Question
Exchange 2007 Migration
I have installed a new Exchange 2007 Server and now need to remove my Exchange 2000 server. I have all of my mailboxes migrated to Exchange 2007 and can send and recieve email, access calender and contacts while the Exchange Server 2000 server is powered down.
Does anyone have the process for removing Exchange Server 2000 in plain English? What do I need to do to maintain the integrity of my Exchange organization and AD structure?

I am aware of that document but have the following question. In the section titled "To Prepare Your Organization for Removal of the Last Exchange 2003 or 2000 Server" Step 2 states to "Move all content from the public folder database on the legacy server to a public database on an Exchange 2007 server in the organization". My question is what am I moving and do I need to exercise any caution as not to overwrite anything on the new Exchange 2007 server?
you are replicating any public folder data and system folder information.......
1. Do you use public folders now?
2. Do you still have Outlook 2003 clients?
If the answer is no then you do not need public folders for 2007 to function, if yes then you need to repliate that information.
MS have provided a script that can be found on your Exchange 2007 server in the scripts directory that will setup the replica and there is a remove script as well.
1. The only features that we use are basic email, contacts, and calender.
2. All my clients are Outlook 2003 so i realize that Exchange 2007 creates of public folder database for backwards compatablility.
When Exchange Server 2007 is installed it asks if you have any Outlook 2003 clients. If you repsond that you do it creates the public folder database. If I am not using public folders on Exchange 2000 (I do not think that I am) and Echange 2007 creates public folders for older Outlook clients I am wondering if I can just bypass this step.

Yep then let that cook and later run ReplaceReplicaOnPFRecursiv
One other thing to note - as you coming off Exchange 2000, the public folder replication will take a while. Exchange 2000 PF replication is very conservative. You will need to leave it at least a week before you even consider removing the Exchange 2000 server.
Use item count on the public folders to see if the content is in sync.

When I attempt to run this command (MoveAllReplicas.ps1 -Server clarion02 -NewServer clarion06) I get an error message. The error states the following "The term '.\ReplaceReplicaOnPFRecur
All I have done to is add the name of my local servers. Also, when I run the script MoveAllReplicas.ps1 -Server Server01 -NewServer Server02 (without changing to my server names) the only error that I recieve is that it cannot find either of the servers on my DC.
So why does the command become invalid when I use my server names?
The / or \ is only displayed in the text of the error message not in the command iteself which is MoveAllReplicas.ps1 -Server Server01 -NewServer Server02
All i should have to do is insert the name of my exchange 2000 server in place of Server01 and insert the name of my exchange 2007 server in place of Server02.
jstevens73 - this is an old question. Unlike a forum it is not possible to "bump" questions back up the list. The only people who will see your post are those that have already participated. Instead you should post your question as a new question in the Exchange Server Zone which will allow other experts the chance to see the question and respond.
