Re: Public Store question

Hi msadexchman,

The list of replica servers is pulled out of AD to the best of my knowledge.
It is pulled from the msexchowningpftreebl value of the PF tree in question.
As long as the store in question is associated with the correct tree it
should populate this value and allow you to set the replicas. It may take
some time for AD replication but beyond that this should work.

Hope This Helps,
