Hi, Did you use something like the following steps to do this: .\AddReplicaToPFRecursive.ps1 -server "exchange2007server" -TopPublicFolder "\NON_IPM_Subtree" -ServerToAdd "exchange2010server" Wait for replication then run: .\MoveAllReplicas.ps1 -Server "Exchange2007server" -NewServer "Exchange2010server" This needs running from the 2k10 box. You can get full statistics on the public folders by running: Get-PublicFolderStatistics -server "Exchange2007Server" | fl | out-file c:\publicfolders.txt I kept running this at various stages throughout the whole process, at the end of the process when everything has been moved you will get an empty file. It took ages on my box with only a free/busy and OAB populated. You should then be able to delete the PF database, you may need to zap the mailbox database first as it is probably associated with that pf database. Thanks. Andrew. ________________________________________ From: blind-sysadmins-bounces@lists.hodgsonfamily.org [blind-sysadmins-bounces@lists.hodgsonfamily.org] on behalf of Darragh OHeiligh [Darragh.OHeiligh@Oireachtas.ie] Sent: 04 October 2011 11:33 To: blind-sysadmins@lists.hodgsonfamily.org Subject: [Blind-sysadmins] Migrating from Exchange 2007 to 2010. Greetings, I was wondering if any of you would be able to suggest a solution to the following problem? Sinario: 1 Exchange server running version 2007. New exchange server running on 2010. Public folders seem to have been replicated across ok and the 2010 server is configured to be the primary server now. Replication has finally been removed from the 2007 server. It has therefore allowed me to remove the non-system databases. I am now trying to remove the system public databases.
From the GUI or the command line the errors are the same;
Any ideas?
