Exchange Migration Cross forest
Hello, I planning to do an exchange Migration from forest A to forest B and the email address will be changed. I don't want to set any trust between the two, i will simply create the active directory users from scratch with new passwords and will install and configure the exchange environment in the target forest and will create the mailboxes. i will use a third-party tool to migrate the mailboxes between the two forests and after cutover i will add the alias of the old email as additional proxy address to the mailboxes. i am assuming everything will work fine however i have seen lot of articles on the internet about we have to migrate the legacyexchangeDN from the source environment and to add it as X500 proxy address as well in the destination or we might face issues in the migrated recurrent meetings when someone wants to edit or when someone reply to a migrated email.... I can afford having some meeting corrupted after migration but i cant afford the headache of NDR when someone reply to the migrated emails it will be a disaster.... anyone had this experience before to share it with me especially regarding the reply to the migrated emails and i did not lot of documentation from Microsoft about such scenario? Thank You.
PublicFolder CN=Schema,CN=Microsoft Exchange System Objects,DC=contoso,DC=com
I'm in the preparation stage of migrating our Public Folders from an on-premises Exchange 2016 CU19 server to Exchange Online. Running the SourceSiceValidation.ps1 script outputs several orphaned MEPFs in our Active Directory, and I get a similar output from the ValidateMailEnabledPublicFolders.ps1. The recommendation is to delete the orphaned MEPFs, but I'm running into an oddity that I just don't feel comfortable deleting. There's a PublicFolder named "Schema" in our MESO OU, and it just feels wrong to delete anything named "Schema" in a database. Get-ADObject "CN=Schema,CN=Microsoft Exchange System Objects,DC=***,DC=***" | fl DistinguishedName : CN=Schema,CN=Microsoft Exchange System Objects,DC=***,DC=*** Name : Schema ObjectClass : publicFolder ObjectGUID : 9*******-8***-4***-8***-2*********** Any advice on how to determine if this object really is safe to remove? Thanks!
Both The Owner & I Have Requested Assistance Regarding A Domain Transfer But Have Had No Updates.
Both the owner & I have requested assistance in regards to a domain transfer. There is a phantom account holding our already verified domain.... We have lost a full month of service for over 150 users due to the errors on Microsoft's side. Please answer one of our cases so that we can finish up the migration. We were not anticipating such a difficult experience. One of the cases is registered to the associated email. Thanks.

The key for a successful migration (of any type) is to ensure that source data is in a healthy condition. Public folder migrations are no different, especially if you have been using public folders for years. Orphaned ACLs, mis-matched Mail Enabled Public Folder objects (MEPF’s), or corrupted dumpster folders can cause public folder migrations to slow down considerably, if not fail altogether.
