Hello, You're catching up on List posts. :-)
I ended up dragging a message into every "un-synced" folder on the Source server. With a list of every "bad" PF, it was probably only a couple seconds per folder to drag and drop. "Backfill" then fired off within an hour or so and everything was fine. If we were at 9,000 PFs we might have accidentally suffered and unrecoverable disaster on the PF store. Especially if it was a sunny day outside. :-) Thank you, Brent -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Dumke, Jane Posted At: Monday, October 13, 2003 1:31 PM Posted To: MS Exchange List Conversation: A new post in every Public Folder, or how to force a backfill ... Subject: RE: A new post in every Public Folder, or how to force a backfill ... I found that the only way I could get this done on our site was to dump a listing of the PFs and the # of items in each one for each server, pull them up side by side in Excel and figure out which server had the more complete copy. Then I removed the replica off the incomplete server, and then rereplicated. Horrendous job with 9000+ PFs, but it worked to get them back in sync.

Hello, E2K (Source & Target): SP3+September'03 Rollup, Scanmail 6.1, native OS: w2K, SP3 + all critical fixes , native I'm doing the Ed Crowley Server move. I've got 400 of 1500 Public Folders that haven't replicated completely. It has been over 2 weeks. One thing that seems to force a backfill on a PF is to put a new message/post into the PF. It then seems to figure out it's not up to date and a backfill is kicked off that evening. Most of these PFs do not have an Email address, and are not visible to the Address Book. Any tips on how to send a message to a large number of such folders, or how to force a backfill on them? Notes: -Turning off virus scanning on the Public Folders a week or so ago improved things greatly. -PFs not in sync vary between no messages to just a couple messages off. -No size restrictions on PFs or SMTP. -Active PFs (like this list at 40,000+ messages) sync up just fine. -Source and Target Servers are in the same Server room, plugged into the same Switch. -Hierarchy came across just fine. Just message content has problems. I've done: -ISINTEG and Defrag for Source PF store. -Checked that both Public Folder Stores have "proxy addresses" set (Q286356) -On the top level folders set "propagate settings" of Replicas, Replication message priority, and Replication Schedule. Replication Interval is: "always run", and Replication message priority is: "urgent". With logging turned up I get a lot of these: ===================== Event Type: Error Event Source: MSExchangeIS Public Store Event Category: Replication Errors Event ID: 3093 Date: 9/2/2003 Time: 7:41:51 PM User: N/A Computer: EXCHANGE Description: Error -2147221233 reading property 0x674b0014 on object type tbtMsgFolder from database "First Storage Group\Public Information Store (EXCHANGE)". ========================== Thanks, Brent _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Web Interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/cgi-bin/lyris.pl?enter=exchange&text_mode=&; lang=english To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Web Interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/cgi-bin/lyris.pl?enter=exchange&text_mode=&; lang=english To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Web Interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/cgi-bin/lyris.pl?enter=exchange&text_mode=&lang=english To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
