When the Public Folder Instances folder for the store shows no items the public folder migration is complete.

    Paul I am still doing my 2003 to 2010 migration. Currently I unable to get my PF to move over to the 2010 servers. I already created a PF database on two of the 2010 servers. Oddly, at one point I saw all the folders listed in the PF tools window, this just after the first mailbox server got installed. When the PF toolbox now, all I get is a not connected to server. I right click, then choose connect, then I select one the 2010 servers that have PF databases on them, the two folders show up. When I click on either one of them, I get an error that “No existing ‘PublicFolder’ matches the following identity : “\”. Make sure that you specified the correct ‘PublicFolder’ Identity and that you have the necessary permissions to view “PublicFolder’. The account I am using to perform the procedure is in the enterprise, schema admin group, so I doubt it is a permission issue. Can you shed any light on this please?

      Hi Zay, best not to make assumptions with permissions, make sure your account does have the required permissions.

      Make sure the PF DB on the 2010 server you’re connecting to is mounted succesfully.

      Also check whether PF content replication is suspended for your organization.

    Thanks Paui I got it to work by disabling the mailbox associated with the admin account I was using. After I disabled the mailbox, restarted the information store service, they showed up.
