We are having an issue regarding spikes in WAN traffic to some of our international Exchange 2007 servers. I'd like to know if there is a powershell command that can be run to allow me to find out which Public Folder servers in our home office are replication with the PF servers in our international sites. It would also be great to see what the replication interval is as well. Do any of you powershell guru's know if this is possible? Thanks! Michael

Well there is nothing much Microsoft supports this issue but you can schedule a different replication time. SYNOPSIS Use the Set-PublicFolder cmdlet to set the attributes of public folders. SYNTAX Set-PublicFolder -Identity <PublicFolderIdParameter> [-AgeLimit <EnhancedTi meSpan>] [-Confirm [<SwitchParameter>]] [-DomainController <Fqdn>] [-Hidden FromAddressListsEnabled <$true | $false>] [-IssueWarningQuota <Unlimited>] [-MaxItemSize <Unlimited>] [-Name <String>] [-PerUserReadStateEnabled <$tru e | $false>] [-ProhibitPostQuota <Unlimited>] [-Replicas <DatabaseIdParamet er[]>] [-ReplicationSchedule <Schedule>] [-RetainDeletedItemsFor <EnhancedT imeSpan>] [-Server <ServerIdParameter>] [-UseDatabaseAgeDefaults <$true | $ false>] [-UseDatabaseQuotaDefaults <$true | $false>] [-UseDatabaseReplicati onSchedule <$true | $false>] [-UseDatabaseRetentionDefaults <$true | $false >] [-WhatIf [<SwitchParameter>]] [<CommonParameters>]

There you go - GOTO- Server Configuration -- Mailbox - Database Managment - Public Folder Storage Group - then Right click Properties of your Public Folder database. Click on Replication TAB and change the default Replication Interval from 15 minutes to let say 60 minutes and the size of the data as you wish.

So from what I am hearing, there is no powershell script commmand that can tell me which PF's in our home office replicates with the ineternational servers and at what time intervals. Am I reading this correctly? -Michael

I was doing some more investigation and was wondering if PFDAVADMIN can give me a list of the replicated folders and to which server they replicate. Does anyone know if this tool can accomplish that?

Hi Ebunky, Could you please make a test using below cmdlet: get-publicfolder -identity \ -recurse |ft name,identity,repicas,replicationschedule,orignatingserver and then confirm whether the information are what you want. PFDAVADMIN is a good tool to admin the public folder, it could do many tasks as referred in the below link: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb508858(EXCHG.65).aspx It also achieve your target.

True, this tool makes an Admin life much hassle free while dealing with PF. Do make sure you run it on a 32-bit OS, else you eill end up getting errors.

Hi Gavin, Thanks for the powershell info. It seems to work, but is very difficult to determine as I need it dumped to a text or CSV file with all details so I can import into Excel. Can I use export-csv with this? -Michael

Hi Ebunky, You coudl export it as below: get-publicfolder -identity \ -recurse |ft name,identity,repicas,replicationschedule,orignatingserver |export-csv c:\foldername.csv Regards!

Thanks for the info Gavin, however, the export to csv does not seem to work correctly. I get a bunch of garbage output into the CSV when the command you specified is run. I am also trying to get the FULL path names of folders and PF store names to appear in the report. I know there must be a way to do this...... -Michael

Hi Michael, Use below: get-publicfolder -identity \ -recurse |ft name,identity,repicas,replicationschedule,orignatingserver > c:\filename.csv Regards!
