Moved Public Folders - 4 System Folders wont Remove

I have moved Public Folders from one Exchange 2007 Server to another Exchange 2007 Server using the ./movereplicas script. All Folders have replicated ok, but on the old server which I want to decomission I am unable to remove the public
folder DB because it says not all folders have replicated.
If I run Get-publicfolderstatistics on both servers I am left with 4 system folders on the old server. These seem to have replicated across to the new server ok - the item count is higher on the new server.
I have tried running the script again, but these 4 folders never get removed. The folders are OAB, Store Events which have an item count of 0 on both serversthese two are higher on the new Public Folder DB.
Hope someone can advise
Thanks
Dave

Hi,
If they're system folders you don't need, like those other than SCHEDULE+ FREE BUSY, OFFLINE ADDRESS BOOK and EFORMS REGISTRY (if you use Organizational Forms), then you can delete them.
Based on the description, it looks like the four system folders have replicas on another Exchange 2007 server, you can just delete these system folders.

Exchange 2003 - 2010. Moving public folders one at a time

Hi all,
I'm in the process of decomisioning our old Exchange 2003 server (long overdue after what has been a relativly smooth and trouble free transition to 2010). As the first step in the decomisioning process, I'm looking to move the public folders from the 2003
box to the 2010 box. From my understanding there are a couple of ways to achieve this (please correct me if I'm wrong). The first is to add the Exchange 2010 server as a new replication partner, allow for replication of the PFs to occur, and then remove the
2003 partner from the replication partnership. The other option is to use MoveAllReplicas.ps1.
I opted for the first option, but the problem I have is that the initial replication process started to generate a very large number of transaction logs on the Exchange 2010 server, to the point I was slightly conccerned I was going to run out of space on
the volume (our server is backed up nightly at which point the transaction logs are normally flushed).Whilst I know I could potentially increase the size of the volume or turn on cicular logging for the duration of the migration (neither of which is appealing
as it will involve down time), I was wondering if there was a way to move a smaller set of Public folders one at a time with a powershell command, or is it an all or nothing operation? My other option may be to replicate a small subset of folders everyday,
but that just a little painful as there are a large number of child folders with in the structure. Any other suggestions welcome!
Many thanks,
Rob

Hi,
If your Public Folder Database is large, you can use tool like Exfolders or ESM to add replica folder by folder.

Moving public folders from exchange 2003 to exchange 2010 error while moving replicas

Dear All,
i am in the process of migrating from Microsoft Exchange 2003 to Exchange 2010,
i am done with moving all the mailboxes 300 mailbox almost with a 1.5 TB DB with no issues
when i tried all the processes, procedures, instructions and forums to move the public folder or
to use move all replicas from Exchange 2003 to Exchange 2010 i always get errors , now when i try
to open PF Management console from the exchange 2010 server i get it but it is disconnected
then i can choose to coneect to the new server name EXCHANGE2010 with no issues
when i try to expand the default folder and system folder i get the following error.
OAB is set on the new server as default.
when i try to add replica using power shell i get this error:

i will be thankful for any assistant.
PF DB is arounf 90 GB with alot of public folders and sub-folders. around 60 mail PF and too many subfolders.

First and the most important thing you need to do is, upgrade exchange 2010 to SP2 and RU5.
Exchange 2010 RTM support is long gone.

Problems moving public folders for 2k3 to 2k7 migration

Hello,
i'm having problems with moving the public folder from the 2k3 to 2k7, following the steps i've found on mig docs and googling for this issue and i cant seem to solve it, letme detail:
There are only 3 user created public folders, all with contacts, they weight less than a MB combined.
So first thing, iin E2k3 ESM i right click the public folder store and select "move all replicas", it works succesfully.
if i expand the pf store and check replicas i see a ton of system folders with 2 replicas.
i also check every user folder, change the replication to always and urgent and resend changes/synch content from 2k3 to 2k7
Now according to migration documents the "pf instances" should empty by itself after some time....
well it's been a day and in fact i see more items than before on the 2k3, if i expand the instances on the 2k7 i see 4/5 folders, none of the user ones!.
I also ran the moveallreplicas.ps1 script.
if i run Get-publicfolder -recurse |fl name,replicas i only get:
Name : IPM_SUBTREE
Replicas : {}the next step is apparantely to move the public folder "folder" itself from the 2k3 admin group to the 2k7, i can do that and it gives no error but i'm worried that if i decommision the 2k3 that it will all fail horribly.
¿whats going on, how can i move this thing for once?

