    Combining 2 x Public Folder DB's (different Exchange orgs)

    Hi Folks,

    We need to "absorb" an Exchange 2003 server into our existing Exchange org (Exchange 2007).

    The E2003 server comes from a separate Exchange org & AD setup. It is unlikely there will be any WAN connectivity between this server and our production network.

    We will most likely export the 20 or so mailboxes to PST files & import into new E2007 mailboxes.

    The public folders database (approx 60 GB) also needs to come across from E2003, and join existing public folder content in our current Exchange org.

    Not sure of the best way to combine the public folder DB's.

    Any ideas please?

    Thanks.

    I'm thinking we'll just export the PF's to PST files as well.

    The unicode limit for Outlook 2003/7 PST files is 20 GB, but we'll most likely do it in smaller chunks than that.
