Replicate Exchange 2k3 public folders to 2K7
I am transitioning from Exchange 2003 to Exchange 2007. So far I have both servers up and running. I have a few mailboxes moved over the the new 2007 server and everything seems to be going fine so far. The only thing that is preventing me from moving all the users over is I (my mailbox in on the new Exchange 2007 server) can't access the public folders. I have tried all day to replicate them but it never seems to happen. Currently in ESM under the Public Folders, on the replication tab, on the new server it says "Local Modified" under Replication Status. An excerpt from my SMTP log if this helps at all: 20:57:38 <NewServer IPAddress> - - 020:57:38 <NewServer IPAddress> EHLO - 020:57:38 <NewServer IPAddress> - - 020:57:38 <NewServer IPAddress> - - 020:57:38 <NewServer IPAddress> - - 020:57:38 <NewServer IPAddress> - - 020:57:38 <NewServer IPAddress> MAIL - 020:57:38 <NewServer IPAddress> - - 020:57:38 <NewServer IPAddress> RCPT - 020:57:38 <NewServer IPAddress> - - 020:57:38 <NewServer IPAddress> XEXCH50 - 020:57:38 <NewServer IPAddress> - - 020:57:38 <NewServer IPAddress> - - 020:57:38 <NewServer IPAddress> BDAT - 020:57:38 <NewServer IPAddress> - - 020:57:38 <NewServer IPAddress> QUIT - 020:57:38 <NewServer IPAddress> - - 020:58:44 <NewServer IPAddress> EHLO - 25020:58:44 <NewServer IPAddress> x-exps - 020:58:44 <NewServer IPAddress> MAIL - 25020:58:44 <NewServer IPAddress> RCPT - 25020:58:44 <NewServer IPAddress> xexch50 - 35420:58:44 <NewServer IPAddress> BDAT - 25020:58:44 <NewServer IPAddress> MAIL - 25020:58:44 <NewServer IPAddress> RCPT - 25020:58:44 <NewServer IPAddress> xexch50 - 35420:58:44 <NewServer IPAddress> - - 020:58:44 <NewServer IPAddress> EHLO - 020:58:44 <NewServer IPAddress> BDAT - 25020:58:44 <NewServer IPAddress> - - 020:58:44 <NewServer IPAddress> MAIL - 25020:58:44 <NewServer IPAddress> RCPT - 25020:58:44 <NewServer IPAddress> - - 020:58:44 <NewServer IPAddress> - - 020:58:44 <NewServer IPAddress> - - 020:58:44 <NewServer IPAddress> MAIL - 020:58:44 <NewServer IPAddress> - - 020:58:44 <NewServer IPAddress> RCPT - 020:58:44 <NewServer IPAddress> - - 020:58:44 <NewServer IPAddress> XEXCH50 - 020:58:44 <NewServer IPAddress> - - 020:58:44 <NewServer IPAddress> - - 020:58:44 <NewServer IPAddress> BDAT - 020:58:44 <NewServer IPAddress> - - 020:58:44 <NewServer IPAddress> QUIT - 020:58:44 <NewServer IPAddress> - - 020:58:44 <NewServer IPAddress> xexch50 - 35420:58:44 <NewServer IPAddress> - - 020:58:44 <NewServer IPAddress> EHLO - 020:58:44 <NewServer IPAddress> - - 020:58:44 <NewServer IPAddress> - - 020:58:44 <NewServer IPAddress> - - 020:58:44 <NewServer IPAddress> - - 020:58:44 <NewServer IPAddress> MAIL - 020:58:44 <NewServer IPAddress> - - 020:58:44 <NewServer IPAddress> RCPT - 020:58:44 <NewServer IPAddress> - - 020:58:44 <NewServer IPAddress> XEXCH50 - 020:58:44 <NewServer IPAddress> BDAT - 25020:58:44 <NewServer IPAddress> - - 020:58:44 <NewServer IPAddress> MAIL - 25020:58:44 <NewServer IPAddress> RCPT - 25020:58:44 <NewServer IPAddress> - - 020:58:44 <NewServer IPAddress> BDAT - 020:58:44 <NewServer IPAddress> - - 020:58:44 <NewServer IPAddress> QUIT - 020:58:44 <NewServer IPAddress> - - 020:58:44 <NewServer IPAddress> xexch50 - 35420:58:44 <NewServer IPAddress> - - 020:58:44 <NewServer IPAddress> EHLO - 020:58:44 <NewServer IPAddress> BDAT - 25020:58:44 <NewServer IPAddress> - - 020:58:44 <NewServer IPAddress> QUIT - 24020:58:44 <NewServer IPAddress> - - 020:58:44 <NewServer IPAddress> - - 020:58:44 <NewServer IPAddress> - - 020:58:44 <NewServer IPAddress> MAIL - 020:58:44 <NewServer IPAddress> - - 020:58:44 <NewServer IPAddress> RCPT - 020:58:44 <NewServer IPAddress> - - 020:58:44 <NewServer IPAddress> XEXCH50 - 020:58:44 <NewServer IPAddress> - - 020:58:44 <NewServer IPAddress> - - 020:58:44 <NewServer IPAddress> BDAT - 020:58:44 <NewServer IPAddress> - - 020:58:44 <NewServer IPAddress> QUIT - 020:58:44 <NewServer IPAddress> - - 020:58:45 <NewServer IPAddress> - - 020:58:45 <NewServer IPAddress> EHLO - 020:58:45 <NewServer IPAddress> - - 020:58:45 <NewServer IPAddress> - - 020:58:45 <NewServer IPAddress> - - 020:58:45 <NewServer IPAddress> - - 020:58:45 <NewServer IPAddress> MAIL - 020:58:45 <NewServer IPAddress> - - 020:58:45 <NewServer IPAddress> RCPT - 020:58:45 <NewServer IPAddress> - - 020:58:45 <NewServer IPAddress> XEXCH50 - 020:58:45 <NewServer IPAddress> - - 020:58:45 <NewServer IPAddress> - - 020:58:45 <NewServer IPAddress> BDAT - 020:58:45 <NewServer IPAddress> - - 020:58:45 <NewServer IPAddress> QUIT - 020:58:45 <NewServer IPAddress> - - 020:58:54 <NewServer IPAddress> - - 020:58:54 <NewServer IPAddress> EHLO - 020:58:54 <NewServer IPAddress> - - 020:58:54 <NewServer IPAddress> - - 020:58:54 <NewServer IPAddress> - - 020:58:54 <NewServer IPAddress> - - 020:58:54 <NewServer IPAddress> MAIL - 020:58:54 <NewServer IPAddress> - - 020:58:54 <NewServer IPAddress> RCPT - 020:58:54 <NewServer IPAddress> - - 020:58:54 <NewServer IPAddress> XEXCH50 - 020:58:54 <NewServer IPAddress> - - 020:58:54 <NewServer IPAddress> - - 020:58:54 <NewServer IPAddress> BDAT - 020:58:54 <NewServer IPAddress> - - 020:58:54 <NewServer IPAddress> QUIT - 020:58:54 <NewServer IPAddress> - - 0 Can anyone provide any info on how to get this working for me?

Issue description: Public folder replication issue from exchange 2003 to exchange 2007 Collect info: 1. Confirm the version and SP of exchange, are they exchange 2003 SP2 and exchange 2007 SP1? 2. Please check if theres any related error or warning info about public folder replication in the both servers Troubleshooting: 1. Did the hierarchy and content not replicate all from exchange 2003 [e2k3] to 2007 [e2k7] at all? Use PFDavAdmin to check the public folders contents Use MFCMAPI to check which server outlook is connecting to a. Launch it on one of the users b. Session menu->choose Logon and Display Store Table->choose his profile in jumped window c. On the top-pane, double-click users public folder and go to next window d. Click on the root folder, and then search for PR_REPLICA_SERVER property on the right-pane. Check which server name is listed in there 2. Also, please rise diagnose level to Maximum to monitor the issue, it will generate the incoming and outgoing loggings on the application log for both of servers, they will able to tell us whats going on: E2k3: logging on Replication Incoming and Replication Outgoing to Maximum in ESM E2k7: Use Set-EventLogLevel to set "MSExchangeIS\9001 Public\Replication Incoming Messages" and "MSExchangeIS\9001 Public\Replication Outgoing Messages" to the Expert level in EMS Then try to remove and add the e2k7 to replica list again to generate the log Please check the Troubleshooting the Replication of New Changes section of public folder replication troubleshooting
