Create root level public folders in the target Exchange
organization
?
Exchsync requires that the root level folders exit
before you can setup replication.
1)
Logon to a Workstation with Outlook as the source
PFRepl account
2)
Open up Outlook and the PFRepl account against the source
Exchange server
?
This should be done on a different system than the
Exchange servers. Outlook should NOT be installed on an Exchange
server.
3)
Extract Files.ZIP to the local system
4)
Run ?CreatePFs.vbs? from the Scripts directory where the ZIP
was extracted
?
CreatePFs.vbs is included in the ZIP with this article
under the Scripts directory. This script will export all public folders
to a file, PFolders.txt. It will also recreate these public folders.
You can create the public folders manually in the target Exchange org if
you wish but it must be done with Outlook. This is due to the fact that
ESM can only create Main and Post type public folders, you must use
Outlook to create folders that will contain contacts, calendars, tasks,
notes, etc.
A)
Choose Export
B)
Review PFolders.txt and remove any public folders you do not
wish to replicate to the new environment

target Exchange server

replicated from the source server (Publisher) to the target

that server. In other words, if some public folders are only
replicated to a single server then there needs to be a separate
session file for each server that host non-replicated public
folders.
