Exchange 2007 to 2013: Public Folders Migration issue
I got this unique issue with no exact issue or solution available over the internet so I am sharing this.
Environment:
Exchange 2013 CU8 lab environment for POC configured as per Microsoft Preferred architecture mentioned here.
http://blogs.technet.com/b/exchange/archive/2014/04/21/the-preferred-architecture.aspx
4 Exchange 2013 CAS+MBX – 2 servers per AD site
1 FSW in 3rd AD site.
Domain Controller in every AD site.
And
Single Exchange 2007 SP3 Ru 16 with one mailbox and one PF database.
Issue:
When I ran the below command
“New-PublicFolderMigrationRequest -SourceDatabase (Get-PublicFolderDatabase -Server <Source server name>) -CSVData (Get-Content <Folder to mailbox map pathfilename.csv> -Encoding Byte)”
I got the error.
Resource ‘Processor’ is unhealthy and shouldn’t be accessed.
Resolution:
Initially I fixed the issue by reducing the number of mailboxes to 1 but this just locked down my migration for rest of the mailboxes.
Then I did a roll back
I just realize that 2 PF mailboxes were located in the database in the different AD site.
Move the database to the primary AD site where I had legacy Exchange 2007 database.
Rerun the PF migration and it worked perfect.
Recommendation:
Keep all PF mailboxes in the same AD site until you migrate Public folders from legacy. Post migration you can move these mailboxes to different AD site.
Conclusion:
Keep all migration restricted to one AD site at a time.
