Hi,
I am in the process of upgrading from Exchange 2003 to 2010 and may have hit a snag that I haven't found an answer for.
I have been following the steps outlined in this article http://www.petenetlive.com/KB/Article/0000234.htm and have made it to step 5, the "Do Nothing" stage. So far I haven't had any real issues and everything seems to be working correctly.
After I had done nothing for a few days and thinking that everything should now be on the new server I decided to shutdown the old server for a few days to verify that nothing was overlooked (to see if anything breaks). I didn't expect anyone to notice. After about half a day I had a few users with an error in outlook (2003) "Task 'Microsoft Exchange Server' reported error (0x8004010F) : 'The operation failed. An object could not be found.'".
Would this be expected as I have not officially removed the old server? All of my users are correctly pointing to the new server.
Now I'm worried that I have an issue and shouldn't progress to Step 6 - Decommission and remove Exchange 2003.
Also, just in case it is related, I had a look at the next step and all of my public folders are listing as In Sync but my Schedule+ Free Busy is listing Local Modified on the new ex2010 server. I haven't found a thread that satisfactorily explains what to do to correct this (if it is actually an issue)
Any guidance is gratefully received
Ian
