I have got a FE Exchange server that used to host mailboxes and public stores, that were moved to a BE server. All replicas have been removed from the FE server. The front end server will be accepting smtp mail from the internet so will need a store. According to the docs on Configuring a FE server,(page 60 Exchange Server 2003 Front-End and Back-End Topology) this only needs one store, and if I create a mailbox store it requires a public store as well. Do I point this PS to a BE servers public store? Using Exchange servers 2003 SP1. RajiA

You don't need a PF store on an FE if you're using it as a bridgehead. As you have read, you do need the MB store loaded but an MB store does not mean you have to have a public store. No users can be homed on that MB store.
Thanks. I had a problem when the PF SG was there with no PF store in it. Any mail to a PF was not being deleiverd to the BE store. Fixed now.
