Migrating from SBS 2003 to a new server, Exchange problem

I am in the process of migrating SBS 2003 to a new system. I am following the steps as outlined here:

http://technet2.microsoft.com/WindowsServerSolutions/SBS/en/library/62e2094e-ad4e-4227-b20e-97a716ed7c861033.mspx?mfr=true

I am at the point where I am migrating the Exchange data, specifically replicating the public folders. In ESM, when I click on the public folders I get this error:

The HTTP service used by Public Folders is not available, possible causes are that Public stores are not mounted and the Information Store service is not running.
ID no: c1030af3
Exchange System Manager

I am currently NOT using any public folders. The next step talks about replicating system folders in the public folders. If I'm not using public folders for anything, can I skip this step or should I try to fix it because there's something in the system folders that I need? Thanks!!

I had that on a home system last night... I couldn't fix it. It was a bad build so I removed Exchange, wiped the machine and then reinstalled Exchange. Good as gold then.

This is the Microsoft article on the error code: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa996098(EXCHG.65).aspx

kieran..

I haven't really tried anything yet. I found the article Sembee linked before I posted the question and my eyes kind of glazed over. :)

Have you looked into swingmigration.com? They have a lot of information about migrating SBS.

I feel like I'm spinning in circles here. I have found a million websites dealing with this error but I'm very confused on where to even start. :/

kieran_b

can you browse to http://localhost/public from the old server?

kieran,

No, I cannot. I think I may be on to something here though. I think there's a problem with replication between the servers. Here's the results of dcdiag: ("FREEDOM" is the new server "PCERSERVER" is the old one)

After researching this quite a bit, I think my public folders are hosed. What's the downfall of continuing without replicating them?
