Hi
Could you please advise me the best method for the following case with the public folder?
Ex1 - current public folder server , Ex2 - the new server
Both are exchange 2003
I would like to move public folder from Ex1 to Ex2 and decomission Ex1.
My Plan:
1. Add Ex2 on public folder replication tab.
2. Once all folders are replicated on Ex2, dismount public folder store on Ex1.
3. what is next? Will I have 20GB of EDB from Ex1 to Ex2 after folders are replicated? Will public folder be accessible from Outlook after Ex1 public folder is dismounted? Or Do I need to remove Ex1 from replication tab after all folders are replicated?What about the system folders? Can I move them as well maybe using pfmigrate tool? Should I archive and defrag the edb on ex1 before I add ex2 into replication tab? Will that help reducing replication time?
Thank you in advance.
Cheers,
Pwint
