The only reason I would leave the old server running is to allow those on vacation to return so that their Outlook will switch automatically.
Do you have replicas of all public folders, plus the Free-Busy, OAB and Forms Library (if applicable) folders on the Exchange 2007 server? Have you tried removing a replica of one folder (make a test one if you want) from Exchange 2003 and verifying that you can get the content from the Exchange 2007 server? Also, I've seen Outlook have a stickiness where it won't switch public folder servers readily, and refreshing the profile (remove the last letter of the name and click Check Name) seems to fix it.

Do you have any thoughts on the wisdom of not killing off the old server after everything was transferred to the new one? I thought I was being cautious, but it seems to have been a mistake. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ed Crowley" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Exchange Discussions" <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, May 12, 2008 12:05 PM Subject: RE: LCR vs Replication > You first want to figure out why the clients can't use the public folders > on > the Exchange 2007 server.
