Hello! I'm in the process of migrating from Exchange 2003 to Exchange 2010. Already migrated all mailboxes from Exchange 2003 to Exchange 2010. All public folders have been replicated from Exchange 2003 to Exchange 2010. Now I need to remove the replica of public folders from Exchange 2003. My question is in the process of removing the public folder replicas from Exchange 2003 using MoveAllReplicas.ps1. My concern is whether the contents of public folders from Exchange 2003 will replace the contents of Exchange 2010 public folders. What makes MoveAllReplicas.ps1? The MoveAllReplicas.ps1 consider whether the content of target public folder is newer and does not perform the copy? Thanks!

If you use MoveAllReplicas.ps1 it adds a replica on the new server and removes the replica on the old server at the same time. I think that's only useful for a tiny fraction of migration scenarios since there is usually a period during which mailboxes reside on both servers. I generally first run AddReplicaToPFRecursive.ps1 and then when the transition is complete run RemoveReplicaFromPFRecursive.ps1. Don't forget to run it on the following system folder roots: "\NON_IPM_SUBTREE\SCHEDULE+ FREE BUSY" "\NON_IPM_SUBTREE\OFFLINE ADDRESS BOOK" "\NON_IPM_SUBTREE\EFORMS LIBRARY" (if you use organizational forms) The rest of the system folders on the old server need not be replicated as they're server-specific, just delete them. Public folders are multi-master. If one exists, it has replicas defined. Moving a public folder simply means creating a replica on one server, moving the content, and then removing the replica from the old server. Since the MoveAllReplicas.ps1 script does both, it depends on Exchange's public folder replication infrastructure to not remove the replica from the first server until content has replicated, something it's supposed to do by design.

Hi, >What makes MoveAllReplicas.ps1? when you run MoveAllReplicas.ps1 you can specify the source server and target server like the cmdlet show below: .\MoveAllReplicas.ps1 -Server "Exchange 2003 Server" -NewServer "Exchange 2010 Server" when you finish the replication on your new server, this cmdlet actually remove the replica from Exchange 2003 Usually, follow the process provided in the link below: http://blogs.technet.com/b/agobbi/archive/2010/08/04/how-to-move-public-folder-from-exchange-2003-to-exchagne-2010.aspx Please remember to click Mark as Answer on the post that helps you, and to click Unmark as Answer if a marked post does not actually answer your question.
