Hmmm doing some more digging around I notice that the attributes Home-MTA and Home-MDB are set to the old damaged server. If the folder is already replicated to the new server can I edit this attributes via ADSI to update them to the new server?

Situation is the original public folder server has a corrupt database which can't be repaired, already come to this conclusion with PSS. We need to move all the PF's homed on this server to another server. I have already run pfadmin to replicate all PF's homed on the damaged server to the new server and this has been done successfully, we are talking about 10,000 folders and in a mixed hierarchy. Now I want to rehome all pf's to the new server. I thought I could use PFadmin rehome, but this seems to remove all replicas that are both internal and external to the home site. Is this by design? Do I need to run pfadmin then ds/is consistancy to get the GUI to pickup the new home server and then run pfadmin setreplicas to add back all the old replicas apart from the damaged server? If this is the case won't I generate a whole lot of traffic? Any advice / assistance would be much appreciated. Have also logged a call with PSS but was after your thoughts as well.
