I'm migrating from Exchange 2003 to 2013 using Exchange 2010 as an intermediate server. I have already moved all the mailboxes and really want to decommission the 2003 server so I can get started installing 2013.
I want to make sure that all public system folders have been replicated. The organization doesn't use public folders, also no Outlook 2003 clients, but I read that all replicas must be moved and then removed before the server is decommissioned. I'm just not sure if all replicas were put into place. I am going to paste the out put of the Get-PublicFolder -recurse \non_ipm_subtree |fl name, replicas command. There are some folders that do not have replicas and I'm not sure if that is normal or not.
