Migrating Public Folders in Exchange 2010

Hello,

I am attempting to move all public folders from one Exchange 2010 server to another and they simply are not showing up on the new server.  I have used the command

.\MoveAllReplicas.ps1 -Server Server01 -NewServer Server02

and am getting no errors when I do so. I have check the replication scheduled and is set to Always Run on both servers. I have started the Replication Server on both servers to no avail.

When I query the database on the new server it shows the folder but they are not there in Outlook or OWA.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

Hope, the above given suggestion would be a good start-up to resolve the concern.

However, if the issue still persist, you may try to export all PUB. data into PST and import them into newly created server. To make this task more easier, you can use this available automated solution (http://www.exchangemailboxmigration.com/) to achieve this task in more easier way.

Hi Tomphillipsinc,

Is there any update on this thread?

I also recommend you refer to the following method to resolve the issue:

1.Add Server02 into PF replica folders as second server.

.\AddReplicaToPFRecursive.ps1 Server Server02 TopPublicFolder \ ServerToAdd Server01

2. After were certain that all the Public Folders have been replicated, we can now remove the server01 from the replica list.

.\RemoveReplicaToPFRecursive.ps1 Server Server02 TopPublicFolder \ ServerToRemove Server01

3. Move all replicas from Server01 to Server02:

.\MoveAllReplicas.ps1 -Server Server01 -NewServer Server02
