You add the E2K7 to the replica list of each Public folder using the Exchange System Manager, and then have patience

Hi,

How long it take that we have to wait for replica when doing same as what you said ? After adding Ex-2k7 Server name to replica list from EMS (Ex-2k3) then I have restarted both of Ex-2k3 and Ex2k7 but nothing happened

Could you please tell me more details

Thanks

Rebooting the servers will not help with the replication.

This should help you:

Hi,

Thank a lot for your information. Refer to that information, I have checked the route between servers. The problem is messages flow has been blocked from Ex-2k3 to Ex-2k7 by an AntiVirus Software installed on Ex-2k3 (unknown reason !

). After removing AVS, everything 's OK.

I would like to share my problem with all of you

Thanks

Should we also add E2K7 to the replica list of each System Folder?

Thanks.
Nitin.

When deploying E2K7 into a legacy Exchange environment, that should happen automatically.

Hi guys

I have done my public folder replicas to exchange 2007 from exchange 2003, what is the next step to decommission the exchange 2003 public folder servers. Do I first do the OAB generation process to the new exchange 2007 server and then what steps do I take to decommission the exchange 2003 public folder servers.

thanks
Jasonbvh

Run the following command on the Exchange 2007 server:
MoveAllReplicas.ps1 -Server source server -NewServer target server.
After that delete the public folder database on the old server.
Here�s a detailed description:

If you run the MovaAllReplicas-script it will move all the relevant system folders as well.

Hi Guys
I need an answer re: do I remove replicas first, as even if I had to delete the public folder stores, do I remove the replicas first so its a more cleaner process and then check that the public folder are still accessible and then delete the public folders data stores etc.

thanks
Jasonbvh
