"Changed By" on public folder changed its content after migration from 2007 to 2013 ?

Hi,

we just migrated from Ex2007 to 2013 Public Folders.

before the migration if a use moved an email from PUBLIC Folder mail enabled to another Public Folder, we could see on the "Changed By" field the user that MOVED that mail.

and now 

we see the name of the SENDER of that mail the "Changed By" field after we do the same action - moving to another PF folder.

is there any way that we can see the name of the one that MOVED it ?

i didnt find anywhere that this changed was documented...

TIA

Hi,

Since we don't have an Exchange 2013 Public Folder testing environment, I have been searching across internal data for a long time and I haven't found any documentation stating this behavior is changed.

Can you reproduce this issue in your mailbox mail folders? I've tried this and this issue doesn't exist. Please try enabling the "Changed By" filed on one of your mailbox mail folders to see the result.

There is a property named "PR_LAST_MODIFIER_NAME" of the item in Public Folders. It can tell us who "last" changed the item in the public folder. We can use MFCMAPI tool to view this property.

In addition, since this issue is also related to Exchange, you can post a new question in Exchange Server forum to get more assistance. The support engineer there can help you verify if the issue could be reproduced in Exchange 2013 environment. For your convenience:

I opened a case with MS as I do see that once I move mail from Public Folder mail enabled to a public folder non-mail enabled, the PR_LAST_MODIFIER_NAME stay the SENDER of the mail and NOT the one that moved it

if I COPY its OK, only MOVE is not

thanks for your input
