same domainProblem i am trying to resolve :One of our users based here in the UK travels to and manages some US staff now.

Are you using OWA or Outlook to view the public folders?
If you're using OWA, the reason you can't see the folders is that OWA in Exchange 2003 uses WebDAV, which is no longer present in Exchange 2010.
If you're using Outlook, you'll need to use the troubleshooting logs to determine the cause of the problems.
It could be related to Outlook trying to connect directly to 2010 mailbox server instead of CAS. Because normally the mailbox server is installed without the CAS role, it does not allow a direct Outlook connection. Or it could be something else,
like authentication.

as I have given the user "owner" right and see not able 2010 public folder inless i move 2003 user mailbox to 2010 exchange.
Appreciate if anyone could help me if to point me to directions or any hotfix I can run?

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.
