Public Folders no longer visible in Outlook 2007 with Exchange 2010

Hi all,
This is a perplexing problem because I though I had done everything right
About 1 year ago, I migrated my Exch2007 to Exch2010. The 2007 hardware was showing signs of quitting but it hung in there long enough to complete the migration.
All the user mailboxes, OWA, all other functions moved to the new server.
We use legacy Pub Folders and I manually created a Pub folder database and set up all the Pub folders to replicate from 2007 to the 2010. Once replication has taken place, I removed the 2007 replication partner on all the Pub and System folders in
prep for removing the 2007. But then I got busy and never finished removal.
Flash forward to a few weeks ago and the Exch 2007 box goes down hard, RAID containers gone, totally lost. I did not immediately worry since all was still fine with Outlook and Pub Folder Access.
I got around to cleaning things up and after verifying that there was nothing pointing to the old server including the OAB and any PF, I used ADSIedit to remove the reference to the old server in the Exchange Organization. Since then, although I still
see the PF object in the Mgmt Tool, Outlook does not see their existence. OWA cannot see them either.
I have read that GAL problems can cause this so I have recreated this object to see if will help.
Has anyone else faced this situation? I really need to get PF access back...

Here is an update:
When attempting to "Update" the Default Offline Address List, I get the following error:
Microsoft Exchange Error
Action 'Update' could not be performed on object 'Default Offline Address List'.
Default Offline Address List
Failed
Error:
Couldn't find database "Acteon.local/Configuration/Deleted Objects/Public Folder Database
DEL:9f2e6205-6d06-4cc8-91be-423df4248a4c". Make sure you have typed it correctly.
OK

Problems with a shared calendar using Outlook 2007 and Exchange 2010

Hello all,
We are having a problem with sharing a calendar using Outlook 2007 and Exchange 2010.
I will start with some background. I have just started my position with this company. I have been working with networks for awhile at the small business level. I have not had much production experience with exchange. There is only myself and my supervisor
who has inherited a midsized network which was built by five previous techs that are no longer with the company. Of course, the previous techs did not leave much documentation, so the original hows and whys for our system setup has been lost.
One of the managers has a calendar she shares with some of our users. I believe this calendar has been in use since sometime in 2006. A mailbox was created to hold this calendar to keep it separate from the managers calendar. I am not sure what version
of exchange they were using at that time, but I assume there was one or two migrations of it getting to its current state on our exchange 2010 server. At some point it was observed that the other workers she was sharing with were not able to access it correctly.
I am not fully sure what the original problem was (possibly some people not being able to see or connect to the calendar), but it was decided to give everyone who needed access to this calendar full access permissions through exchange. Correct me if I
am wrong, but I believe that gave everyone connected the ability to do anything with the calendar. Of course the manager was not happy about that. This is where I started working on the problem.
I removed everyone, except the manager who wants to control the calendar, from having "Full Access Permissions". This did have the effect of making some people just able to see the calendar and not make changes. Though there were others that were
able to connect to the calendar who I thought would not be able to. The manager that originally created the calendar did try to manage access to it through the Outlook interface, though it currently does not seem to be fully in effect.
So, to get to the point of what we are trying to do, is there a way to get the original manager back into control of the calendar though Outlook? It would be preferred to be able to keep the history of what they tracked of this calendar, so starting a new
one would be something we would rather avoid. After that, getting all of the users that need to connect to the calendar reconnected with the correct access permissions and making sure they are all synchronized.
I realize this is a big mess, and your help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Nigel,
How is the impact, just one user or all users, Outlook or OWA?
If just one user, it seems like an issue on the Outlook Client side.
Please trying to re-create new profile to fresh the caches.
Please runing Outlook under safe mode to avoid some AVs, add-ins and firewall.

Public folders stuck in Mail queue when replicating to Exchange 2010

This last weekend I installed Exchange 2010. Moved everyone over the same night to the new server. Mail flows in and out in ex 2010. The problem is I can't get the Public folders to replicate across. At the same time I found I can't send mail between the
two exchange servers. In the message Queue on the Ex 2007 box I see the public folders are just sitting there waiting to be sent but stuck. Along with my test emails.
I found an artical that talks about going into ADSIEdit and delete the old exchange 2003 empty server folder. Did that and email is still not flowing.
Servers are in the same AD same subnet. ex 2007 is installed on a 2003 box. ex 2010 is on 2008r2.
Thanks,
Steve

Hi vasdavidson,
For this issue, I suggest you follow these steps to troubleshoot the problem:
1.
Please paste the exact error you got in queue viewer.
2.
On Exchange 2007, (use telnet) send emails to Exchange 2010, then check whether it can receive email or not.
Thanks,
Evan

Move Public Folders Database to another Drive on same server - Exchange 2010

Hello all and thanks for your time and expertise.
We recently added a new drive to our Exchange 2010 server. I've moved all mailboxes including arbitration mailboxes to this new drive (and new mailbox database). I guess the last remaining step is to move the public folders databse to this new
drive. I know in the console I can move the database path and the log files path for the public folders database. Is this all I have to do to move my public folders successfully.
And then once everything is moved - can I safely remove the old mailbox database?
Your help and recommendations are greatly appreciated.

