There are several considerations. First, do you actually have real public folders or are you just using the PF database to hold the system folders?
Can you answer that question first? Secondly, what versions of Outlook are being used in your environment? Regards, Michael B.

We have a front end server that has been doing hub transport services with, the a/v and anti spam etc. We have recently migrated over to a new spam/av product which is acting as an smtp connector so all mail transactions are simply handed off from the front end server to the connector and vice versa. In our migration process I was asked about putting the Public Folders, which were being stored there and not the cluster, so we can debate on getting rid of that server entirely or converting it to vm, but basically get the public store off it. I poked around and saw some different mentions of problems with doing it, so wanted to know if anyone is doing it successfully. Thanks
