RE: PF replication
Its definitely not caught up, when I do a get-publicfolderstatistics command on each server the totals are very different, the new server is missing lots of data, a few folders are complete and many are completely empty. This happened to me the first time, so maybe there is something corrupted on the sending server that gets stuck. The first time I did this had similar results, the db got to about 2gb and never replicated anything else. Im looking to turn up some logging again to see if I can find errors.

We seem to have uncovered a strange/scary issue with some users who are connecting to Exchange 2007 SP1 mailboxes via EWS using either Apple mail.app, iCal or Entourage (more prevelant on mail.app and ical). 1. Users have reported inbox subfolders go missing, both from the client and server, never to be seen again. The inbox doesn't get touched though. 2. Users on occasion are presented someone elses mailbox when giving their own credentials 3. Users have sent messages and the FROM address is someone elses, when tracked via Exchange it appears from the "FROM" addresses mailbox Raised a ticket with MS but thier response was "We don't support SL". This clearly seems like a server issue, but we can't reproduce on anything other than SL.

How Organizational Forms Work?
Our environment consists of Exchange 5.5/SP4 servers with OL2000 and we have approximately 25,000 users. We currently do not allow forms to be published to the Organizational Forms Library because of a fear of the impact it will have on Outlook response time if there are too many forms. Is this a legitimate fear? I can not find any Microsoft Documentation that states why we shouldn't publish forms to the Organizational Forms Library. And currently, this policy is stifling Outlook/Exchange development projects. Can anyone provide me with some advice on this issue? Thanks in advance.
