Thanks very much for the reply. So really it's a toss up between how long to do each one manually using outlook, I double checked and we actually have closer to 5000 puic folders. Or spending some serious time on a script!!! What a choose :(

Hire someone to do the script for you. <br />
5000 public folders of calendar type is not really worth wading through manually. <br />

Hi we are in the process of preparing our Exchange 2007 Environment for an Office 365 Migration. <br />
<br />
We need to convert all of our Public Folders and the Public Folder Calendars to Resource Mailboxes. <br />
<br />
Is there a way to automate this? Maybe using Powershell? I have read a number of articles and they have explained I need to export to PST then import to a newly created resource mailbox. We have over 1000 Public Folders I don't want to have to manually do each one.

Within Internet message handling services (MHS), a message transfer agent or mail transfer agent (MTA) or mail relay is software that transfers electronic mail messages from one computer to another using a client–server application architecture. A MTA implements both the client (sending) and server (receiving) portions of the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP). The terms mail server, mail exchanger, and MX host may also refer to a computer performing the MTA function. The Domain Name System (DNS) associates a mail server to a domain with mail exchanger (MX) resource records containing the domain name of a host providing MTA services.