Mike,
I moved the public folders database and received the following message:
"Summary: 1 item(s). 1 succeeded, 0 failed.
Elapsed time: 00:00:16
Public Folders
Completed
Warning:
The task completed successfully, but the database "Public Folders" cannot be restored.
The exception message is "An Active Manager operation failed. Error: The database action failed. Error: Unable to mount database 'Public Folders'.
The database appears to have been mounted at least once since its creation,
but there is no database file at 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V14\Mailbox\Public Folders\Public Folders.edb'. Either recover the database file from a backup,
or mount the database with a new, empty database by using the Mount-Database cmdlet with the -Force parameter.. [Database: Public Folders, Server: *******.***]".
Exchange Management Shell command completed:

Elapsed Time: 00:00:16"
I blanked out the server name.
After I clicked off this message I remounted the public folders database and everything relative to the public folders seems to be working fine. Did this message occur because exchange was trying to mount the public folders database from its old location
and so I can safely move on with my life. Just wanted to double check with you.
And once everything has been moved from the old mailbox database such as user mailboxes, arbitration mailboxes - can I safely remove the old mailbox database. Thanks for your help.

Outlook 2013 with Exchange 2010

we upgraded from Outlook 2010 to 2013 x64it and the exchange server is the same 2010
when trying to cleanup public folders the Clean Up tool is grayed our and it says "outlook 2013 this feature is not available because you are running in online mode and connected to microsoft exchange server 2007 or earlier" none of this is true.
It works fine when you are in your own inbox, only grays out in Public folders, this worked fine with Outlook 2010
David

Hi David,
Sorry for the late reply.
Since Outlook 2010 works well, just Outlook 2013 has this issue, I still believe this issue related to the Outlook 2013 Client side.
I suggest also create a thread on Outlook Forum so that we can get more professional suggestions.
For your convenience:
https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/office/en-US/home?forum=outlook
If this issue really related to the Exchange 2010 server side, I suggest re-setting the default public folder database for testing.
Please make a back up for the current setting in case of some crash. If it doesn't work, please back to the current setting.
Then please follow following article to change the default public folder database:
Change the Default Public Folder Database for a Mailbox Database

Outlook 2010/2007 with Exchange 2010 - show email address in field To: instead name

Hi,
I´ve SBS 2011. Some users have more email aliases. I want to see in Outlook email adress/alias in field To: <- no user Name and Surname. I know, that I can open every message and go to Options and see full header, where is email adress, but I want
to see it on message preview in Outlook window (or Name Surname ([email protected]))
Thank you very much for your responses.

I think this is not what he was looking for. The link you provided is for showing the senders smtp address and not the recipients. as i understand it, hes looking for the same that i do.
user has multiple smtp addresses and user wants to be able to see to which of his own addresses the mails has been sent.
im looking for that solution to show recipients smtp address in the To:-Field when showing the email
as i unterstand it, there could not be a registry-value for outlook because exchange isnt using the smtp address internaly to deliver the email.
the only "Simple" Solution/Workaround i found is to use a distribution group with the smtp address you want to see and only add the specific user. then the user is able to see the Name of the Distribution Group instead of his own name so
hes able to differ.
thanks

Fully automated Outlook 2013 with Exchange 2010 client setup

Hi,
I'm trying to create a situation where a user fires up Outlook 2013 for the first time and the Exchange account is configured for them without any intervention whatsoever.
I currently have it that when a user opens Outlook, they see the "Welcome to Outlook 2013" screen and they click next. They are asked if the want to setup Outlook to connect to an email account and click Next. On the next screen, there
primary SMTP address is automatically filled out, and then autodiscover takes over and configures the rest for them.
I have configured AutoDiscover correctly (including SCP), and configured a GPO with "Automatically configure profile based on Active Directory Primary SMTP address".
However, I still get that "Welcome to Outlook 2013" screen.
How do I get rid of that to make the whole process fully automated?
Many thanks,
-Mark

Hi Mark,
I have this issue before.
When we first add our accout to Outlook, we should better create a new profile manually.
I suggest removing our accout from Outlook via "Mail" and re-creating new profile.
Operation details as below:
1. Start-->Control Panel-->Mail-->E-mail Accounts...-->select your account and Remove it-->Close
2. Show Profiles...-->Add-->then configure your account again.
Hope it is helpful
Thanks

Problem with Exchange 2010 Public Folders after installing Exchange 2013 in my environment.

