You'll want to hear from someone more authoritative than myself, but my understanding is that the concept of homing disappeared in E2K, so if a public folder has several servers listed in its replication tab, all those servers "own" the folder equally.
My gut is that the server would get repopulated but I wouldn't personally do this unless I'd tested it in a lab first (or if someone else on the list can attest to having done it). So maybe you would be better removing Server A from the replication lists first just to be safe. The good news is it's so easy to do with the Propagate Settings feature. Change the replicas in a root-level folder, then right-click on the folder and select All Tasks | Propagate Settings. Select Replicas and hit OK. All subfolders will now inherit the Replicas settings of the parent. Repeat for any other root level folders and you're done. -----Original Message----- From: Andrey Fyodorov [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Saturday, August 10, 2002 9:58 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: Public Folder Sanity Check Hi all. Exchange 2000. I have all Public Folders replicated from server A to server B. On server A, the PF store is showing signs of corruption (error messages in event log) Will it be OK if I dismount the PF store on server A and delete pub1.edb and pub1.stm. Then I would mount the PF store and fresh pub1.edb and pub1.stm would get created. The question is - will the fresh PF store on server A get re-populated based on the server B's replicas? Or should I first completely rehome all PFs to server B by removing their replicas from server A? (Then after the fresh pub1.edb and pub1.stm files are created on server A, rehome all the replicas back to server A) Thanks in advance! _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
