Public folders not replicating Exchange 2010

Earlier this year I did a migration from a single 2003 Exchange server to a single Exchange 2010 server. I didn't notice until recently that my GAL isn't being updated in cached mode in Outlook 2010+ but is in OWA and with cached mode turned off. So,
I dug a little more, and also noticed that I also having errors when trying to go into Public Folder Management Console when I right click and and select update content on anything under Default Public Folders or System Public Folders I get an error about
no replica being found.
Microsoft Exchange Error
Action 'Update Content' could not be performed on object 'OFFLINE ADDRESS BOOK'.
OFFLINE ADDRESS BOOK
Failed
Error:
Server 'JASMAIL01' doesn't have a replica of public folder '\NON_IPM_SUBTREE\OFFLINE ADDRESS BOOK'. Public folder content can be synchronized only from a server that has a replica of that public folder.
When I update anything inside the Offline Address Book Folder I get:
Microsoft Exchange Error
Action 'Update Content' could not be performed on object 'EX:/o=AmicalolaEMC/ou=Exchange Administrative Group (FYDIBOHF23SPDLT)'.
EX:/o=AmicalolaEMC/ou=Exchange Administrative Group (FYDIBOHF23SPDLT)

Public folders not replicated

I have an Exchange 2007 and two Exchange 2010 servers. The 2007 server used to house all mail until and upgrade to 2010, everything was moved over, so I assume since I didn't do the move and Public folders show as being on the 2007 server as well
as the two 2010 servers. However when I shutdown the 2007 server Public folders begin to not work for users. How can I get rid of the old server without screwing up the Public Folders for users?

Hi,
Based on the description, you have moved mailboxes to Exchange 2010, and the public folders on Exchange 2007 have been replicated to Exchange 2010. If you shutdown the Exchange 2007 server, Exchange 2010 users can't access public folders. If I misunderstood
your concern, please let me know.
Please run the Get-PublicFolderStatistics cmdlet to check the result.
And please check if you specify the public folder database on Exchange 2010 as the default public folder database for mailbox database on Exchange 2010 server.
Best regards,
Belinda

That is correct. If I run the command all I get is the name of folders item count and last access time, this is if I run it from the 2010 server. It currently looks like the default is on the 2007 server. Would switching the default to the
replicated DB on the 2010 server allow me to completely remove the 2007 server?

How to migrate public folders from legacy (exchange 2003 ) to exchange 2010

How to migrate public folders from legacy (exchange 2003 ) to exchange 2010 . Please suggest ?
Aditya Mediratta

Hi Aditya,
please find the answer in
http://blogs.technet.com/b/agobbi/archive/2010/08/04/how-to-move-public-folder-from-exchange-2003-to-exchagne-2010.aspx
Please ensure you have a working mailflow from Exchange 2003 to 2010, vice versa, before you begin.
Basically it's the same procedure as adding some PF Database in E2K3; just
run .\AddReplicaToPFRecursive.ps1 -server "Exchange 2010 Server" -TopPublicFolder "\" -ServerToAdd "Exchange 2010 Server"
Wait until some initial data started to replicate; after that run
Update-PublicFolderHierarchy -Server "Exchange 2010 Server"
After replication has finished you can do a
.\MoveAllReplicas.ps1 -Server "Exchange 2003 Server" -NewServer "Exchange 2010 Server"
Please let me know if it worked.
Kind regards,
Martin

Public Folders after 2007 to 2010 Migration

I am unable to move public Folders from 2007 to 2010. Will not replicate nor can I create or use any new Public Folders on the 2010 server. Every other part of the migration has been completed and the system is working well.
Is there anything that I might be missing in order to move Public Folders to 2010?

