I don't think so! PFMigrate works only withing the same organization
and, even more restrictive, within the same routing group. It's not
going be of any help mobing ouble folders between orgainzations!
For that sort of work he'll need the InterOrg Replication Tool.

That's what PFMigrate does. :)
Contrary to what a lot of people believe, PFMigrate does nothing with
the contents of the public folders.

It isn't the right tool for the task.

Re: help migrating public folders
Dear Rich,
Thanks a lot for your reply. i have some comments :

> and, even more restrictive, within the same routing group. It's not
> going be of any help mobing ouble folders between orgainzations!
First of all, the user didn't mentioned that he has two different
organization , one for 5.5 and the other for 2003, so my post was based on
the believe that the customer has 5.5 and 2003 in the same organization, and
since he has a huge data for public folders he does not want to use the
normal PF Replication between the two servers, so why should i assume that
he has two differnet orgs ? for this reason, PFMigrate tools was proposed.
and where from his post it was mentioned that "I want o mgirate from 5.5 Org
to 2003 Org" ? it is not mentioned, right ? so my assumption is right , i
think , please advice.
> That's what PFMigrate does. :)
and this is what i proposed for him :)
>Contrary to what a lot of people believe, PFMigrate does nothing with the

PFMigrate migrating the public folders as is from one server to the other ,
am i right ?
>It isn't the right tool for the task.
since he needs to migrate the public folders from 5.5 to 2003 (i assumes
they are in the sam Org again) he can use PFMigrate utility, am i right too
?

From the first line of the message you replied to: "orgs are on the
same LAN".

What other type of replication is there between two PF stores?
PFMigrate doesn't move PF content.

Because he said so? That's a pretty good reason!

Nope. PFMigrate just modifies the replicas list. You can do the same
thing using the ESM. PFMigrate makes it less tedious. Once the
replicas list is modified it's the normal PF replcation mechanism that
moves the PF contents to the new replicas.

If they're in the same organization, and the same routing group, yes.

Re: help migrating public folders
Dear Rich,
you are right, really i didn't read momo's second reply carefully, you are
right, he mentioned it clearly, i am sorry.
to be honost with you, when i read your reply, i read more about it and i
got all the information you mentioned. but still i am insists that my post
or my solution is right if the two exchange servers are exists in the same
Org :):)
as i read more about PFMigrate, add the new exchange server under the
replica set of the public folders along with the old server which is 5.5, ?
and then the public folder store will replicate its content based on these
replica sets, which contains 5.5 and 2003. so PFMigrate will not actually
migrate the content of the Public Folders, but it will create the replica
set for replication to start , right ? in other words, instead of the
exchange administrator manually adding the new exchange server 2003 under
the replica set , the PFMigrate tools will do this for him, is this is true
?
sorry again for the misunderstanding of the post.

Yes. PFMigrate is a labor-saving tool.