Hi,
Make sure you have added the Exchange 2007 in the Replication tab list of all folders in Exchange Server 2003.
In Exchange 2003, please increase the logging level to Maximum on the diagnostic logging categories: Replication Incoming Messages and Replication Outgoing Messages.
Here is a related article which can help you for your reference.

Exchange 2003 to Exchange 2010 Public Folders

Hi Gurus, I’m in the process of moving public folders from Exch03 to Exch2010 and I have some clarifications before I proceed with this task. As I have understood the replication process between public folders working in a multi-master environment, I still
need some deep understanding. Okay, the task is to ensure that we don’t lose any PF when I remove the last Exch03 where there’s a lot of PF residing. From my understanding, these PFs found at Exch03 are only replicas from Exch2010. From testing I can verify
that the Outlook clients are looking at Exch2010. The way I tested this is by creating a test PF from Outlook and it did reflected on Exch2010 PF. Looking Exch03 for a couple of days, the test PF never reflected there so I'm just just assuming that there's
no replication happening between Exch2010 and Exch2010.
Please verify on this. Does it mean that Exch2010 is not replicating to Exch03?
If yes, if I remove the PFs from Exch2003 without moving the replicas first to Exch2010, like plainly removing them for decommission, will that delete/remove the PFs on Exch2010?
I have a feeling that it don’t because the PFs I’m creating/deleting at Exch03 are all replicas and I don't see any of the PFs that I deleted at Exch03 to also get deleted at Exch2010. More likely the PFs I'm creating at Exch2010 are not replication across
to Exch03 and therefore removing these PFs at Exch03 should not affect the PFs at Exch2010.
Please confirm on this before I proceed.
Note that I've already taken copy of these Exchange servers because these are all VMs.
Thanks....

Hi,
When you add Exchange 2010 to the replica list on Exchange 2003 server, it will replicate the Exchange 2003 Public Folder hierarchy and content to Exchange 2010, not from Exchange 2010 to Exchange 2003.
You can remove public folders on Exchange 2003 without affecting the public folders which have been replicated to Exchange 2010.
Before you decide to remove Exchange 2003 server, I recommend you put the Exchange 2003 server offline temporarily to check if Exchange 2010 works well.

Can you help me

Hi,
Please use the Get-PublicFolderStatistics command to check result.
Please disable this affected public folder and re-enable it to check result.
Please create a new public folder and mail-enable it, then send message to this new folder to check result.

Exchange 2013 User cannot view public folders

Good morning,
User was able to view public folders, then lost connection to public folders. User cannot view public folders in OWA.
Verified proper permissions. No changes have been made to the user account in AD, exchange.

Did you do a fresh install of Exchange, meaning there was no version of Exchange installed previously? If not, have you moved Public Folders over to Exchange 2013 yet? If the answer to this question is no, then you will not be able to view Public
Folders in OWA until they are migrated over Exchange 2013.

Remove Public Folders

I have two mailbox sever in our environment, a virtual EX2010 and physical EX2010. We had migrated from EX2003 to Virtual EX2010 including
Public folders. All the clients are using Outlook 2010 so we don’t need the public folders. All the mailbox have been moved to physical EX2010.
When I try to delete the system and default public folders, I get below error msg. I want to delete all the public and system folders and uninstall
the exchange server roll from the Virtual EX2010. How do I do that?

Hi,
I have read the article and i am removing the last  public
folder database from a Mailbox server. According to the article it says “you must first move the data within the public folder database to a public folder
database on another server and then remove the public folder database.”
I don't won’t to the public folder on a mailbox server so can i skip
this step?
I have already removed the data from the folders but when i try to remove the data from
the folder i get below error msg.
error: Cannot delete the object '\NON_IPM_SUBTREE\SCHEDULE+ FREE BUSY\EX:/o=XYZ Organization/ou=Exchange Administrative Group
(FYDIBOHF23SPDLT)'. Please make sure that you specified the correct identity and that you have the correct permissions to delete it.
I have never done this before that’s why need help.
Thank you
for your patience while i hustle to get this work done
Much appreciated

