Move public folders, 2010 to 2010, no replication, it seems

Exchange 2010, trying to movepublic folder database from old server to new server. I used AddReplicasToPFRecursive.ps1 to add "new2010" to each folder, and now if I open the Public Folder Management Console on "old2010," I see both
old2010 and new2010 listed as replicas. In the EMS, Get-PublicFolder -recurse | fl Name,Replicas also shows all folders with both.
But on new2010, the Public Folder Management Console doesn't show any "Default Public Folders," and the EMS command responds only with IPM_SUBTREE. Get-PublicFolderStatistics -Server old2010 -resultsize unlimited shows all folders; Get-PublicFolderStatistics
-Server new2010 -resultsize unlimited shows none. If I change the default public folder database of the mailbox databases on new2010, the Public Folders all disappear from my Outlook installation, and come back if/when I reverse that.
I checked replication schedule - it says replicate always. The actual files for the PF database on new2010 exist, and have recent timestamps and are about half the size of the database files on old2010.
Why wouldn't the data be replicating? What do I look for in logs?

Hi,
Is there any error logs on the new server?
In addition,What is your exchange 2010 version?
I find some articles might help you:
The hierarchy of a new public folder database does not replicate on an Exchange Server 2010 SP1 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:

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?

Move Public Folders Database to another Drive on same server - Exchange 2010

Hello all and thanks for your time and expertise.
We recently added a new drive to our Exchange 2010 server. I've moved all mailboxes including arbitration mailboxes to this new drive (and new mailbox database). I guess the last remaining step is to move the public folders databse to this new
drive. I know in the console I can move the database path and the log files path for the public folders database. Is this all I have to do to move my public folders successfully.
And then once everything is moved - can I safely remove the old mailbox database?
Your help and recommendations are greatly appreciated.

Mike,
I moved the public folders database and received the following message:
"Summary: 1 item(s). 1 succeeded, 0 failed.
Elapsed time: 00:00:16
Public Folders
Completed
Warning:
The task completed successfully, but the database "Public Folders" cannot be restored.
The exception message is "An Active Manager operation failed. Error: The database action failed. Error: Unable to mount database 'Public Folders'.
The database appears to have been mounted at least once since its creation,
but there is no database file at 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V14\Mailbox\Public Folders\Public Folders.edb'. Either recover the database file from a backup,
or mount the database with a new, empty database by using the Mount-Database cmdlet with the -Force parameter.. [Database: Public Folders, Server: *******.***]".
Exchange Management Shell command completed:
move-DatabasePath -Identity 'Public Folders' -EdbFilePath 'g:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V14\Mailbox\Public Folders\Public Folders.edb' -LogFolderPath 'g:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V14\Mailbox\Public Folders'
Elapsed Time: 00:00:16"
I blanked out the server name.
After I clicked off this message I remounted the public folders database and everything relative to the public folders seems to be working fine. Did this message occur because exchange was trying to mount the public folders database from its old location
and so I can safely move on with my life. Just wanted to double check with you.
And once everything has been moved from the old mailbox database such as user mailboxes, arbitration mailboxes - can I safely remove the old mailbox database. Thanks for your help.

Cannot move public folders due to migration mailbox already being migrated...

Environment. Exchange 2007 and Exchange 2013
All mailboxes including arbitration mailboxes have been moved to Exchange 2013. No mailboxes exist any longer on Exchange 2007.
I am trying to use the steps here:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj150486(v=exchg.150).aspx to move the public folders. I get stuck on step 5
New-PublicFolderMigrationRequest -SourceDatabase (Get-PublicFolderDatabase -Server <Source server name>) -CSVData (Get-Content <Folder to mailbox map path> -Encoding Byte) -BadItemLimit $BadItemLimitCount
This fails with:

Public Folders after 2007 to 2010 Migration

I am unable to move public Folders from 2007 to 2010. Will not replicate nor can I create or use any new Public Folders on the 2010 server. Every other part of the migration has been completed and the system is working well.
Is there anything that I might be missing in order to move Public Folders to 2010?

