Announcing the availability of modern public folder migration to Exchange Online

It would be good if anyone could tell us whats the meaning of PAW attribute

How to migrate Exchange 2007\2010 legacy Public Folders to Exchange Online?

Use batch migration to migrate legacy public folders to Office 365 and Exchange Online:

"This topic describes how to migrate your public folders in a cutover or staged migration from Update Rollup 8 for Exchange Server 2010 Service Pack 3 (SP3) or Update Rollup 15 for Exchange 2007 SP3 to Office 365 or Exchange Online."

TechNet article mentions cutover or staged migration.

If a customer runs Exchange 2010 on-prem in a hybrid deployment, is it possible to use batch migration to migrate legacy public folders?

Hello Team,

I am getting this error everytime I try to run it:

"Public Folder mailboxes migration has not been enabled for Tenant".

I confirmed that PAW is enabled and there are no active migration batches.

Any inputs/thoughts?

Hi Guys,

That are great news!

Could you already give an outlook when modern public folder migration to Exchange Online will be available to Exchange Online Germany (Office 365 Germany)?

Thanks in Advance!

Hello Team,

In my case, my public folders and mailboxes are hosted in Exchange 2010. But two Exchange 2013 servers have been deployed, and configured as hybrid servers with HCW (dedicated public FQDN is used between Exchange On-Premise and Office 365).

Can I use this new procedure ? Or do I have to use PF Migration procedure from Exchange 2010 to Office 365 ?

Thanks

we used the following link previously to make some availability for public folders from Office 365 to Exchange onpremises. https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn986544(v=exchg.150).aspx

We use Exchange 2013 CU15 in hybrid. We used Sync-MailPublicFolders.ps1 script to migrate some public folder mail addresses to office 365.

In case, we will plan using whole public folders migration to Office Online, can we do some step to undo steps or new wizard will work good with that?

Somebody read this topic from MS side?

Aleh

Hi,

first of all thanks for this.

We have Exchange 2013 CU15 On-Premise (we also used hybrid configuration but now it's "disabled") and after reading the entire document, we decided to proceed with the migration.

Unfortunately the process return an error during the creation of the public folder migration endpoint and the public folder migration request:

PS C:\PFScripts> $PublicFolderEndpoint = New-MigrationEndpoint -PublicFolder -Name PublicFolderEndpoint -RemoteServer $S

ource_RemoteServer -Credentials $Source_Credential

You cannot perform two types of Public Folder migration at the same time.

+ CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (:) [New-MigrationEndpoint], MigrationPermanentException

+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : [Server=AMXPR07MB086,RequestId=7dde36ac-9e42-4602-82fd-ee8a1716abb5,TimeStamp=30/05/2017

igrationService.Endpoint.NewMigrationEndpoint

+ PSComputerName : outlook.office365.com

I don't undertsand the reason of this.

I already checked if there are batch/serial migration requests but none found.

I would appreciate any help on this cause I'm stucked.

Thanks,
