Question : Can I replicating all public folders at once?

We are migrating from Exchange 2003 to 2007, and have moved several mailboxes succesfully. But we have a public folder store with approximately 1000 folders. We want to replicate them to the 2007 server (without moving them first). I know by right-clicking the an individual folder, under properities, we can add a target replication server, but we don't want to have to do this for a thousand folders (and we are on a schedule).  We'd like to replicate them first, and see them on the 2007 server before we delete them from the 2003 server. But-- I can't seem to find a way to process all the folders at once. Is this possible?   Thank you!

Answer : Can I replicating all public folders at once?

The easiest thing to fix this is to first download PFDAVAdmin from Microsoft.
Run it, connect to the Exchange 2003 server, public folders then follow the following steps. Read all the steps first please!

1. Highlight Public Folders
2. Select the Tools/Export Replica Lists item
3. Choose Selected folder and subfolders, choose a file name in an easy to remember location
4. Open the resulting tab delimited file with Excel (or text editor that can detect tabs)
5. Each row contains a command (setreplicas), the folder path, the operation (replace), a list of servers followed by a No in the last column. Select the entire No column and move it right one column.
6. Enter the name of the new server in the newly freed up column space. Copy it to all rows.
7. Save the file (leave it as txt)
8. go back to PFDAVADmin, ensure Public Folders are still highlighted.
9. Select Tools/Import from the menu.
10. Select your modified replicas file and reimport it.
All Done.

A POSSIBLE GOTCHA!!!
If some folders are not replicated to all servers, then their replica list will be shorter, be cognizant of that because the last entry on each line must be that No. If this is the cause, then I would move the first server over and put the new server as the first server on each folder.
