Hello,

I am having some major issues here. I just want to give a quick background of what is occurring. All user mailboxes have been migrated to new Exchange 2013 environment. I started the process to migrate public folders to new environment, I ended up getting to the final phase which was to import the public folders into the newly created PF Mailboxes. It failed at 10 percent. Issue looks to of been because of whitespaces and so on. I made some changes and cleared the migration and tried again and it failed again at 10 percent which is fine I can understand that. I need to do some more formatting on the old public folders.

After this occurred I deleted the PF Mailboxes I created. I also deleted the Database. I created a new Database and here is the issue when I try to create PF Mailboxes again I receive this error - "Active Directory operation failed on DC. This error is not retriable. Additional information:
Access is denied."

I do not believe it is any permission issue as I was just able to create PF mailboxes before. Plus I am part of the correct permission groups. I have read a lot of fixes out there on the net but they don't seem to relate to my issue exactly.

But again this issue occurred after I deleted the PF mailboxes and also deleted the Database and recreated the database and while trying to create new PF mailboxes I receive error message as I have indicated above.

I hope someone can assist.

Thanks

Following is the documentation for performing this migration.

Hi Ed,

Thank you for the reply.

The 2007 PF's are still working fine as the migration did not complete.

Ran this command on legacy server - - no display/reply brought me back to c drive.

Set-OrganizationConfig -PublicFoldersLockedForMigration:$False

Ran these commands on 2013 exchange - no reply brought me back to c drive.

Get-Mailbox -PublicFolder | Where{$_.IsRootPublicFolderMailbox -eq $false} | Remove-Mailbox -PublicFolder -Force -Confirm:$false
Get-Mailbox -PublicFolder | Remove-Mailbox -PublicFolder -Force -Confirm:$false
Ran this command on legacy server - no reply brought me back to c drive
Set-OrganizationConfig -PublicFolderMigrationComplete:$False
Tried creating PF mailbox received same error as indicated in original post.

Sorry Ed,

Issue ended up being with my account. I ended up giving another domain admin account exchange permissions exactly as mine and I was able to create PF mailboxes under that account.

I'm not too sure what is messed up with my account.

Thanks again.