Hi,
Please check the msExchHomePublicMDB value in ADSI Edit:
1. In Adsiedit, expand Configuration-->CN=Services -> CN=Microsoft Exchange -> CN=domain -> CN=Administrative Groups -> CN=Exchange Administrative Group -> CN=Databases.
2. Right-click the listed database > Properties.
3. Make sure the msExchHomePublicMDB value is pointed to the Public Folder database in Exchange 2010 instead of Exchange 2007.
Additionally, please use the ReplaceReplicaOnPFRecursive.ps1 script to move all the replicas of a public folder subtree from one server to another server. For more information about Public Folder migration from Exchange 2007 to Exchange 2010, please refer

Public folders in Mixed Exchange environment

We are running
- Exchange 2007 - a LOT of users and a LOT of PF
- Exchange 2010 ( currently very limited )
- Exchange 2013 - about 2000 users
The Exch 2010 environment was pretty much stood up and had 30 pilot accounts on it before we decided to go to Exch 2013 instead/ These account have since been migrated to Exch 2013, so it is currently VERY LIMITED use.
We have a large number of Public Folders in Exch 2007. We do not plan on using the Exch 2013 model of shared mailboxes, but are looking to create the Public Folders in the Exch 2010 environment so we can close down Exch 2007.
The bulk of my users are still on 2007, but I have a couple thousand already moved to 2013. All users can access the Public Folders on Exch 2007.
We have not created any Public Folders in Exch 2010 yet. Practically all the posts I read state to enable replication for the 2007 folders to get them to 2010, but what about NEW folders. If I create a new folder on Exch 2010, without configuring replication
to 2007, will the Exch 2007 and Exch 2013 users be able to access it?
Tom

For Exchange 2010 or Ex2007 you will need to setup the replication but for Exchange 2013 it is different.
what is your plan,, do you want to keep them on 2013 or 2010 or you want keep the mix environment?
If I create a new folder on Exch 2010, without configuring replication to 2007, will the Exch 2007 and Exch 2013 users be able to access it? Yes you can still access them. You will need to setup the database for the default public folders.

Mail-enabled Public Folders not showing as enabled in PFMC or EMS

Good morning
I have some PF's that are mail enabled, but running the Get-PublicFolder cmdlet shows "mailenabled" attribute as False. Also, in the PF Management Console, the folder shows as not mail enabled (with an option to enable it).
I found this thread that seems to be related:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/exchange/en-US/918aad03-c96f-4023-89cc-ec2c66e51b93/mailenabled-public-folders-not-showing-as-mailenabled?forum=exchangesvrgenerallegacy
I'd like to do some testing, but recreating this issue with a test PF is actually really hard.
Does anyone know a way to force that "mailenabled" attribute to False after mail-enabling a PF? I can't find any ADSI attribute that is obvious. I changed MsExchRecipientTypeDetails to <not set> but that didn't do it...
**UPDATE** I just found out that msExchMailboxGuid is missing from that object. Does anyone have any kind of suggestion for how I can find the Guid of the mailbox that is no longer associated with this PF?
**UPDATE 2** I have found other PF's that are missing this attribute, but they are not displaying any symptoms. They are showing as mail enabled in the EMS and PFMC. So I guess this isn't a required attribute.
Could anyone explain the purpose of this attribute for mail-enabled public folders? I just assumed it was required.
Thanks!

Hi,
Do you migrate these mail-enabled public folders from previous Exchange server to Exchange 2010?
Please check if you can see the SMTP address for mail-enabled public folders via Properties of Public folders.
Please check if they show in the Microsoft Exchange System Objects in ADUC.
Besides, I recommend you mail disable the public folder and then mail enable it again to check the result in the Public Folder Management Console.
For a mail-enabled recipient, a minimum set of attributes is required to make all Exchange components work properly. For example, a mail-enabled entry (a user, contact, group, or public folder) has to have at least these attributes: mailNickname, legacyExchangeDN,
and displayName. Without the mailNickname attribute, an object is not considered mail-enabled.

Public Folders on Microsoft Exchange

Is there a way to access public folders on Microsoft Exchange. This can be any version of ColdFusion and any version of Exchange. Right now I have CF9 and Exchange 2007, but we are looking to upgrade to CF10 and Exchange 2013.

