REHOMING Public Folders in Exchange 2003.
Hi,
We have an Exchange 2003 server running SP1. Lets call this server1. THis server currently hosts our private store, public store, and smtp services.
Ther is only one exchange server performing all the tasks.
Since we are running out of disk space on server1 we decided to move the Public folders to a new server.
For this we setup a new Exchange 2003 server with SP1 (let"s call this server as SERVER2).We setup public folder replication between server1 and server2 which
works just fine. The entire public folder contents have been replicated succesfully.
WE have also setup server2 as a referral in the custom routing group on server1.
Now we want to remove the public folder from server1 and our clients running on outlook 2003 to automatically connect to server2 for their public folder resources.
We did try dismounting the public store on server1 and tried to open public folders in Outlook. Sadly it did not work .
WHAT DID WE DO WRONG HERE ?
THank You in advance...

hmmm... dont you think dismounting the public store from server1 would achieve the same thing --- do i really have to delete the public store from server1 ??? because in a live enviornment, if it does not work then we are in deep problems.....
our goal is to have the Public folders on server2 and the Private Folder on Server1
onceagain -- what would be the best way to achieve this...

Replicate All Public Folders to Another Server
Rehome the Offline Address Book Folder
Rehome the Schedule+ Free Busy Folder
You can skip the rest.
You need to make sure you've got your system folders replicated to SERVER2 aswell, its very important!
