RE: public folder replicas and redundancy

Check the properties of the storage group and see where the default public folder is 
located.

Subject: public folder replicas and redundancy


2 Exchange servers. Exchange 2000 sp3, Windows 2000 SP3.

Started out with one Exchange server, ServerA. ServerA contains a complete copy of the 
public store as well as the mailbox store. ServerB was brought online a short time ago 
because ServerA is running low on disk space and horsepower, so we’re hoping to move 
to ServerB.

Using System Manager I configured all our public folders to replicate to ServerB. I 
thought that this would mean that ServerB would then carry the load of public folder 
requests, should the public store on ServerA not be available. This however doesn’t 
appear to be the case. If I dismount the public store on ServerA, and then try to 
access the public folders, I get an angry “unable to display the folder 
(ServerA).” 

Does ServerA need to be turned off altogether for B to answer requests for the public 
folders? Or is there just something I missed somewhere in setting this up. I know in 
Exchange 5.5 there was the concept of folder “homing” but that’s gone now 
isn’t it?  All I did was use ESM to go to the top level public folders, set up the 
replication, and then propagated it down. The pub store size on ServerB is indeed 
large, suggesting that all the data is there…but it’s just not answering the 
bell…

Thanks I advance.

Well we did that...but there's no option for default public folder...both systems are 
Exchange 2000...

RE: public folder replicas and redundancy

Okay.. I made the assumption that Server A and Server B were in the same routing 
group? Are they? If not, does the connector that goes between the two routing groups 
allow referrals across the connector?

John-

Thanks for the help. Yeah the A and B are both in the same routing group...they are in 
the same site. ServerA is right now the master, and B is a member. 

We moved a user's mailbox from ServerA to ServerB. Now that user on ServerB can access 
public folders when the public store on ServerA is unavailable, and all the users 
who's mailboxes are on ServerA still cannot.

Okay. Go to the individual mailbox stores (not the storage group) on Server A.
Open the properties page and set the Default Public folder store to Server B.