Hi,
Please check the msExchHomePublicMDB value in ADSI Edit:
1. In Adsiedit, expand Configuration-->CN=Services -> CN=Microsoft Exchange -> CN=domain -> CN=Administrative Groups -> CN=Exchange Administrative Group -> CN=Databases.
2. Right-click the listed database > Properties.
3. Make sure the msExchHomePublicMDB value is pointed to the Public Folder database in Exchange 2010 instead of Exchange 2007.
Additionally, please use the ReplaceReplicaOnPFRecursive.ps1 script to move all the replicas of a public folder subtree from one server to another server. For more information about Public Folder migration from Exchange 2007 to Exchange 2010, please refer

Exchange 2013 Public Folders - Adding another PF mailbox

Hi,
I'm sure this is obvious, but I've looked and can't find anything.
We're in the process of completing a cross forest migration from Exchange 2010 to Exchange 2013 on premise. We've migrated PF content (using a third party app) and we're currently at around 90% of the quota for the first PF mailbox (PFMAILBOX1). My question
is, how do we start using the second mailbox (PFMAILBOX2 in this case)? Does it just roll over when it breaches the PF quota?
PFMAILBOX1 has the primary hierarchy and PFMAILBOX2 has secondary - not sure if this makes any difference?
As usual, any help appreciated.
Regards
Steve

Hello,
You can use New-PublicFolderMoveRequest to move Public Folders to new mailbox (single folder, folder tree etc). For further informations look at:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj878081%28v=exchg.150%29.aspx.
Hope it helps,

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.

I'm in the process of decomisioning our old Exchange 2003 server (long overdue after what has been a relativly smooth and trouble free transition to 2010). As the first step in the decomisioning process, I'm looking to move the public folders from the 2003
box to the 2010 box. From my understanding there are a couple of ways to achieve this (please correct me if I'm wrong). The first is to add the Exchange 2010 server as a new replication partner, allow for replication of the PFs to occur, and then remove the
2003 partner from the replication partnership. The other option is to use MoveAllReplicas.ps1.
I opted for the first option, but the problem I have is that the initial replication process started to generate a very large number of transaction logs on the Exchange 2010 server, to the point I was slightly conccerned I was going to run out of space on
the volume (our server is backed up nightly at which point the transaction logs are normally flushed).Whilst I know I could potentially increase the size of the volume or turn on cicular logging for the duration of the migration (neither of which is appealing
as it will involve down time), I was wondering if there was a way to move a smaller set of Public folders one at a time with a powershell command, or is it an all or nothing operation? My other option may be to replicate a small subset of folders everyday,
but that just a little painful as there are a large number of child folders with in the structure. Any other suggestions welcome!
Many thanks,
Rob

Hi,
If your Public Folder Database is large, you can use tool like Exfolders or ESM to add replica folder by folder.

Exchange 2010 - visibility of items in Public Folders

Hello all,
I already posted this question to the German Exchange 2010 forum, but have not gotten an answer yet. So I hope to be more lucky in the English forum.
Environment: Exchange 2010 SP3 RU4, 2 replicas for Public Folders, Outlook 2007 cache Mode
Problem:
Some of our users have a phenomenon when working with mail enabled Public Folders:
User has the focus set to Public Folder A, an email is sent there (and correctly delivered) but remains invisible to the user. When he changes the focus to point to his inbox or to Public Folder B and directly changes back to folder A he can see the email.
Other users can see the email directly on delivery without leaving the folder first.
When an affected user adds Public Folder A to his Public Folder Favorites he can see that an email is delivered from the change in numbers of unread mails (number in brackets behind folder name).
I already checked the Exchange server to see if there is a replication related problem (though the default Public Folder DB is the same for all mailbox databases). Even after a successful replication an effected user does not see the email unless he leaves
the folder and re-opens it.
As the problem does not affect all users having permissions to this folder I picked one affected user and tried to remedy the issue as follows:
- deleted the existing Outlook profile and re-created it => without success
- deleted the user profile and re-created it => without success
We use Outlook Cache Mode (set by policy, so the user cannot deactivate it) but there is no Public Folder data downloaded.
When I create a new mail enabled Public Folder to test the scenario with an affected user everything works without problems, he can see an email on delivery.
As far as I know this problem occurs with only two folders (and for both folders only a few users are affected - different users for each folder) I do not know what else to do. Can someone please give me a hint where to look at? Thanks in advance.
Kind regards,
Klaus

