How to Replicate Public Folder Data Manually

  • Article

 

If you want to ensure that changes to public folders replicate without waiting for the normal replication interval, you can start replication manually.

Before You Begin

Be aware that manual replication only affects changes that should already have replicated at least one time. Changes that were made after the last replication message was sent are not included.

Procedure

How to replicate public folder data manually

  • Use the following commands:

    • Send Hierarchy

      This command is available on the Action menu in Exchange System Manager for public folder trees, for individual public folders that have subfolders, or for public folder stores. This command replicates hierarchy changes (including changes in the tree structure or changes in folder properties).

    • Send Contents

      This command is available on the Action menu in Exchange System Manager for individual public folders.

      When you use these commands, Exchange Server 2003 prompts you to select one or more source and target servers, and to specify a range of changes to replicate. The range of changes to replicate starts the number of days in the past that you specify and ends at the last replication cycle. For example, you can replicate all changes made over the past two days, except for any changes made since the last replication cycle.
