I have just installed exchange 2013 in a exchange 2010 environment. I have exported all info and don't care about 2010 public folder data.
I would like to just create a new PF in 2013.
Below is the error I'm getting.
[PS] C:\Windows\system32>New-Mailbox -PublicFolder -Name PF2013

Folder mailbox using -HoldForMigration switch.
