Hello Folks,
In order to remove an Exchange Server 2003 we must move all Public Folder to another server. In this post we will be moving the PF data from an Exchange Server 2003 to an Exchange Server 2007. After finishing the procedure that will be described in this post we can remove the Public Folder store from Exchange Server 2003.
First of all let's replicate all the data from 2k3 to 2k7, to do that let's add the 2k7 in the Replication tab list of all current folders of Exchange Server 2003. It will take some time and it depends how large is our PF data.
We can also see all the current PF content locally under
Public Folder Store / Public Folder Instances.
Let's move those PF to our Exchange Server 2007. We can accomplish this from different ways, on of them is running in the Exchange Management Console a script called MoveAllReplicas.ps1, as shown in figure below.
MoveAllReplicas.ps1 -Server <old-server> -NewServer <New-Server>
After that command we can check the Public Folder in the Exhcange 2003 and we will see that the replication tab has only Exchange Server 2007 on that list.
To see the operation progress, we can check the
Public Folder Instances to validate that folders seen in the the same item will start to disappear, when there are not any item left on the right side we can remove securely the Public Folder store from Exchange Server 2003.

Hello guys,
Two kbs were published recently that can be the solution of some Exchange admins headaches, here they are:
If you are experiencing some excessive memory use, you can check this kb out: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;943502&sd=rss&spid=10926
The second one is about an error when we run these cmdlets: test-owaconnectivity and test-activesyncconnectivity. It can occur when you have netbios name different than the FQDN name. Here is the kb: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;943273&sd=rss&spid=10926

Helo Folks
Another change that will appear in the Exchange Server 2007 SP1 is that we are able to choose the Global Catalog, Domain Controller and we have also an option to work with rule messages when we are moving mailbox to a database located in an Exchange Server 2000/2003 (rule size is limited to 32kb).
We have another improvements through Exchange Management Console that I will explained in another post.

Hello folks,
Exchange Server 2007 doesn't allow us to purge the disconnected mailbox. In order to remove one or multiple disconnected mailboxes we can be performing these steps:
Listing all disconnected mailboxes
Get-MailboxStatistics | where-object { $_.DisconnectDate -ne $null } | Select DisplayName,MailboxGuid
Removing a single entry
Remove-Mailbox -Database <Database-Name> -StoreMailboxIdentity <MailboxGuid> -confirm:$false
Removing all users at the same time
$users = Get-MailboxStatistics | where-object { $_.DisconnectDate -ne $null } | Select DisplayName,MailboxGuid
Now that we have all disconnected mailboxes in a var, we can run the following cmdlet to remove all of them:
$users | ForEach { Remove-Mailbox -Database "Mailbox Database" -StoreMailboxIdentity $_.MailboxGuid -confirm:$false }

Hello Folks,
Using Exchange 2007 SP1 we will be able to configure Message Tracking and Connectivity logging through Exchange Management Console, we also will be able to change the send and receive connectors protocol log path as well. There is a new tab called Log Settings that can be found in the Properties of each Hub Transport Server under Server Configuration.
Just in case, I'm gonna paste the content of the first entry of this week:
Important: Do not install SP1 in the production environment, we must wait for the RTM Version. For more information: http://msexchangeteam.com/archive/2007/08/29/446867.aspx
How Do I test the Exchange Server 2007 SP1? there is an VHD image available at http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=bc381af4-9bd0-49dd-be1a-0c6ee49cd2bc&displaylang=en
