Question : Public folders not moving to Exchange 2007

I've migrated a client to an Exchnage 2007 server from Exchange 2003, and it seems that clients are accessing the Publlic Folders via EX2K7, however, the 2003 server still shows folders under Instances.

I've enabled logging and see EX2k3 sending changes to the other server, however, I'm expecting to see the Instances folder emptied at some point.

Also, I do not see any replication related events showing up on EX2K7.

What should I look for here?

Thanks,
Fred

Answer : Public folders not moving to Exchange 2007

1. How is the exchange 2007 server roles deployed ? All the 3 roles - Mailbox, CAS & Hub on the same server or on different servers ?

2.Is the mail flow working between the 2 servers ? If no, then this needs to be fixed first

3. Make sure you have increased the Diagnostics logging on the exchange 2003 server and the exchange 2007 Mailbox & Hub server.

4. Run the following from the Exchange Management shell just to make sure there are no Exchange 2003 replicas on the Exchange 2007 Public folders:
=> Get-PublicFolder \ -Recurse | ft Name,Replicas

=> Get-PublicFolder \NON_IPM_SUBTREE -Recurse | ft Name,Replicas

If you find the exchange 2003 server replica, then you need to remove the exchange 2003 replicas here
