The basic symptom is this: The PF migration appears to work perfectly but when trying to assign a user to test the new folders it still attempts to connect to the old folders even though the users's DefaultPublicFolderMailbox is set to the new server. Connection status in Outlook still shows a connection to the 2007 server.
I'm using the TechNet PF migration article: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj150486(v=exchg.150).aspx
This is a single server migration from 2007 SP3 UR10 to 2013 CU5 Standard. The migration of mailboxes is complete with no errors and I'm trying to move the 100mb in public folders over to the 2013 server. Using several guides but once I've had problems I've switched to using the "standard" TechNet article as follows. I am creating only one PF mailbox since there are 10 folders and 100mb in data roughly. My Mailboxmap.csv file shows only the following:
"TargetMailbox","FolderPath"
"PFRoot","\"
The entire PF migration steps work flawlessly with no errors that I can see at all. I've rolled back and ran this process a half dozen times now to see if I've missed something.
I'm stuck on Step 8: Item #2 testing the migration from the test user in Outlook.
I've assigned the DefaultPublicFolderMailbox properties as that Item #2 shows me to do and if I use Get-Mailbox (test user) | Select DefaultPublicFolderMailbox command I see the new PFRoot mailbox listed as the default. However, the test user can't access the public folders at all. If I look in EAC I still see no public folders listed at all. If I use this guide:
It shows after setting "Set-Mailbox PFRoot -PublicFolder -IsExcludedFromServingHierarchy $False" I should be able to see the public folders in EAC. However, I can see the PF mailbox (PFRoot) but no public folders at all in EAC.
Where do I go from here? Even though I have no errors I don't want to complete the migration because the test isn't working.