UPDATE: (WORKING)
I tried Mihir's suggestion to change the ownership to the SERVERNAME$ for the objects within the CN=Microsoft Exchange System Objects container. I could not check the actual owner on any new folders as they will not appear in this container until they are
mail enabled. (Of which I cannot mail enable them)
On trying to change the owner from SYSTEM which is what it is on seemingly all objects, whilst I could select the Exchange server from the list, the setting would not take. (The SERVERNAME$ never appears in the list of possible owners after selecting it)
Instead I tested giving the Exchange Server (SERVERNAME$) full control permission on one of the objects/Public Folders. (Via ADSIEdit) This immediately allowed me to change as properties for the folder to include Send-As. (At last!!)
To fully resolve all permission issues, noting the Exchange server is a member of the Exchange Trusted Subsystem Group, I gave this group full control permissions on the CN=Microsoft Exchange System Objects folder and this resolved ALL permission issues
to include being able to create new folders, mail enable them etc.
No reboots/logoff etc were required, the settings are taken immediately. (Mileage may vary with replication)
Many thanks for getting me on the right track.

Public folders in hosted Exchange 2013

Hi,
Is it possible to setup public folders for a tenant i Exchange 2013, eg. with custom id 0 set or something like that?
Thanks!

Hi,
If you want to deploy public folders in an Exchange 2013 multi-tenant environment, you can create a public folder mailbox per tenant.

Exchange 2010 SP2 Public Folders Stubborn Replicas (OAB)

I migrated to a new server with 2010 SP3 all is working good, I am able to see all Public Folders and their contents fine. Now I need to delete this stubborn Public Folder on the older 2010 SP2 server to decommission it. But I get the dreadful 'you cannot
delete this database because it contain replicas' blah blah. Very annoying.
This is what the stats pulled up. They are not folders to me, and the new server is the default for OAB. Not sure what to do, I just want to delete this database the right way without resorting to ASIEDIT. I do not want to use that tool, read many horrible
stories of people deleted the database only to have hours of after affects where other public stores went into an inconsistent state. HELP!

Did you create replicas of these folders on the other server and remove the replicas from the server you want to uninstall? Have you configured the OAB so that it's generated on the new server?

Mail-enabled Public Folders not accepting email from external users after migrating from Exchange 2003

We are in the process of trying to decommission our Exchange 2003 server, all of the replicas have been moved to the Exchange 2010 SP3 servers. However, each time we dismount the public folder store on the 2003 server (just to see what won't work) nobody
from outside the company can send mail to the mail-enabled public folders (we use these to communicate with vendors and customers).....they sit in the 2003 mail queue until I remount the store.
I have mail disabled them on the 2010 PF server, waited a few hours and then mail enabled them again. Same issue. Interesting to note is that when the PF store on the 2003 server is dismounted people inside
the company can still send to the mail-enabled PFs (which is good). I am stumped.

Public Folders not visible in outlook 2010 for some

Migrated exchange 2007 to 2013. I know Public Folders are a mailbox now.
My question is why do some users with outlook 2010 see the Public Folders under "Tasks" on the left vertical bottom of outlook with "Folder List" highlighted and other DON'T -They just don't see anything under "Tasks" on the
left vertical bottom of outlook with "Folder List" highlighted
Also (in a newly created email) if they go to the address book drop down click on Public Folders entry its empty.
any help would be appreciated

Hi RJM,
Except above links, I also recommend you refer to the following article to migrate the PF from exchange 2007 to 2013:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/meamcs/archive/2013/07/25/part-4-step-by-step-exchange-2007-to-2013-migration.aspx
Check the status
Once the migration reached the AutoSuspended state as shown below, proceed to the next steps, otherwise you must wait as this may take some time based on your PF size.
Get-PublicFolderMigrationRequest | Get-PublicFolderMigrationRequestStatistics
Lock Down PF for Migration (Down time is required, as during this phase PF will bot be accessible for all users)
Set-OrganizationConfig -PublicFoldersLockedForMigration:$true
Set-PublicFolderMigrationRequest -Identity \PublicFolderMigration -PreventCompletion:$false
Resume-PublicFolderMigrationRequest -Identity \PublicFolderMigration
Test and Unlock the PF Migration
I will configure a test user to use the new PF using the following command:
Set-Mailbox -Identity mohsaeed -DefaultPublicFolderMailbox mailbox1
Open the test user mailbox and run some tests: Create new post, view old posts, check permissions
If all tests passed successful proceed to next step.
Get-Mailbox -PublicFolder | Set-Mailbox -PublicFolder -IsExcludedFromServingHierarchy $false
Set-OrganizationConfig -PublicFolderMigrationComplete:$true

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:

SBS2003- SBS2011 migration - public folders still replicating...