The user is caching the public folder. When he changes the focus and goes back, it tells Outlook to update. In my experience, I've seen that Outlook only gets the update notices for the primary mailbox, so cached shared mailboxes are generally
rarely updated. We have stopped caching shared mailboxes for this reason and others. Think of the following scenario:
Ten different users perform actions on items in a shared mailbox
When they first get the message, they move it to a subfolder in the mailbox (so it won't be there for other users)
Since users are working in Cached mode, they will see an out-of-date image of the mailbox - they will move the item in their copy of the mailbox, but that won't be reflected in the other mailboxes until their copy updates to the server, then the server updates
the other copies. Talk about being lagged ...

Exchange 2010 - Decommissioning Exchange 2007 Coexistence and Removal of Public Folders

We are about to decommission exchange 2007, currently in coexistence with Exchange 2010.
We do not want to use ANY public folders in exchange 2010 going forward. Will do this after decom of 2007:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd876883(v=exchg.141).aspx
I see this in the outlook connection status in outlook:
I have changed all Exchange 2010 mailbox databases to use a temporary 2010 public folders db named "public1" so that it is not communicating with the 2007 mailbox virtual server. However, the exact same connection status appears after I changed
the 2010 mailbox DBs to use a 2010 public folder db instead of the old 2007.
Question is, is it safe to decom the 2007 environment now? Is it normal to still have a connection to 2007 in "connection status" in outlook when the users mailbox is on a 2010 mailbox db? Is this connection related to public folders or something
else that needs modified before decom?
Thanks,
Josh

So, that wasn't the answer. I switched the Public folder DB on each mailbox database to a exchange 2010 server, PF DB, but hadn't actually moved any data from 2007 to 2010.
I didnt realize this is needed when we don't use public folders except for free-busy, default, etc.
What is the correct way to move the default public folders to a 2010 public folder?
I'm using the below URL as a template to migrate this info to a 2010 PF db.
https://www.simple-talk.com/sysadmin/exchange/upgrade-from-exchange-2007-to-exchange-2010---part-ii/
"The user Public Folders then need to be replicated to the Exchange 2010 Public Folder database as well. It is possible to manually configure
all Public Folders with a new replication partner, but it’s better to use PowerShell scripts that Microsoft delivers with Exchange Server 2010. Open the Exchange Management Shell and navigate to the Scripts directory
by entering the CD $ExScripts command,
and execute the following script:
AddReplicaToPFRecursive.ps1 -Server 2007MBX -TopPublicFolder "\"
-ServerToAdd 2010MBX"
My question is, do I have to do this "3rd step" since I don't think i have any custom "user public folders". Is this the user's free busy that I have to migrate, or is this author referring to custom PF db info?
Do I have to have public folders for free-busy and default exchange services at all in 2010?

Exchange 2003 to 2010 migration move public folder

Hello.
I'm on the road to Exchange 2010 migration and stuck at on question
All tutorial says then you want to replicate system PF and Public Folders you need to add PF 2010 in ESM and set replication to Urgent,that's all
But then i view my system PF replication on Exchange 2010 i see checkbox Use public folder is checked and replication shedule on Exchange 2010 is set to Never run(greyed out)
Is this right? Or i need to uncheck it and then shedule is set to Always run automaticly?
Do i need to do it for all PF? (system and non-system)?

Hi stevemaystr,
Don’t worry about the replication of PF, we can use the MoveAllReplicas.ps1 and ReplaceReplicaOnPFRecursive.ps1 script to move all public folder and all replicas to another database, please refer to:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb331970(v=exchg.141).aspx
Additional, I find an similar thread about Migrate PF from Exchange 2003 to Exchange 2010, for your reference:

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.

How to migrate public folders from legacy (exchange 2003 ) to exchange 2010

How to migrate public folders from legacy (exchange 2003 ) to exchange 2010 . Please suggest ?
Aditya Mediratta

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

Move public folders, 2010 to 2010, no replication, it seems
