Re: Major goof when migrating OAB to E2K7
The sitefolderserver will be moved (or changed in AD) to your Ex2007 server once you remove the public folder database from the last ex2003 database; you'll be pompted when you go to delete the pf db. At that time you will need to restart the SA on the Ex2007 public folder server for the change to take affect. As for the offlineoabserver, I believe so, but I'm not 100% sure. I can check on this a bit later and confirm...unless someone jumps in before me. also see this: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb288905.aspx -alex On Thu, Jul 2, 2009 at 7:55 AM, Russ Patterson rus...@gmail.com wrote: We didnt get any events 9331 or 9335 overnight, so I'm knocking-on-wood hoping we're good.

RE: Major goof when migrating OAB to E2K7
An OAB has a specific generation server tied to it. You shouldn't be able to remove the Exchange 2003 server if you haven't rehomed any OABs hosted on that server. If you removed the server manually, you can move-offlineaddressbook from the Exchange Management Shell (and probably from the Exchange Management Console as well).

RE: Major goof when migrating OAB to E2K7
Once you mount the PF store, edit the properties of the OAB to include PF publishing, and then update-offlineaddressbook from the Exchange Management Shell (or the Exchange Management Console, whichever you are most familiar with). That's all it should take. No biggie. If you are using Outlook 2003 or above, you shouldn't need siteFolderServer; but as Alex said in another posting, it should be rehomed when you remove the server that hosts it, to any server in the AG that hosts a PF store.
