Migration of public folders Exchange 2013 to shared mailbox Office365

Hi,

I want to migrate our public folders to a shared mailbox in Office365. I cant find a suitable article for the migration. 
Can i migrate the PF from the Exchange server to a shared mailbox using the Powershell commands? 

Thanks in @dvanced

There is no Microsoft article about the specific migration scenario. Please consider migrating via .PST files.

Connecting Exchange Online mailboxes in Outlook desktop relies on Autodiscover. Therefore, pointing DNS to Office 365 is required if youd like to use the vanity domain with Office 365.

When signing up the Office 365 tenant, you will have an onmicrosoft.com domain. Since youd like to migrate items into a shared mailbox, please create an onmicrosoft.com test user and the shared mailbox in Office 365 without adding the vanity domain. When the organization is ready to move the vanity domain to Office 365, change the corresponding email address and DNS records later.

Though, shared mailboxes are difficult to migrate as sometimes they fail the authentication step since they use permissions rather than passwords, you may consider on any good application like, http://www.lepide.com/exchangemigrator/ that might be a good alternative approach in your mentioned situation.

Hi Andres,

Thanks for the info. I already setup a hybrid solution, and migrated the mailboxes to Office365. Is there an article where it explains the export of PF using Powershell as i dont want to use thirdparty tooling. Also i need the article to import the file to the shared MB using Powershell.

Hi Villiger,

Base on my knowledge, there is no cmdlet that let us export data from public folders to a PST-file.

You would need to use Outlook to export the public folders if you don't want to use 3rd party tools.
