Ok - this is what happened.
I was following along in MS KB #316886, and I was on page 5 where it talks
about the migration of Public Folders and Mailboxes.
What I did was (I didn't read the directions carefully, I know) I went to
move the Public Folders to the new 2003 Exchange server.
I went to the 5.5 Admin program, and went to the Public Folder that I wanted
to move, and I went to Properties, and the Replicas Tab. I misunderstood
the directions.
So basically, how it was set up was:
BEFORE:
Servers: Replicate Folders To:
EXCH3 EXCHANG
EXCH2K3
AFTER:
Servers: Replicate Folders To:
EXCH3 EXCH2K3
EXCHANG
So, as you can see, I replaced the 5.5 Server with the new 2003 Exchange
Server. I understand what I should have done was:
Servers: Replicate Folders To:
EXCH3 EXCH2K3
EXCHANG
Until those two servers had a chance to replicate, and move the EXCHANG back
over to the Servers area. Now, when I use my Outlook client to view the
public folders, I get the error:
"Unable to display folders. You do not have sufficient permissions to
perform this operation on this object. See the folder contact of your
system admin.."
I had 6 Public Folders I did this too, and only 1 of them works. In fact,
when I go the Public Folder Resources on the server (In the 5.5 Admin
program) I see that the Total K: and Total # of Items are both 0.
So, are they gone for good?
Thanks!
