Says:
After the system folders and the public folders have replicated, you
can use the pfMigrate tool to remove replicas from the source server.
Unlike in Exchange Server 5.5, you do not have to set a home server
for a public folder in Exchange Server 2003. Any replica acts as the
primary replica of the data that it holds, and you can remove any
public folder server from the replica list.
