Public folders pointing to another location

[Tricky100]

Guys,

I have reached the infamous 16gb limit on my Exchange 5.5 server, We have huge public folders that i want to move onto another server we have, i copy them as .pst's across but how do i get the public folder to point to that location?
thanks for any help

If you have two Exchange servers, why not share the public folders across both PUB stores? Each store can be 16GB, so with 2 servers you've got a total of 32GB PRIV and 32GB PUB. You can move a PF by creating a replica on the second server (wait for replication), then rehome it on the second server (wait for replication), and then remove the replica from the original server.

The public folder hierarchy doesn't care which server folders are on - even if the servers are in different sites, you can create public folder affinities and allow your users access to the PFs on multiple servers.
