Thanks for the information. I found this post after a long search. Errors during installation were ignored per a post on another site and I believe that led to the connector not ever getting created. You saved me a huge headache.

We did select and existing Exchange 2000 Server during the installation process, but still get the error? The Outlook client on the Exchange 2007 server gets "The set of folders could not be open" message each time they click on the Public Folders area. Any suggestions

Any help will be surely appreciated...

thanks

You really need to spell 'supportability' with quote marks around it. Migrating (or, as we're calling it now, transitioning' from Exchange 2003 to 2007, particularly when the site has previously been upgraded from Exchange 5.5, is a freaking nightmare. It's a tossup whether it's better to tell the users the server crashed, and we need to install Exchange 2007 from scratch.

Hello, I have exactly the issue as described by Paul. I can send messges from 2007 to 2003 but not vice versa. Also the RGC was created during the installation and I can see all the mails in queue on Exchange 2003 Server. How can I get the RGC work from 2003 to 2007, can anyone help? Once RGC works, the PF replication should happen and the transition can be smooth.

Guys, anyone who can help me with this problem. I've been trying a lot of possible solutions but still ends up with no replication at all.

I'm receiving a lot of errors and replication warnings.

Also, I can email from Exchange 2007 to Exchange 2003 but not vice versa. I'm almost ground zero on this issue.

Thanks!

Hi all,

I've alreay found a solution for this problem. The smart host configured in Exchange 2000 was the caused of the problem. After removing it and setting up an SMTp connector instead, email sending worked fine. After that, I recreate a public folder database on exchange 2007 and restart the replication.

Hi,

I have another problem, anyone.. please help. I am about to decommission the old Microsoft Exchange 2000 Server after I have replicated the public folders. When we proceed in deleting the public folder in the Exch2k, all of a sudden, all replicated public folders cannot be viewed. You can see that the items are there but you cannot view it, anyone who knows the root cause of this problem. BTW, I have deleted first the Routing group Connectors before deleting the Public Folder store, is it possible it was the caused of the problem.

Anyone here.. please help.

Thanks!
