Last week i had a question from a customer, and although i haven't seen it myself it makes sense.They are migrating from Exchange 2003 to Exchange 2010, and have a very Big Public folder database which needs to be migrated. I know public folder replication
can take quite a while so i suggested to enable it as soon as possible in the migration project. Now he asked me, what about data that is not fully in sync? And what he meant was the following, if you use the script, the public folder root is copied to Exchange
2010, and if the root folder is copied to the server it could be that users are directed to the new server although not all of the data is present on the new server. Now my advice was to do replication on folder per folder bases, and not use the "add to replica
script". Now i am wondering how others solved it?