Exchange 2010 System Public Folders trying to replicate to decommissioned Exchange 2003

I was checking the mail queue on Exchange 2010 and noticed several hundred messages in retry. Looking at the messages I found that they were all destined for an old 2003 exchange that has been decommissioned. I looked at the System Public Folders and found
replication is set up on "events root, OWAScatchpad, SchemaRoot, and Store Events. They are set to replicate to the old mail server. When I try to remove the old server from replication it gives me an error;
Microsoft Exchange Error
The following error(s) occurred while saving changes:
Set-PublicFolder
Failed
Error:
You must specify a value with the Replicas parameter.
OK
Not sure where to go with this error. Could someone point me in the right direction?
Thank you,
Wade Harris

Hi,
For this issue, I recommend you add an Exchange 2010 public folder database to the replica list and then remove Exchange 2003 server from this list to check result.
I tested in my lab, and I got the same error with yours, we need to keep at least one public folder database in the replica list.
Best regards,

Removing Exchange 2003 Public Folders

I am in the process of removing public folders from the old 2003 environment after upgrading to Exchange 2010. The Exchange 2010 is set as a replica and everything seems to have transferred over. What are my steps from here? I have 5 Exchange
2003 boxes to remove. I have read a few guides and believe my last step is to use the script "MoveAllReplicas"? Is there anything special I have to do to remove the last 2003 PF database? Is there a "master copy" which
needs ported to 2010?
Thank you.

Hi Ian,
As a last step, after you confirmed that all the PF have been replicated to the Exchange 2010, you can move all replicas from Exchange 2003 to Exchange 2010. The "move all replicas" will actually remove the Exchange
2003 replicas.
Move the public folder replicas to another server:
To move all Exchange 2003 replicas to Exchange 2010, which will actually remove the Exchange 2003 replicas:
From the Exchange 2010 server:
.\MoveAllReplicas.ps1 -Server "Exchange 2003 Server" -NewServer "Exchange 2010 Server"
http://blogs.technet.com/b/agobbi/archive/2010/08/04/how-to-move-public-folder-from-exchange-2003-to-exchagne-2010.aspx
http://exchangeserverpro.com/migrate-public-folders-from-exchange-2003-to-exchange-server-2010/
When the public folder instances displays an empty list the operation has completed.
Associate mailbox databases with another public folder database
If any mailbox databases are associated with the public folder database that is to be removed, you must configure another public folder database as their default public folder database.
1. Identify all mailbox databases that use the public folder database that you want to remove as their default public folder database.
2. Use Exchange Management Console to select another public folder database as the default public folder database for the mailbox databases that you identified in Step 1.
3. Repeat Step 2 for all mailbox databases identified in Step 1.
Once moved you can, dismount the PF databases on Ex2003 and verify all are working from 2010.
Remove the PF database and delete the database files manually
1. Now you are ready to remove your Public folder database. To remove a public folder database click on your Public folder database and under Actions select "Remove":
2. You get a prompt to confirm your Action.
3. A warning appears, indicating that the database was removed and reminding you to manually remove the database file.
4. Browse to the folder specified in the Warning message and delete the .edb file from the folder.

Removing Public Folders after migration from Exchange 2007 to Exchange 2013

Recently we migrated from Exchange 2007 to Exchange 2013. We did not migrate Public Folders and are retiring them from Exchange altogether. I shut Exchange 2007 off for a couple of weeks to ensure 2013 functions properly and it does so we're
ready to decommission Exchange 2007. I was able to remove all the mailbox databases without a glitch. Using the EMC I click to remove the Public Folder database from Exchange 2007 and get the following message:
Error: The public folder database "server\storage group - Public Folders\ Public Folder Database" contains folder replicas. Before deleting the public folder database, remove the folders or move the replicas to another public folder database.
Any help appreciated.

Hi Terry,
If you run the following command does it come back with any public folders?
Get-PublicFolderStatistics -Server "SERVERNAME" | fl
If nothing comes back you can follow this guide to manually remove the public folder database (at your own risk) http://haythamalex.wordpress.com/2011/11/24/how-to-force-exchange-server-public-folder-removal/
Cheers,
Jack
I get alot of output from that command.

Any possibility to restore Public Folders when priv1.edb priv1.stm and pub1.edb pub1.stm files was moved?

