Move Exchange Server public folders for Windows SBS 2008 migration Problem
Following the MS instructions for migration from an SBS 2003 to SBS 2008 server:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc527516%28WS.10%29.aspx
The Public Folder Instances node on the 2003 server has not emptied after 2 days. It does not appear to be replicating and there are no items visible on the 2007 server Public Folders. Combined Public folder size is minimal < 10MB

Found the following application event logs on the 2003 server:

Exchange Best Practices Analyzer found the following problem
Missing FQDN in service principal name
The computer account for Exchange server server.%domain%.local does not appear to contain the fully-qualified domain name of Exchange SMTP virtual server 'Default SMTP Virtual Server'. This may cause Kerberos authentication to fail when sending messages between servers. The tool expected to find 'SMTPSVC/server.%domain%.c
Tried following the instructions and this was the command output on the 2003 server:

Re-running the Exchange Analyzer re-identifies the same issue again so i may need to do something different with the setspn command

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated as my weekend has just disappeared into bytes.

ASKER CERTIFIED SOLUTION

This solution is only available to members.
To access this solution, you must be a member of Experts Exchange.
I forgot to mention in my last post that if you change either or both of the things stated, you will then need to wait at least a day or two for the replication to finish again. Replication is really slow.

Hi
I've tried both the Standard domain administrator account and a copied domain administrator account to move the folders.
I pushed ahead and moved the mail databases to the new server but the following issues have arisen so I don't think i can just push ahead and get rid of the old server yet:
* Outlook 2003 clients working ok but get 0x8004010F errors when manually sending/receiving - which appears to be a problem with the offline address book.
* Exchange Clients using Outlook web access such as MS Entourage and Iphone can no longer communicate with server.

Did you check the settings I sent you last? Your new issues really are not part of this conversation and you should open up a new ticket for those. It is not fair to ask one question and then morph that in to something else. I hope you understand. Just as a note, domain admin account usually does not have the right for migration. You need to create a user specifically for migration with the rights that microsoft states in the SBS2003 to SBS2008 migration document.

Public Folders moved across finally. Tried a number of things so not really sure which one worked.
I think it was either a whole lot of accounts were disabled on the old server so re-enabled them or correction of FQDM on delivery tab. Giving this one to sosinc3.
thank you

thanks
The correction o the FQDM is what did it for you. Disabled user accounts don't affect public folders.
Is it possible just to export the public folders and reimport them on the 2007 box, or some similar work around? I wouldn't worry too much about all the errors on the 2003 box, unless you're planning on keeping it. If the new environment is working well then Id just look for the quickest way to get the PF's across and remove the old 2003. A backup / restore via tape should work as well.
