MicrosoftHello ANAND_SUNKA,
Am sorry for my late reply, please find below answers to your requested questions,
1. It’s my understanding that if we leave the folders in the Primary Hierarchy mailbox, then we are at risk that some day when those folders get too big, autosplit will take the primary hierarchy mailbox off line temporarily resulting in a full public folder outage. If all folders are in secondary hierarchy mailboxes, then when one fills up and autosplits, only those folder in that mailbox go off line.
->So the interruption occurred here is at the last stage of the public folder move request and it's only temporarily "few seconds up to few minutes", what we always do recommend on our side is to leave the primary PF MBX away from disruptions by excluding it from serving hierarchy & avoid adding content on it so as to leave that PF MBX only available for it's main role/function which is writing PF hierarchy information.
2. I am told that New_PublicFolderMoveRequest is available to the Microsoft support teams, but not available to EOL powershell for tenant admins, so if we need folders moving we just need to raise a support request with Microsoft. Our request is to move all the folders whose data is currently in the MasterHierarchy mailbox to a new secondary hierarchy mailbox.
-> Unfortunately, you are correct, you can contact Microsoft support if the folders are too many or you can do it yourself by:
a.Use Outlook or content search to export the required PF on primary PF MBX "e.g. \PF1"
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/purview/ediscovery-content-search#create-and-run-a-search
b.Create new PF "e.g.\PF1new" on the required content secondary PF MBX and import required data using Outlook client
c.Repeat the above steps for each required PF
3. Is it possible if I would need to move the Public Folders Data manually from one PF mailbox to another PF mailbox as it's not mentioned anywhere in the article.
->Answer is in the 2nd Question
Hope that answers your queries a bit and feel free to reply back if you have any concerns.
Regards,
Hazem
