Public Folder Migrations Exchange 2010 to 2013: Relinquishing job because the mailbox is locked.

Recently I was troubleshooting an issue where I could not get Public Folder migrations to perform the final sync before cutting over to Exchange 2013 hosted Public Folders.  I searched for a solution but all I could find was a few technicians that had a similar problem and restarting the Exchange Replication Service on the 2010 server would resolve the issue. 

After restarting this service the problem was still present.  Following some additional troubleshooting it was determined that Exchange 2010 still had a lock on the folders after the service restart and would not allow the final sync.  The end resolution was to restart the Exchange 2010 Information Store and then the Exchange Replication Service.  The Public Folder migration job then restarted and completed the sync.  Hope this helps anyone else that may get stuck on this issue as well.

  5. What if the most desired document or letter is lost or theft along with the letterbox? The result might be catastrophic sometime! So, it should be the foremost duty to ensure the safety of your documents outside the door. A secure and heavy duty locking mailbox can do this. We were in search of the best secure mailbox.
