Migrate public folders from Exchange 2000 to Exchange 2003

Hi,

Can anyone suggest the best way to Migrate public folders from Exchange 2000 to the new server having Exchange 2003.

we tried exporting to a pst file and importing it and this seems to take a long time. Any other better ways?

Thanks in advance!

Go into the Exchange 2003 system manager and specify itself as a replication partner under the properties of each public folder. Let it take care of the migration for you. Once replication has taken place remove the 2000 server from the replication partner list.

Thanks for the reply.

In the properties->Replication tab, we are unable to add our new server using Add button. Should we do some other settings for this?

Thanks.
