How to Move Public Folder from Exchange 2003 to Exchange 2010

 Step 1: Replicating Exchange 2003 PF's to Exchange 2010


Add the Exchange 2010 server as PF replica partner for the Exchange 2003 server PF's:

  • From the Exchange 2010 server: .\AddReplicaToPFRecursive.ps1 -server "Exchange 2010 Server" -TopPublicFolder "\" -ServerToAdd "Exchange 2010 Server"

If you are planning to have multiple Exchange 2010 PF servers, you can repeat the Cmdlet above to all of them.
Replicate the Exchange 2003 Public Folder hierarchy and content to Exchange 2010 server using ESM (Exchange 2003 System Manager), and then (if you have multiple Exchange 2010 PF servers), replicate the Public Folder hierarchy and content from the Exchange 2010:

  • From the Exchange 2010 server: Update-PublicFolderHierarchy -Server "Exchange 2010 Server"

Step 2: Moving Exchange 2003 PF's to Exchange 2010

As a last step, after you confirmed that all the PF have been replicated to the Exchange 2010, you can move all replicas from Exchange 2003 to Exchange 2010. The "move all replicas" will actually remove the Exchange 2003 replicas.
To move all Exchange 2003 replicas to Exchange 2010, which will actually remove the Exchange 2003 replicas:

  • From the Exchange 2010 server: .\MoveAllReplicas.ps1 -Server "Exchange 2003 Server" -NewServer "Exchange 2010 Server"

Additional Cmdlets


  • To view a list of the replicas in the public folder hierarchy: Get-PublicFolder -recurse |fl name,replicas
  • For System Folders: Get-PublicFolder -recurse \non_ipm_subtree |fl name, replicas
  • To compare content replicated between the source and destination servers: Get-PublicFolderStatistics

Calculate how much data can be transferred in 24 hours based on link speed in data center

  In case you are planning for migration via DIA or IPVPN link and as example you have 200Mb stable speed so you could calculate using the below formula. (( 200Mb /8)x60x60x24) /1024/1024 = 2TB /per day In case you have different speed you could replace the 200Mb by any rate to calculate as example below. (( 5 00Mb /8)x60x60x24) /1024/1024 =  5.15TB  /per day So approximate each 100Mb would allow around 1TB per day.

Recreating a VMFS-3 or VMFS-5 partition table in ESXi 5.x

For this kind of issues you need to engage VMware support on this, following any part of this article could lead to more complex situation if not ran by an expert.   Symptoms Datastore does not mount because of a lost or overwritten partition table.   Purpose When a VMFS partition is created in ESX 3.x or ESX 4.x, it has a Master Boot Record (MBR) partition map. The MBR is written to the first 512 B block (LBA0) and contains the information where the (VMFS) partition starts and ends. ESXi 5.0 introduced VMFS-5, which uses a GUID partition table (GPT) for new datastores. When a VMFS-3 partition is created in ESXi 5.x and is later updated to VMFS-5, the original partition map (MBR) is maintained. If the partition information of a VMFS datastore is deleted or overwritten (for example, by a Windows system with direct access to the same disks), it is impossible to determine if the partition map was GPT or MBR. The only time you can be sure that a GPT partition map was used is if th...

How to deploy an OVA in Cloud Director

  How to deploy an OVA in Cloud Director Yesterday I was in a call with a customer and we discussed uploading OVA’s into Cloud Director. I said sure that is no problem at all. Well then I started thinking how are you supposed to deploy an OVA in Cloud Director because I do not even remember how this is done. So I opened up Cloud Director and tried it for myself. I decided to make this blog post along the way to show you how to deploy an OVA in Cloud Director. As an added bonus I will also show you how to upload an OVA to the catalog. This way I can deploy the OVA over and over again. Environment information Cloud director 10.3 OVA How to deploy an OVA in Cloud Director In Cloud director I opened up the Applications section and selected “NEW” I am deploying an OVA so I selected “Add vApp From OVF”. In the screenshot below you can see all the steps involved with (in my case) deploying and customising the Usagemeter. Options to customise are for instance: Network settings, vApp naming...
