Hi All
Has anyone managed to migrate Public folders from Exchange 2010 to Exchange 2013 in a cross frost Migration.
I have successfully managed to move all mailboxes and distribution groups across, but cannot get any where with Public folders.
PF are about 200 GB and I am not looking forward to PSTs. Public folder structure has access restrictions and about 150 of them are mail enabled, so a migration is much desirable.
The 2 way trust is there between the 2 forests.
I called MS and was told Cross forest Migration is not support as yet. The recommended path is :
Exchange 2010 > Exchange 2010 ( Cross forest ) then do Exchange 2010 to Exchange 2013 ( In forest)
I have googled enough and there is not much help.
[PS] C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V15\Scripts>New-PublicFolderMigrationRequest -SourceDatabase (Get-Public
FolderDatabase -Server exch2010) -CSVData (Get-Content C:\PFMigration\Ex2010_PFMaps.csv -Encoding Byte)
Exchange server "exch2010" was not found. Please make sure you typed the name correctly.

and then try running the command again.

I believe the issue is here : -SourceDatabase (Get-Public FolderDatabase -Server exch2010)
As there is no way to supply remote and local exchange credentials
Even if I do
Get-PublicFolderDatabase -Server exch2010
It fails as Exch2010 is in a different forest.
Any help will be appreciated.
