XADM: Public Information Store Does Not Exist After You Run the Move Server Wizard (271653)

MORE INFORMATION

In some cases, if you use the Microsoft Exchange Server Move Server Wizard to move a server to a different site, a public information store object may not exist on the server. If an Exchange Server computer already exists in the site where you want to move the server, you cannot create a public information store object on the Exchange Server computer. When you create a new site by using the Move Server Wizard, if this site is the first Exchange Server computer in a site, the Move Server Wizard automatically creates a new public information store on the Exchange Server computer. This behavior is by design.

To create a public information store on an Exchange Server computer that does not have a public information store object:

1. Start the Microsoft Exchange Server Administrator program.
2. Click the server that you want to create a public information store on.
3. On the File menu, click New, click Other, click Information Store, and then click Public Information Store.
4. Quit the Administrator program, and then re-open it to view the new public information store.
