public folder migration 2010 to 2013 MapiExceptionNetworkError: Unable to make connection to the server

When I run the new-publicfoldermigrationrequest command, I get this error - MapiExceptionNetworkError: Unable to make connection to the server.

I am able to ping both netbios and fqdn, have moved all mailboxes and created csv files based on http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj150486%28v=exchg.150%29.aspx

The account I'm using is the same admin account I used to build both 2010 and 2013 (2010 was a transitional server for a 2003 migration).

Stumped. Any thoughts? Thanks!

Are you usingfull FQDN for the server name in the cmdlet ?

If not try it with the full FQDN (hostname.domain.local).

Hi,

Please make sure the account you use have required permissions.

Please use the Get-PublicFolderMoveRequestStatistics cmdlet to view detailed information about public folder move requests.

Based on my understanding, you get this error when you run the following command in Exchange 2013.

New-PublicFolderMigrationRequest -SourceDatabase (Get-PublicFolderDatabase -Server <Source server name>) -CSVData (Get-Content <Folder to mailbox map path> -Encoding Byte) -BadItemLimit $BadItemLimitCount

Please just run the Get-PublicFolderDatabase -Server <Source server name> cmdlet to check if you can get public folder database in Exchange 2010 from Exchange 2013 server.

Get-PublicFolderDatabase -Server <Source server name> resolves the 2010 PF database. I have tried this statement both with the query and with the name coded in and still get the same error.

New-PublicFolderMigrationRequest -SourceDatabase (Get-PublicFolderDatabase -Server <Source server name>) -CSVData (Get-Content <Folder to mailbox map path> -Encoding Byte)

Also, the account I'm using is an organization admin and is the account used to install both 2010 and 2013.

Are there any permissions specific to public folders that may be set elsewhere?

Thanks

Hi,

You can check the required permissions in the following article.

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj150486(v=exchg.150).aspx

From the description, you didn't run the New-PublicFolderMigrationRequest with the BadItemLimit parameter. I recommend you add the BadItemLimit parameter and run again to check result.

If the issue persist, please check the event log to see if there is any related error message for more analysis.

And please use the Get-PublicFolderMoveRequestStatistics cmdlet to view detailed information about public folder move requests.

The account I am using was the account used to install Exchange 2010 and 2013. I have also verified it is in the organization admin and server admin groups. I continue to get the error that I cannot make the connection to the server.
