Public Folder Replication Troubleshooting - Part 2: Troubleshooting the Replication of Existing Data
I'M struggling to get a solution for one of my Exchange 5.5 public folder server replication problem
this server hosts around 80% of our organization PF's and has around 160GB of database size , server had a crash during end of december, and we used online back to restore,, Directory, Priv.edb and PUB.edb
since then server stopped accepting replication from other server, and also no more replication messages send out from this server
while tracking replication messages from a remote server i could see that message is delivered to this ill server's information store, but outlook is not displaying any data on PF's
tracking messages generated from ill server does not show that any message is generated from this server
no errors or warnings are displayed in event log even after enabling all the necessary diag log
just for testing i have reseted pub and priv.edb, i could see that replication refill is happening (waited only for some time, and saw that hierarchy is getting populated )
email send to public folder email address is delivering properly, so internal communication is fine
since i have replica of all these folders in exchange 2003, All Exchange 5.5 server were pointed to use exchange 2003 as the PF server, so data till 21st of December 2005 is available, but looking for a solution to extract data that are changed from 21st of december to 21st of January 2006
not much help from Microsoft
any help will be much appriciated
