XADM: MSW Allows Last Private Store Server to Move from Site

• Microsoft Exchange Server, version 5.5

SYMPTOMS

The Microsoft Exchange Server Move Server Wizard (MSW) will move the last Private Store server out of a site without warning. For example, if there were two servers in a site, and one server was a Public Store only server, and the other was a Private Store only server, when the MSW is used to move the Private Store only server out of the site, there will be no errors.

This leaves the old site without a server containing a Private Store. The problem is that mailboxes can be created in the old site without a home server. These mailboxes cannot be accessed by a client.

WORKAROUND

Customers with this problem need to add a Private Store to the server in the old site. After the Private Store is created, the Administrator can give the "stranded" mailboxes a home server.
