Clean up public folder aliases for migration - 22.Apr.2015 3:55:00 PM

I'm trying to migrate my Exchange 2007 public folders to 2013 but keep running into issues with PF aliases with invalid characters. I found this modified script to work with public folders: http://www.johanveldhuis.nl/tools/scripts/fix-aliasv20.ps1

While it does a good job at cleaning up a lot of public folder aliases, I seem to be running into issues with aliases that contain words in parenthesis. Any help would be much appreciated as my company has 74,000 public folders so this isn't something I can clean up manually.

Found Object to Fix: XXX (229/829) (Recovered)
New Alias of Object: XXX_(229/829)_(Recovered)

The term �Recovered� is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, scrip
t file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was i
ncluded, verify that the path is correct and try again.

Found Object to Fix: XYZ (119)

ment '119'.

I found this script on this site (http://www.vspbreda.nl/nl/2013/12/exchange-2010-to-exchange-2013-public-folder-migration/)

Check for � (� and �)�

$pfs= Get-publicfolder �\� -ResultSize Unlimited -recurse | where {$_.MailEnabled -eq �True�} | Get-MailPublicFolder | where {$_.alias -like �*(*� -or $_.alias -like �*)*�}

write-host $pfs

foreach($pf in $pfs) {set-mailpublicfolder $pf.Identity -Alias:($pf.alias -replace �$|$�,�)}

But that didn't seem to work either.

[PS] K:\>$pfs= Get-publicfolder "\" -ResultSize Unlimited -recurse | where {$_.M
ailEnabled -eq "True"} | Get-MailPublicFolder | where {$_.alias -like `*(*' -or
$_.alias -like `*)*'}
You must provide a value expression on the right-hand side of the '-like' opera
tor.
