Exchange 2013 to Exchange 2013 Cross-Organization Migration
Cross Exchange Orgs Public Folder migration:
I have 2 Exchange Orgs and 2 Active Directory Forests, and now I'm able to move mailboxes from source Exchange Org to Target Exchange Org.
What about Public Folders? Currently both sides have their own PF hierarchy. How to move public folders from source to target.
Both sides Exchange 2013 (b. 1293.2).

You can do cross forest Exchange Migration from Exchange 2013 to Exchange 2013 by using Kernel Migrator for Exchange software. It can migrate mailboxes, folders with rules and permission, Outlook profiles, Public folders etc so effectively with easy-to-use software interface. It has pre-migration analysis features which make it easy to estimate the time consume in migration process.

Thanks for your comment Sandeep, I'll take a look however at the moment, I'm looking for a built-in solution.
Thanks for you comment, Mahesh. However, that article which you've mentioned doesn't work for a 2013 to 2013 migration, once Exchange 2010 has Public Folder databases and 2013 doesn't. And it refers to a full PF migration, considering 2013 has not yet PFs created, which isn't the case neither.
You can move mailboxes from Exchange Server 2013 to Exchange server 2013. You can use the Prepare-MoveRequest.ps1 script in the EMS to prepare mailboxes for cross forest moves.
alternatively, you also may try this cross forest migration solution which allows to migrate between exchange servers with real-time coexistence.
Hi Annie, the firt article mentioned at your comment (https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee861103(v=exchg.160).aspx), is very helpful, and I`m using it to migrate non-PF mailboxes, however it doesn't mention any about PF mailboxes. Then my option would be, at source Exchange Org, to create a new PF Mailboxes and to create a test PF folder and try to move it to the target Exchange Org.
