If Exchange Server rights, Windows NT user rights, or network connectivity prevent you from rehoming the public folder from the home site, have a Service Account Administrator in the destination site where the replica exists rehome the folder. This resolves the problem if the folder does not have the
Limit Administrative Access to Home Site option enabled. You do not need Exchange Server rights or Windows NT rights to the computer where the public folder is currently homed to pull the
Home Server attribute from the server and site where a replica exists.
For example, if an organization contains the following sites, servers, and public folders:
Site_A
Server_A
Folder_A
Site_B
Server_B
replica of Folder_A
From Server_B, you can rehome the replica of Folder_A to Server_B without any connectivity or rights to Server_A if the
Limit Administrative Access to Home Site option is not set on the folder.
