Public Folders moved from Exchange 2003 to 2010 - No route to the mailbox

Hi,

Moved all Public Folders from Exchange 2003 to Exchange 2010 (All up to date Service Packs)

Want to remove the Exchange 2003 Server now, but keep getting a few of these errors in the Exchange 2010 Queue Viewer:

Identity: <Exchange 2010>\Unreachable\346614

All public folders replicas have been removed from 2003 and I also went into the Public Folder Management Console in Exchange 2010 and removed all the replicas from there. Although it does not show replicas for the System folders.

Any pointers on this please?

In writing this, I may have found the issue. I have removed the Exchange 2003 Replicas only from the Root folders. You need to do that also on the subfolders. Will update shortly if that resolves my issue

You can always use PFDavadmin to work your way out ... you can also check the PF folder under database in ESM on Exchange 2003 and understand which PF's are still using the Old PFDatabase as replica

If all mailboxes have been moved from Exchange 2003 to 2010 then just use Move All Replicas command. That will add the new server to any folders that you have missed and remove the old server. No need to go through every folder on its own.

Ok, just came back to check and it has reduced the issue significantly, but still a few trickling through. Thanks Sembree2, but Pretty sure I have done the "Move All replicas",.

I'm going to first try the powellshell script to remove the old Exchange 2003 suggested by Smighty and will come back on an update shortly
Thanks

Ok I used Smighty's link along with this one as well http://smtp25.blogspot.co.uk/2011/08/move-public-folders-all-replica-to.html

Both FrontEnd and BackEnd Exchange 2003 Servers have been uninstalled, will check Exchange 2010 tomorrow to see if anything creeps up and then will update.

Thanks for all the input
