Can someone answer me this question because there does not seem to be much
clarity about it on the internet.

I am preparing to rebuild my mail server (E2K3 SP2 on W2K3 SP2) and
therefore transfer mailboxes and public folders to a temporary server. I am
testing rehoming these public folders to the temp server and seem to be
having mostly success except for this. After I have replicated contents and
am happy that all contents are appearing in both server's Public Folder
stores, I check the replication tab for that Public Folder and it shows the
current server as 'in sync' and the temp server as 'Local Modified'.

I then removed the current server from the 'Replicate content to these
public stores' list in the replication tab, so now this folder should be
rehomed and this is reflected in the public folder store of the current
server, ie: that folder has gone. However the replication details still show
both servers as described above. Now why is this and should I be concerned?
Should I wait for the rep status to show only the rehomed server before I am
safe to take down the current server?

Thanks

to add to this,

when i look at replication details from the temp server it says the
opposite, that the temp server is 'in'sync' and the current server is 'local
modified'.
