Thanks Ed. I will shut down the store on the old 2003 box. I have moved
the
Network Administrator mailbox and the Spectra Postmaster mailboxes and
left
everything else alone. I will ask the former employee that set up the
first
Exchange 2003 server about the calendar connector.
One thing I did not mention is that there is still a 5.5 server on our
domain and this first 2003 Exchange server is running the Site Replication
Service. Any advice on what to do with that, or should I start a new post?

It is the first Exchange2003 server on the network. Should be the same,
no?

Same, yes.

Just shutdown the info store?

Yes. If the server is 200x, then just dismount the public store.

Also, in the mailbox container there are SMTP, System Mailbox, and
System
Attendant. These I believe I do not move.

Correct, no problem.

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.

If you plan to keep them, yes.

The option to move
the mailbox is not available on the calendar connector. What do I do
with
that?

I don't know. I am not familiar with that add-on. I recommend that you
post a separate question about that.

And what if I now see NO status on the replication status details
window?

Dismount the store or stop the IS and see if users can see content. If
the
content is there, you're good to go.

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?
