When trying to move the public folders, I'm getting an error about DataValidationException. Property expression <PF Name with spaces> isn't valid......


Even though it was NOT a mail-enabled folder, the mailNickname under ASDI Edit had to have spaces removed. I assume this is similar if not the same as the Mail alias. However, the EMC commands that have been given to remove invalid characters in mail-enabled folders do not work since this isn't mail-enabled.

The solution was to use ASDI Edit on the 2010 server, and go to:
Default NAming Context > DC=<domain>, CN="Microsoft Exchange System Objects"
For each Public Folder with a space, right click on it and go to the "mailNickname" attribute and remove the spaces. Click OK, then run the command on the Exchange 2013 EMC:

Get-PublicFolderMigrationRequest | Resume-PublicFolderMigrationRequest
