Exchange2013 Public Folders
Can I create a new public folder in Ex2013 before I migrate the old Public folders from 2007? Will the uses that have not been migrated to 2013 have access to both?
We are in the migration of users process but I have a couple managers that need access to their public folders.

I just finished a 2010 to 2013 migration. The users went over fine. The public folders never did "Pass thru" to the 2010 server during this time. Once I got to the actual Public folder migration I had to try it 4 or 5 times over the week to finally get it to go. This article works but only when it is ready. Yea I know it sucks. I finally got the migration going and getting to the final stage and it would never go past that. The I found a couple of posts that said if it gets to the mailbox locked error you have to just restart the server and let it go. It did finally work. But I never made it work with pass thru. I also found out that Public Folders that contain calendar or contact info can no longer be accessed by OWA users. Sorry a long post and almost answered your question. I believe you have to make the migration happen with no other public folders in place on the 2013 server. Then once it is done you can create a new one. If you try the migration with one in place I think a difficult process will be impossible.
