We have an Exchange 5.5 on NT 4.0 for email and have now setup a new Exchange 5.5 on Win2k server to be used as our public folder server. I have looked into the KB articles by Microsoft on how to remove the public information store from an existing Exchange server, but it has left me with a few questions.
1. Is it safe to remove the public information store from the original Exchange server (that will stay in production as private store only)? (We have replicated the pub to the other server) We need to free up the 10 GB of space the Pub takes up. 2. The KB article basically says to use Perfwiz to clear the pub (but this does not actually delete the pub.edb file), is this the best way? 3. After running the wizard, can I just delete the pub.ebd file to recover the space? 4. The KB article also states that you need to move other items such as Free/Busy and Offline address book if removing the server. If the server is staying and all we are doing id deleting the pub.edb file, do we need to move all the others over to the other server as well? How do they (free/busy, address book, etc) relate to the pub.edb ? Any suggestions will be appreciated greatly.