Hello, good people
(I am sorry for my english)
introduction:
MS Server 2003, Exchange 2003, Eset Endpoint Protection.
We ned some free space on hdd.
taken steps:
1. Dismounted public and private stores
2. priv1.edb priv1.stm pub1.edb pub1.stm files moved to Z:\post (Z: - network drive on NAS)
3. was created new private an public sores.
4. mounted
results:
1. Some strange behavior in email flow - messages stucks in local delivey queue, does not reaches recipients,ect.
2. Lost folder "tree" in Public folders - i mean, now there is only one folder - Internet Newsgroup
Question:
Is there any possbility to "restore" public folder ?
thanks a lot.

Hi I agree with Belinda if the issue is used size on the server perform an offline defrag on all the original DB.
Have a look here for how to:

You should maybe talk to your storage guy to see if your NAS is compliant with exchange:

If you use Exchange 2003 incorrectly with a network-attached storage product, you may experience data loss, including a total loss of the Exchange database files.

Exchange 2010 - Decommissioning Exchange 2007 Coexistence and Removal of Public Folders

We are about to decommission exchange 2007, currently in coexistence with Exchange 2010.
We do not want to use ANY public folders in exchange 2010 going forward. Will do this after decom of 2007:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd876883(v=exchg.141).aspx
I see this in the outlook connection status in outlook:
I have changed all Exchange 2010 mailbox databases to use a temporary 2010 public folders db named "public1" so that it is not communicating with the 2007 mailbox virtual server. However, the exact same connection status appears after I changed
the 2010 mailbox DBs to use a 2010 public folder db instead of the old 2007.
Question is, is it safe to decom the 2007 environment now? Is it normal to still have a connection to 2007 in "connection status" in outlook when the users mailbox is on a 2010 mailbox db? Is this connection related to public folders or something
else that needs modified before decom?
Thanks,
Josh

So, that wasn't the answer. I switched the Public folder DB on each mailbox database to a exchange 2010 server, PF DB, but hadn't actually moved any data from 2007 to 2010.
I didnt realize this is needed when we don't use public folders except for free-busy, default, etc.
What is the correct way to move the default public folders to a 2010 public folder?
I'm using the below URL as a template to migrate this info to a 2010 PF db.
https://www.simple-talk.com/sysadmin/exchange/upgrade-from-exchange-2007-to-exchange-2010---part-ii/
"The user Public Folders then need to be replicated to the Exchange 2010 Public Folder database as well. It is possible to manually configure
all Public Folders with a new replication partner, but it’s better to use PowerShell scripts that Microsoft delivers with Exchange Server 2010. Open the Exchange Management Shell and navigate to the Scripts directory
by entering the CD $ExScripts command,
and execute the following script:
AddReplicaToPFRecursive.ps1 -Server 2007MBX -TopPublicFolder "\"
-ServerToAdd 2010MBX"
My question is, do I have to do this "3rd step" since I don't think i have any custom "user public folders". Is this the user's free busy that I have to migrate, or is this author referring to custom PF db info?
Do I have to have public folders for free-busy and default exchange services at all in 2010?

Migrating Public folders Fatal error MapiExceptionNoReplicaAvailable

I am trying to migrate our public folders from our old 2010 server to the new 2013 one. I have created the folders (one) as per instructions and can see the structure under the name "Public" with "Mailbox1" in ecp but when I run the command
to migrate and run the check I see the error referred to above.
The full output from the get-statistics command is

We only use one or our existing public folders and I'm wondering about simply unlocking the structure and restoring the emails from Veeam backup. I need to get rid of the old exchange server for disk space. However I'd really like to get the
migration done properly in case we turn out to need some further stuff.
Is there any way to debug this issue and get the migration done?
Many thanks

Hi Jay,
This issue occurs because there are some legacy system folders in the public folder database.
To resolve this issue, follow these steps:
Open the Public Folder Management Console.
Expand and then click System Public Folders so that it is highlighted and populates the Result pane.
Right-click schema-root and then select Remove.
Right-click all "OWAscratchpad" entries and then select Remove.
Migrate public folders to Exchange Server 2013. For more information about how to do this, refer to the following Microsoft TechNet article:
Migrate public folders to Exchange 2013 from previous versions
More details in the following KB:
Cannot replicate public folder to Exchange Server 2013

Hope it is helpful
Thanks
