Move Public Folders form Exhcange 2003 to Exchnage 2010

Hi Guys,

I have Exchange 2010 coexists with Exchange 2003 in multiple active directory sites, some sites have their own 2003 back-end servers, some sites have been migrated to 2010, since 24 hours i have moved the Public folder to Exchange 2010 at some sites, when you check "Connection Status" in some sites (Exchange 2010 ones) you find that they are still connected to the old 2003 back-end even that their mailboxes has been moved, some sites are connected the new Exchange 2010 public folder.
I think there is something i have to do in the AD Replication, even that the replication has been done for all sites.

Please Advice.

Regards,

M. E

Hi shreedhar, thanks for the links, actually, already i did exactly what is written in there.

Hi Akhater, about ESM- public folder instances- Yes it still shows all public folders, even that in the replication tab of the Public Folder Store it shows the Exchange 2010 servers only.
for the time did the move 24 hours ago...
is there anything should i add related to site name?
regards,
M.E

some of them are 0s but the for Mailrestore, OAB version 2,3a,4 and schedule + Free busy .... still the same size no change.
the strange thing that when i right click on Public folder store and say "Move All Replicas" is still give me the Exchange 2010 database as a destination, while the Exchange 2003 is not an available destination.
thanks

in replica as you said it shows only the Exchange 2010 name.
in the a get-publicfolderstatistics it shows exactly the values shown in the EMS 2003 but with different ITEM counts, i believe we have to wait for another 24 hours and see.
i will inform you tomorrow at the same time.
thanks a lot.

if you want from ESM right click on public folder and resend changes

Thank you M.E for the updates, this would explain why the clients were still connecting to the 2003 but not why the databases are not being removed from the Instances in ESM. Are they still there ?
Hi Akhater,

Yes in ESM the public folder instances still has the same content as before, this is very strange, it should be empty by now, right? it is more than one week by now, anyways, for now it is ok as the clients are connected to Exchange2010, but my concern is later when i will decommission the Exchange 2003, because i will not be able to remove public folder if this folder did not moved successfully to Exchange 2010
