System folder/pf replication

[Tafresh33]

I am the new IT guy for our company and part of my task it to finish migration of Exchange 5.5 to Exchange 2003.

Migration had started 3 years ago and for some reason didn’t go forward at the time. However, from what I can see all mailboxes with exception of only a hand full such as Mailservice, Exchange 5.5 system attendant and a couple for NAV (Norton Anti virus) mailboxes have been moved correctly.
Also from what I have heard the last IT person tried to replicate Public Folders by setting up the Exchange 2003 as a replica of Exchange 5.5. Basically by looking at properties of every public folder we can see its replication partner being the EXCH 5.5. So, we have a copy of public folders on both servers.

My question is, How can I remove the replication partner on all public folders. We have about 200 hundred of them. It will take a day or 2 for that.
I thought about PFMigrate but not about the outcome every document says about replicating but non talks about an already replicated PF.

Also, how can I be sure if has migrated system folders?

Many thanks in advance.

PFMigrate will work just fine for you here, if you're comfortable with the syntax. It can be run to replicate folders, just to sanity-check that everything is replicated.

It also has a switch that should provide the same functionality as 'Move All Replicas' in Exchange2003 SP2 and remove the replicas from the old servers.

Jim thank you

I was worried that PFMigrate would delete the Actual Public folders on 5.5
