9.4. Forcing Public Folder Replication

Problem

You've made changes to a public folder and you want those changes immediately replicated.

Solution

Using a graphical user interface

To force replication of a folder, do the following:

  1. Launch the Exchange System Manager (Exchange System Manager.msc).

  2. In the left pane, expand the appropriate Administrative Groups container; this should be the administrative group that contains the server that contains the replica whose contents you want to send. This will typically be the most up-to-date replica.

  3. Expand the Folders and Public Folders nodes.

  4. Right-click the folder you want and select Send Contents.

  5. When the Send Contents dialog box appears, select the source and target servers and fill in the number of days for which you want changes sent.

  6. Click OK.

  7. When the confirmation dialog box appears, click Yes.
