Basic rule of thumb: deal with Exchange 2003 objects on Exchange 2003 and deal with Exchange 2010 objects on Exchange 2010.
If your Exchange 2003 SMTP virtual server has an SMTP send connector associated with it, and you have redirected your incoming email to your Exchange 2010 server, then you can remove the Exchange 2003 SMTP connector - do it using ESM. Unless you've already removed it, you should also have a bidirectional routinggroup connection. On Exchange 2010, open the EMS and do a "get-RoutingGroupConnector". Where are you looking at the public folders and which tool are you using? Regards, Michael B.

I am assuming one is for connecting to the 2003 server and that I can safely remove it. The other issue is the error Couldn't find an Exchange 2010 or later public folder server with a replica for the free/busy folder. This is just for clients that are outlook 2003 and older and I can safely ignore this if everyone is running 2007 and newer. (I think). When I look at the public folders, it does show I have the 2010 server as a replica...so not sure exactly why that error pops up. Thanks for the assistance.
