o365 public folder migration

Hi All,

 

I have began a migration from on-prem exchange 2010 to o365 using minimal hybrid method

 

I need to consider how i'm going to migrate public folders. I refer to two MS docs links below

 

  • The first article suggests this method should be used when using a cutover or staged method

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/exchange/collaboration-exo/public-folders/batch-migration-of-legacy...

 

  • The second article references a hybrid setup but fails to mention if this includes the minimal hybrid option

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/exchange/collaboration-exo/public-folders/set-up-legacy-hybrid-publ...

 

Can anyone clarify?

 

Kind regards

    Hybrid doesn't really relate to PF migration, the (second) article you are citing is for situations where you want to keep PFs on-premises but enable migrated users to access them. To do an actual migration, follow the steps in the first article, or use a third-party tool, or do it manually by exporting content to PSTs.
