Re: SBS 2003 errors after swing migration

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

I just wanted a sort of overview of just how complete the migration is. As I had not done one before. And probably wont again.

It would have been better to purchase the swing migration kit from Jeff (www.sbsmigration.com) to get all the complete documentation and support. The guide you refer to is only that even though it was written by Jeff.

Hi, I did a swing migration to new hardware. Just to see whats involved really. it went ok for the most part.

Exchange OAB kept reporting errors until I reset the folders.
public mail enabled folders, stopped being mail enabled. I tried to delete and recreate the same public folder (with distribution group wizard in the server console) the wizard crashed.

Eventually I just created the group in the active directory, then added myself as a member (because there was no public folder) then createde a public folder with outlook, and a rule to shift email sent to that address to the pub folder.

It's ugly and I don't like it. How can I restore the mail enabled public folders function? I treid making a new group called TEST, the wizard also hung doing that.

Also theres some double ups that are in exchange.
global events
internal
OWA scratchpad
storeevents

I'm pretty certain I followed the guide in the Advanced Windows SBS 2003 best practises.
