Re: public folders are not all in sync

It is the first Exchange2003 server on the network. Should be the same, no?
Just shutdown the info store?
Also, in the mailbox container there are SMTP, System Mailbox, and System
Attendant. These I believe I do not move. However, there is also a Calendar
Connector, Spectra Postmaster (Spectra is the company name) and Network
Administrator mailbox. I also believe that the Spectra Postmaster and
Network Administrator mailboxes are supposed to be moved. The option to move
the mailbox is not available on the calendar connector. What do I do with
that?
And what if I now see NO status on the replication status details window?

Just dismount it. If you're running Exchange 5.5, shut down the information
store. (Of course, make sure there are no mailboxes on it first!)

Thanks Ed. Don't be sorry, i appreciate your honesty. So, I saw another
post
saying something along the same lines about replicating public folders.
They
recommended removing and re-adding the replicas which I did. I also set
the
replication interval to always run. I don't have very many folders so I am
not worried about traffic.
Now when I check details, there are no servers in the list at all on the
ones that i did.
How do i take the public folder store off line?

I'm sorry to have to tell you that the "In sync" flag is not a reliable
indicator. The best way to determine whether content has replicated is
to
connect to take the old server's public store offline and see if users
can
see all their content. That will also help you determine whether Outlook
clients are pointed to the correct public store (the new one) now. Don't
trash the old machine until you're sure that everything has replicated.

Hello,

I have installed a new Exchange Server 2003 to replace two that were
low
on
disk space. I have moved all mailboxes and setup replicas of public
folders
and system folders. I have uninstalled the second server but am now in
the
process of removing the first 2003 Exchange server in the admin group.
I
am
following kb/822931. When I verified public folder replication status i
see
that only a few of the folders are in sync. Other folders are in sync
on
some
servers and not on others.
Also, I am running in a mixed mode environment. I have one 5.5 server
left.

Any ideas?
