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

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
