This question concerns two Exchange 2007 servers in two different domains in the same forest, exch03 and mail01. exch03 is being migrated to Exchange 2013, but mail01 is not being migrated.
We want to delete ALL public folders on exch03 rather than migrating them.
The public folders causing me a problem are homed on mail01\Second Storage group\Public Folder Database. I have stopped public folder replication from both sides, exch03 & mail01. From the Exchange Management Console of exch03 I see the public folders listed on mail01, but not their contents. However, when I test by deleting one sub-folder on exch03, the corresponding folder on mail01 is removed.
For the purposes of this question, I need to know how to stop or break the public folder replication between the servers, and remove all instances of public folders on exch03, without affecting the actual folders on mail01.
