Script to syncronize mail public folder objects from source AD during public folder migration and hybrid access.

• Use this script if you need to do one of the following -
  • Initial creation of mail enabled public folder objects in the destination Active Directory for public folder migration from Exchange 2007 or 2010 to Exchange Online.
  • Synchronization of mail enabled public folder objects from on-premise to Exchange Online Active Directory
  This script mail-enabled public folder objects from the local Exchange deployment into O365. It uses the local Exchange deployment as master to determine what changes need to be applied to O365. The script will create, update or delete mail-enabled public folder objects on O365 Active Directory based on what exists in the local Exchange deployment.
  The script must be executed from local Exchange Management Shell window providing access to mail public folders in the local Exchange deployment. Then, using the credentials provided the script will create a session against Exchange Online, which will be used to manipulate O365 Active Directory objects remotely.
  NOTE - Before running the script, copy the Sync-MailPublicFolders.strings.psd1 file in the same directory as the Sync-MailPublicFolders.ps1 script file.

  This example shows how to use the script with a different URI to connect to Exchange Online and sync mail-public folders from your local deployment.
  
  
  Required parameters:
  • Credential - Exchange Online user name and password
  • CsvSummaryFile - The file path where sync operations and errors will be logged in a CSV format
  Optional parameters:
  • ConnectionUri - The Exchange Online remote PowerShell connection uri. If you are an Office 365 operated by 21Vianet customer in China, use "https://partner.outlook.cn/PowerShell".
  • Confirm - The Confirm switch causes the script to pause processing and requires you to acknowledge what the script will do before processing continues.
  • Force - Force the script execution and bypass validation warnings.
  • WhatIf - The WhatIf switch instructs the script to simulate the actions that it would take on the object. By using the WhatIf switch, you can view what changes would occur without having to apply any of those changes.
