# Public Folder scripts

## [SourceSideValidations.ps1](https://github.com/microsoft/CSS-Exchange/releases/latest/download/SourceSideValidations.ps1)

This script performs pre-migration public folder checks for Exchange 2013, 2016, and 2019. For Exchange 2010, please use previous script found [here](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=100414).

### Syntax

Typically, the script should be run with no parameters:

`.\SourceSideValidations.ps1`

### Output

The script will generate one more of the following files, and it will display
examples that show how to use them. Examine the script output for those details.

File Name|Content|Use
-|-|-
IpmSubtree.csv|A subset of properties of all Public Folders|Running with -StartFresh $false loads this file instead of retrieving fresh data
ItemCounts.csv|EntryID and item count of every folder|Running with -StartFresh $false loads this file instead of retrieving fresh data
NonIpmSubtree.csv|A subset of properties of all System Folders|Running with -StartFresh $false loads this file instead of retrieving fresh data
FoldersToMailDisable.txt|Folders that should be mail-disabled, because they are system folders or because their mail objects are missing|Use with the command displayed in the script output to disable them
