How to Suspend Public Folder Content Replication

Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 will reach end of support on April 11, 2017. To stay supported, you will need to upgrade. For more information, see Resources to help you upgrade your Office 2007 servers and clients.

 

Applies to: Exchange Server 2007, Exchange Server 2007 SP1, Exchange Server 2007 SP2, Exchange Server 2007 SP3

This topic explains how to use the Exchange Management Shell to suspend the replication of public folder content.

Note

Suspending public folder replication applies only to content replication. Hierarchical replication will continue normally.

If you experience a configuration error pertaining to the replication of the public folder hierarchy, you must suspend the replication of public folder content and correct the error. You can resume the replication of public folder content after you have fixed the error, and then let the change replicate throughout the public folder hierarchy. For more information about how to resume public folder replication, see How to Resume Public Folder Content Replication.

Note

You cannot use the Exchange Management Console to perform this procedure.
