I guess what I was thinking really didn't get down on the paper clearly.
You should follow this procedure:
In the Exchange admin program, go to PUBLIC FOLDERS, ignore the
system folders for now.
Find the PF branch that you want to move to the "other server"
in your site. Find the top level folder of that branch. Open the
properties, go to the REPLICAS tab. Make the changes to the replicas
that you want on this folder. Once your changes are completed, go back
to the GENERAL tab.
Click the box marked "propagate these properties to all
subfolders". Check the box that says "REPLICAS".
Now before you click on the APPLY button be warned... WHATEVER
YOU DID AT THIS LEVEL WILL OVERWRITE ANY SETTINGS THAT ARE PRESENT IN
FOLDERS FURTHER OUT ON THE BRANCH. Be very very sure that you want to
overwrite any replica information on lower level folders.
Click the apply button. The system will give you a clock and
show the folders of the branch where your changes are being applied.
Set your egg timer for 24 to 48 hours.
When it dings, go back to the same folder you accessed
previously, open the properties and this time go to the ADVANCED tab.
Set the drop down menu for the server you now want to be the home server
of this branch. Go back to the GENERAL tab and click the "propagate
these properties to all subfolders" box. Think hard, do you really want
to do this, then click the APPLY button.
You now have changed the home server of that branch of public
folders.
Note: if any folders in the branch that you have just changed are homed
in other sites, and restrict administrative changes to their home site,
you will get an error popup telling you of the problem.

Subject: RE: Rehome all public folders - recommended method?
Thanks John. Presumably I do the following (better sure than sorry):
Go to the new servers Public IS, instances tab, add everything except
eventconfig_otherservers Go to the old servers Private IS, set Public
Folder server to the new server Wait a day or two for replication (these
servers are all physically in the same site/room) Go to the old servers
Public IS, instances tab, remove everything except eventconfig_oldserver
I believe the last step has the effect of rehoming the folders to the
new server, since it's now the only replica?
regards
Paul

Start from the Home site and make the changes there. Do the replicas
first, allow 24 - 48 hours for directory information and the replicas to
do their things and then make the changes to the home server.

Conversation: Rehome all public folders - recommended method?
Subject: Rehome all public folders - recommended method?
Hi All,
Would someone just confirm for me the suggested method to replicate all
public folders to a new server, and once replication is complete the
rehome the folders (server migration).
I'm a little unsure whether it's better, but more tedious to do it using
the Public Folders section of Exchange Admin and recurse it, or if it's
better to do it using the Public Store properties on the new server?
The aim is to rehome the existing folders, and have all new folders
automagically be created on the new server.
regards,
Paul
