Public Folder Migration Exchange 2003 to 2010

KB ID 0000426  Problem I’ve already written at length about migrating from Exchange 2003 to 2010, I was doing a migration this week and migrating the public folders was proving to be a pain.

Mailbox Move ‘Stuck’ Queued

KB ID 0001094  Problem When doing a migration I usually create a test account and move that to the new server. Then I can mail flow both from old to new server and to/from external addresses from both old and new servers. So when the mailbox just sat ‘Queued’ for a while I was starting to get concerned. Even applying the Exchange ‘cup of coffee’ rule didn’t make a difference. Solution Nice simple one to...
