Suspend-PublicFolderMigrationRequest
Suspend serial public folder migration requests (requests created by the New-PublicFolderMigrationRequest cmdlet). You can suspend active requests before they reach the status CompletionInProgress. You resume suspended requests by using the Resume-PublicFolderMigrationRequest cmdlet. **Note**: Support for serial migration of public folders ended in Exchange 2013 Cumulative Update 8 (CU8), and the cmdlets are no longer available in Exchange Online. Instead, use the corresponding **\*-MigrationBatch** and **\*-PublicFolderMailboxMigration\*** cmdlets.
