APPLIES TO

This article was previously published under Q196180

SYMPTOMS

When running the Exchange Server 5.5 Move Server Wizard, the following message appears on the screen:
System folders are homed on the server being moved. Rehome the system
folders and run the wizard again.

CAUSE

If the systems folders are homed on the server being moved, and there are no replicas of the system folders on other servers in the site, this error will occur. It will not occur if the server being moved is the last server in the site.

WORKAROUND

Add a replica of each system folder to another server in the site. Another option is to rehome the system folders to another server in the site.