I currently have an Exchange 2010 server with all the roles installed. Before installing Exchange 2013, I was able to launch the Public Folder Management Console but now I get an error. When I installed Exchange 2013, I got an error saying I
had a instance of Exchange 2000 or Exchange 2003, but I didn't have any of these servers left. There was still something in AD referencing my old server. I went into ADSIedit and deleted an old administrative group. This deletion caused my access
to my public folders to get messed up. I followed this article, http://blog.bruteforcetech.com/archives/766, and I was able to gain access back in my outlook client but I still can't see the public folders in OWA. I also get this error when
trying to access either Default or System Public Folders. "Cannot complete the operation because there isn't an available public folder database on server 'ExchangeServer'. It was running the command 'get-publicfolder - getchildren -identity '\'
-server 'ExchangeServer' "
My Public Folder Database exists and is mounted. Any help is appreciated.

Hi Belinda,
Thank you for responding. Yes you do understand my problem correctly. One correction is that after deleting this entry in ADSIEdit, we couldn't access public folders at all either in Outlook or OWA. I followed these steps in the below article:
http://blog.bruteforcetech.com/archives/766
After following these steps and recreating the entry on FolderHieachies in ADSI edit, I was able to gain access to the public folders again through Outlook, but still can't see them in OWA and can't access them in Public Folder Management Console.
Here are the results to your requests:

How can i sync my calendar in Outlook 2007 with iTunes 11.1.3.8 WITHOUT using iCloud?

How can i sync my calendar in Outlook 2007 with iTunes 11.1.3.8 WITHOUT using iCloud?

your link shows how to sync, i know how to do that.
i specifically wanted to sync my outlook calendar with my phone, not my outlook calendar with icloud calendar.
apparently you have to go into setup on phone and tell phone not to sync calendars with icloud so you can get choice to sync phone via itunes.
thanks anyways for trying.
feel free to reference my solution for similar questions.

Outlook 2007 with Vista 64bit

I'm curious if anyone else is having the same Outlook 2007 with their workstation?
Symptoms:
Sometimes, takes a while to load. will display "(Not Responding)" if fiddled with
Reading pane will sometimes blank grey, or simply display as a single bar with nothing in the pane.
Sometimes, will not send mail (although the settings have been tested to nausea, will send sometimes)
Sometimes, Send/Receive will stall and not recover.
Got the latest service pack. Reloaded the software. Tried the Office diagnostic utility. - not fixed. If anyone would recommend their favorite office help site, that would be nice too.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

For me, it turns out that the solution was to wait for Microsoft to come out with a fix.
Solution: Suffer and wait for Microsoft to eventually release an update that works.
Please also be aware that there are several add-ins that conflict with Outlook 2007.
Take a look at Tools > Trust Center... > Add-Ins. Google any non-Microsoft items to see if there's an issue
Here's a couple of sites that has a few good tips.

Outlook 2013 with Exchange 2007 - out of office problem

We are using outlook 2013 with Exchange 2007. When users select their out of office it will work fine for the first day, however there after the Out of Office replies stop working. Out of Office is set correctly within Outlook, but what we have found
is that if the user opens Outlook the Out of Office starts to work again. Also when the user opens Outlook it takes around two minutes before it registers that Out of Office is on.
Any Ideas?

Hi,
How do you configure your OOF? From standard OOF wizard or define an automatic reply template from Rule wizard?
If you are using a template, Outlook must be running for the Rules Wizard to automatically reply. Please refer to the Note in the following KB:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/311107
If it is configured by using standard Out of Office assistance in File > Automatic Replies, please remove OOF settings in Outlook and set it from OWA 2007, then check whether the issue can be reproduced.

Exchange 2007 to Exchange 2010 URL redirection

Hi,
I am performing exchange 2007 to exchange 2010 migration in co-existence. When i am accessing exchange 2010 OWA and logged in with exchange 2007 user then silent redirection is happening.
But when i am accessing the exchange 2007 OWA and logged in with exchange 2010 user, this is asking for manual redirection to exchange 2010 OWA url.
Please suggest the silent redirection method from exchange 2007 to exchange 2010 URLs.
All exchange servers are in same active directory site.
Regards Sunny Chauhan

Hi Sunny,
You can run the below command to resolve this error
Set-OWAVirtualDirectory <CAS2007>\OWA* -LegacyRedirectType Silent
The LegacyRedirectType parameter specifies the type of redirect that Outlook Web App uses to a legacy Client Access server or front-end server when forms-based authentication isn't used on the Exchange 2013 Outlook Web App virtual directory.
The following values are valid for this parameter:
•Silent
•Manual
Silent causes a standard redirect. Manual displays an intermediate page that shows the legacy URL so that users can change their bookmarks.
Please mark as helpful if you find my contribution useful or as an answer if it does answer your question.That will encourage me - and others - to take time out to help you.
