Add replicas for SERVER01, SERVER02 to all sub folders of \COMMUNICATIONS\PR
.\Add-PFReplica.ps1 -ServersToAdd SERVER01,SERVER02 -PublicFolderServer SERVER01 -TopPublicFolder "\COMMUNICATIONS\PR"
The script is intended to work with legacy public folders on Exchange Server 2007 and Exchange Server 2010.
