I am trying to move the public folders for our 5.5 server to a new 2003
server.

2003 is installed and ADC is working correctly.

I run pfmigrate.wsf and is says that there are 0 public folders. So I
tried to go in to the 5.5 server and add the replication manually to
each public folder (all 600 of them). The folder still do not replicate.

If I go in to the Folder Replication Status in the Excange 5.5
administrator and double-click on any of the fodlers that replication
was added for I get this error: "The Object is no longer available.
Press the F5 key to refresh the display, and then try again. Microsoft
Exchange Administrator ID no: c1030745"

If I look at the Public Information Store of the 5.5 server form the
2003 server it does not list any public folders.

The Public Folder list in 2003 shows 1 public folder that is not on 5.5.
  This public folder is one that was on a 5.5 sever that used to be in
our system a while back but died. It only contained that public folder
at the time.

Can any one help?
