    Hi,

    Create a new public folder database on the second server and then use the moveallreplicas cmdlet to move the folders.

    And perhaps, change the default PF database on all mailbox databases. Also if the offline address book is distributed via PF, this must be changed too (but it cant be done by command, you wil have to disable PF distribution, delete old FP store and than reenable it again).

    Hi,

    "but shell is showing unauthorized command"

    That means that you don't have the proper permissions to perform the procedure.

    Which Exchange groups is the account you are using member of?

    Hi,

    Try the following from the scripts folder:

    .\MoveAllReplicas.ps1 -Server Server01 -NewServer Server02

    (remark the .\ in front of the move)

    Hi,

    Look at the management shell approach in this article

    Set a script directory

    Cd program files>microsoft>exchange server>v14>scripts

    then execute the command .\MoveAllReplicas.ps1 -Server Server1 -NewServer server2

    after executing that command your public folder will move, for verification you have to run another command 

    Get-PublicFolderStatistics -Server <server with public folder database to be removed>

    if that will show nothing means your public folder has been moved to another server, and for check run this command too

     

    Get-PublicFolder –Identity '\' –Recurse | Where {$_.Name –eq 'Exchange 2010'} | Format-List

    Although its an old discussion, but I think I can add value to by sharing the steps/Cautions that we had followed for doing the move.

    Great! Its true that PF replicas will take time to populate in the new server, so the best practice that I follow is to export the content into .PST, add replica and then import the .PST  back.
