I'll take a moment first to clarify that for anyone who is working from the
book chapter I wrote on Swing Migration, the content of that chapter was cut
for total book page length and that forced the removal of all of the
troubleshooting section (for the entire project path), including the
Exchange "it didn't work, what do I do" parts. The Technician Kit includes
that 16 pg section. After SBS SP1 was released, I wrote an additional
Release Notes reference that since the last time it was updates is now
another 15 pgs, and it does address issues specific to Exchange.

Thanks, Jeff, for the clarification. It was those hundred pages I didn't want
to read, important as they are. I just moved back to a set that was a week
old, and they opened fine. I guess that means I can get almost everything
copied to a PST.

I do think I need to poke PSS about this and maybe they will write up a KB. A
thing to remember is that this happened to the systems that were not
forklifted. I can't open the Public Store on the system that was running fine,
both Priv and Pub were mounted and processing message requests OK. Now, after
SP1 and 43 subsequent critical updates, the Public Store doesn't mount. If PSS
doesn't produce a successful result, I will come get your kit.
