Exchange 2003/2007 public folder replication issues for one folder
Recently brought up an Exchange 2007 server to migrate away from Exchange 2003. We have about a dozen public folders, all came over fine except one - the most important. It has about 2000 contact items in it, and the total size is about 3 megs.
Only about 1675 items made it over, and we followed the troubleshooting steps here as closely as possible, but it's tough as this was written before 2007 - http://msexchangeteam.com/archive/2006/01/17/417611.aspx
Anyway, it appears it's a backfill issue as new items appear to sync. It's just the initial sync that's causing problems. We turned up diagnositc logging on the 2003 box and receive the following -

The rest of the messages are similar to above, mostly 3021s. The conflict above is what's making me wonder - we use a utility called Add2Exchange - it syncs (One way, public to private) all of the public contacts to each user's private contacts for Blackberry usage.
I tried to resend changes and sync content (Under status in ESM), no help. Finally removed the public folder and let everything settle, then readded the replica - same exact thing, same exact number of items sync'ed.
Ideas?

If PF Replication is causing so much problems - export the PF to a local PST and re-import on the E2k7 box.
