I believe I found my answer, so I apologize for the previous interruption. After a fresh look it was "MoveAllReplicas.ps1 -Server Server01 -NewServer Server02" that allowed me to clear the hanging replicas, and finally remove the DB.

I'd like to begin cleaning up the environment and removing the old servers, but the PFs appear to present an issue. The EMC wont allow me to remove the DBs because the PF DB "contains folder replicas". I have read several TechNet articles, and now I feel thoroughly confused. I want to delete the old E2K7 test servers and hence their PF databases, but I don't want to delete the PF structure for my users. Is it correct to say that if I leave at least 1 PF DB on an E2K7 server, then when I remove the PF DBs on the "other" E2K7 servers that I wont be affecting the E2K3 PF structure? I had planned on using the EMS command-let Remove-PublicFolderDatabase -Identity "old_E2K7_server_name\old_PFSG_name\old_PFDB_name" Thank you in advance for any suggestions or commentary. -Keith Beahm ________________________________ This communication is from a law firm and may contain confidential and/or privileged information.
