All, I've been working with PFs in my UK site still - I *think* I've got the problems solved, but I'm not sure. I went through the PF heirarchy on the 5.5 server in the site, and at the top level forced down (from the 5.5 Administrator on the 5.5 box) permissions and replicas (to the new e2k3 box) and at the same time rehomed all of the PFs to the new e2k3 box, and removed the replica from the 5.5 box. That seems to have worked.
However, I'm now seeing the queues from the US e2k3 server piling up messages to the 5.5 servers in US, UK and AU offices, and the UK office has complained that emails aren't coming in from anywhere outside their office. I expect the AU office will be complaining as well, since I don't detect my test messages getting there. The AU office only has a 5.5 server, in its own local NT4 domain, the UK office has both 5.5 and e2k3, although the UK e2k3 box is in the corporate domain, and the UK 5.5 box is in the local UK NT4 domain. The US office also has both an e2k3 and 5.5 server, both in the same domain. I am working with eventid.net for interpreting what's in the event logs, but am not getting anywhere. For instance, I'm getting an LDAP error (eventid 8026, source MSADC, category LDAP Operations), but it's for the UK DC, not for the UK 5.5 box, and neither eventid.net and support.microsoft.com have anything to say about that. I'm about ready to call MSFT support and work through this with them, but want to hear any words of advice I can get here before I do that.
