While the Edge server role is a great idea for Exchange 2007, it seems to lack some basic functionality. I had one client that wished to have the Outlook client safe sender lists aggregated automatically every day…so I cooked this up. Seems to work fine!
Schedule this to run every 24 hours to update user’s safe [...]
I have seen several broken instances of autodiscover and other Exchange 2007 web services.

I was working on migrating an exchange organization from old to new hardware.
And…
Public folders were are again difficult to work with…because replication is a funny animal.
Long story short – I used the following exchange cmdlets -
This will get the replicas moved automatically -
moveallreplicas.ps1 -server [old server] -newserver [new server]
Then wait for a long time!
Then run [...]
