Replicating Public Folders query
HiWe are running Exchange 2003 SP2 and will be moving to Exchange 2007 SP1.We have a dedicated Public Folder server for our org. The PF Store holds all the PF's.As we migrate to 2007, we need to move all the PF's to the new server, PFNEW1.Couple of questions:1. If I go to the existing PF server > SG1 > PF Store, then there are folders for "Public Folder Instances" and "Public Folders". What is the difference between the two? 2. My plan was to add PFNEW1 in the Properties of PF > Replication > "Replicate content to these public stores" list, wait for replication, then remove the replica from the original PF server....does this sound like a good plan?3. If I am to carry out the above, is there anyway to mass select all the Public Folders/Public Folder Instances (which one do I choose) > Properties to make the changes I mention in #2? Or do I need to go to the Properties of each and every PF/PF Instance?4. On the actual PF Store of the existing PF Server, if I right click, there is the option to "Move all Replicas"....will this actual *Move* the PF's, or just copy them to whichever server I select?Thanks guys

Per my knowledge, the following is the answers for the questions:
Public Folder Instances shows all the replica of the public folders that exist in this store, and Public Folders shows all the public folders
Its up to you about the procedure for public folder migration. But, here are the recommended methods
