Echange 2003 to 2007 migration

[Soldier101]

Recently took over a network for a client of mine. Here is what is going on.

They currently have an exchange 2003 box and an exchange 2007 box. All email appear to be running off of the exchange 2007 box however some of their personal folders are on the 2003 box still and some are running off of the 2007 box. How do I move all of those public folders over (or sync them up) to the 2007 box so I can yank the 2003 box out of the way? (remember some folders have migrated or at least partially migrated.....as some folders are available even when we turn the 2003 box off)




(REALLY old machine running exchange and it randomly powers off anyways)

by 'Personal Folders' do you mean PST's or a new folder in the mailbox (like Inbox2 or 'keep these' folders)
Im guessing the mailbox on 2007 doesnt have the new/custom/user created folders?

Start here:

Basically, you have to replicate all of the public folders from 2003 to 2007 and move all mailboxes from 03 to 07. Make sure all mailflow is going through 2007. Remove connectors, uninstall 2003.

Open up the Exchange Management Shell on the 2007 box and run this:

MoveAllReplicas.ps1 -Server "2003 Server" -NewServer "2007 Server"

Depending on the amount of public folders, you'll need to wait a while for the process to finish. I'd give it a day or two to be safe. This will re-home all of the 2003 Public Folders to 2007. You may also want to double check to make sure that the 2007 databases are set to use the 2007 server and not the 2003 server for Public Folders after this is done.
