Hello,
I have public folders set up on an Exchange 2013 server which have been working for a couple of years now. I need to move the public folders from this server to a new Exchange 2013 server. According to this article it should be a straight forward process:
technet.microsoft.com/en-GB/library/jj906434(v=exchg.150).aspx
However I have hit a snag. The identity of my public folders is invalid. When I run the appropriate command active directory cannot find the public folders.
[PS] C:\Windows\system32>New-MoveRequest -Identity \ -TargetDatabase "Mailbox Database"
Active Directory operation failed on TEST-DC01.domain.local. This error is not retriable. Active directory
response: The search filter is invalid.

I have changed the domain for security but I have not removed the identity, that is what my public folders are called. If I run "Get-Publicfolder | fl" this is the output:

How do I move the public folders without a name, or how do I give the public folders a name so that I can then move them?
Thank you,
Tony
