Hi I have a Exchange 2007 Public folder with 1/2 terabyte (500gig) of database ( mainly mail enabled folders) I have recently added 2 more Exchange 2007 Public folder replication , I have 2 HT (HubTransport) server in the ORG. While replicating the the Pub folder to the new Server my HT(hubtransport) get clogged and everything hangs with it. Recently I added one extra HT server so that Public folder can make use of the third HT server . Question 1) Is there any seetings where I can replicate the public folder content through a dedicated HT server by specifying in (receive connector in the HT) 2) Can i use AddReplicaToPFRecursive.ps1 or MoveAllReplicas.ps1 cmd to move selective public folder from the PUB. Thanks John cherian

MoveAllReplicas removes the replicas from one server and adds them to another. I don't think you want that. AddReplicaToPfRecursive is the script you want. Specify a tree as in: .\AddReplicaToPfRecursive.ps1 -TopPublicFolder "\Tree\Folder\Subfolder Name" -ServerToAdd PFSERVER2 Ed Crowley MVP "There are seldom good technological solutions to behavioral problems."

It's always been good practice to stagger the migration\replication of your PF tree especially when it's large over a period of days or weeks and during non prod hrs. Doing all at once can make your server unresponsive.James Chong MCITP | EA | EMA; MCSE | M+, S+ Security+, Project+, ITIL msexchangetips.blogspot.com

You could still do it if you don't mind that one mailbox server using the same HT machine. Set-mailboxserver and the -SubmissionServerOverrideList should do it. >2) Can i use AddReplicaToPFRecursive.ps1 or MoveAllReplicas.ps1 cmd to move selective public folder from the PUB. The source code is there for you to look at and to modify. The addreplicatopfrecursive.ps1 script can be used to deal with different parts of your PF hierarchy. It isn't necessary to start at the top. :-) --- Rich Matheisen MCSE+I, Exchange MVP --- Rich Matheisen MCSE+I, Exchange MVP

Thanks For the reply Could you please eloborate on the first Question . 1) I have a dedicated Pub server with one database , and the size is 522gig. and 3 HT server so the cmd Set-MailboxServer -Identity Server1 -SubmissionServerOverrideList HubServer01 where server1 is my Publicfolder server and Hubserver1 is my dedicated Hub server. so the cmd Moveallreplica.ps1 issued from Publicfolder server will obly use Hubserver1 to replicate to 2nd Publicfolder server . Is there any command to list Get-mailboxserver -SubmissionserverOverridelist . John C John cherian

Thanks Ed for answering the my first question John cJohn cherian

James We are a 24/7 Org so only weekends is only time where there will be limited activity. John CJohn cherian

Don't forget to run the same command on the other mailbox servers in the AD site using the other two HT servers in the -SubmissionServerOverrideList value. >so the cmd Moveallreplica.ps1 issued from Publicfolder server will obly use Hubserver1 to replicate to 2nd Publicfolder server . Yep. But I think that replicating the entire set of public folders all at once isn't the best of ideas. You're still sharing network gear. You should probably think about increasing the size of the replication messages, too. The default of 300KB is pretty small. I usually set the value to 4096KB. >Is there any command to list Get-mailboxserver -SubmissionserverOverridelist . get-mailboxserver | ft name,submissionserveroverridelist When you finish the replication, don't forget to undo the restictions on the use of HT servers. --- Rich Matheisen MCSE+I, Exchange MVP --- Rich Matheisen MCSE+I, Exchange MVP
