RE: ex07 pf replication
MoveAllReplicas has rarely worked for me (I say it that way, because some people swear it's great; my experience has been otherwise). I recommend that you: [a] Upgrade to 2007 SP3 and use the new functionality in the console to modify all replicas [b] Use the script AddReplicaToPfRecursive. Regards, Michael B.

RE: ex07 pf replication
Thanks, I will try that. Last time I looked about 3 weeks ago SP3 didn't show up on windows update although I saw many people talking about it. Im already forced to restore from backup because somewhere along the line I now have several folders with 0 items that had thousands, not all folders just some .. using pfdavadmin shows me no deleted items and reflects the same item counts . I have to wait until after hours to take the PF DB offline since RSG seems to only work with mailboxes (something I did not know previously). So it looks like that moveallreplicas script really screwed the pooch for me this time, I did use it a few times before without incident FWIW From: Webster [mailto:carlwebs...@gmail.com] Sent: Monday, August 30, 2010 10:25 AM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: ex07 pf replication MoveAllReplicas has never worked for me.
