Exchange 2013 Move a Public Folder to Another Top-Level Folder

We recently went through some rebranding in our organization, where one of our business units (BU) swallowed another unit. For aesthetic reasons, they wanted their Public Folder(s) moved under the parent BU's top-level Public Folder.

Luckily, with PowerShell it's really fast and easy to move the Public Folders themselves, including sub-folders and keeping the permissions in place.

Fire up the Exchange Management Shell (EMS) and run the following cmdlet:

Get-PublicFolder "\Top-LevelFolderName\FolderName" | Set-PublicFolder -Path "\Other-Top-LevelFolderName"

**Note** Change "\Top-LevelFolderName\FolderName" to reflect you the folder you need to move and "\Other-Top-LevelFolderName" to the parent folder your moving to.

After the command finishes, you can run:

Get-PublicFolder "\Other-Top-LevelFolderName\FolderName"

**Note** Change "\Other-Top-LevelFolderName\FolderName" to the parent folder\sub-folder that you moved to

And it will output the Parent Path, showing you the new location.