Doing a SBS2003 to SBS2011 migration using the MS method. All is going well so far except the public folder replication is taking forever. I've done all the tricks like increasing the replication priority and limits but it's still going (I think,
anyways, it's hard to tell sometimes). The public folder instances still shows several pages of folders although about two thirds of the folders have moved so at least it's working (I hope). A few questions regarding my situation:
1) Is it OK to execute the "Move all replicas" command in SBS2003 ESE again? Or should I goto the SBS2011 and try the MoveAllReplicas.ps1 exchange powershell command?
2) Can I move onto the next steps of moving the OWA and moving the actual mailboxes? It would save me time if I could just continue and get back to this later.
3) Any other tips on how to compare the two public folder stores and be sure they all got transferred?
Thanks.

The replication takes time if you have a lot of public folders. Good you have it working though, since you said most of the folders have moved over.
1) Yes, it is safe, go ahead. The powershell command in destination doesn't work with the legacy source server as I recall.
2) Yes, you can move mailboxes and public folders at the same time. Go ahead and proceed and let the PF's replicate in the background
3) The folders are transferred properly when they disappear from the SBS2003 ESM PF instances. To see the status of the migrated folders in the target server, get a script from here:
http://blog.mikewalker.me/2013/05/exchange-2010-public-folder-replication.html. But the move needs to be initiated and controlled from the source ESM.
Additional tips:
- if you think the replication has stalled, you can debug it by enabling logging on the Default SMTP Connector in the target server. If you see replication related messages in the logs, the replication should be working.
- check that the target message size limits (in SMTP connector and in database) are not preventing the replication if you have large items in your PF database
- sometimes the values in the source server PF replication settings are blank. Set default values + always run if that is the case
- sometimes it helps with some folders that won't move, if you go to destination server EMC and mail disable them.
- redoing "move all replicas" and a reboot of the source helps occasionally too

Public Folders on multiple Exchange 2013 servers

Two companies (lets call them WestCoast Company and EastCoast Company) have merged. Each one has Ex2010 with PFs of local scope (the companies don't need access to each other's PFs). I want to move them to a single Exchange Organization with one Exchange
server in each office and possibly a 3rd Exchange in a data center. I am looking for the best/simplest solution for those legacy PFs. Questions:
- With Exchange 2010 I can only have one PF database so I will have to merge the PF structures. If the "master" PF DB sits in the data center I can choose which folders to replicate to each regional Exchange server (ie I can have only WestCoast
folders on the WestCoast Exchange and similar for East Coast). Are these statements correct?
With Exchange 2013:
- Can I have more than one PF trees (one per PF mailbox) or am I limited to a single PF hierarchy?
- If only one PF hierarchy, am I forced to have one location that holds all the content or can the content remain distributed in different locations?
- Can I have content (or PF mboxes) that only show up on some of the Exchange servers? (ie WestCost PFs will show up only on WestCoast Exchange)
- Do the PF limits (10,000 folders, 1 million items, etc) apply per PF mbox or for the whole thing?
Thanks

There is just one public folder hierarchy. You can assign sub-trees under the root to different mailbox databases, though, and through permissions you could restrict who can see each of them.
You can have public folder mailboxes mounted in different mailbox databases, with different databases mounted in different locations. So you could have the Europe folders in a mailbox in a mailbox database mounted on a European server, and the Americas
folders in a mailbox in a mailbox database mounted on an Americas server.
You can do that but only by grouping public folder mailboxes in mailbox databases that are mounted where you want them to be mounted. As stated before, you might be able to hide folders through permissions, not by where they are mounted.
Yes, the 10,000-folder limit applies to the organization. If you have more than that, wait until the limit is increased.

Outlook 2010 not showing Exchange 2010 archives, OWA does.

We have activated Exchange 2010 archives for all users but most of them are not showing up in their Outlook, but everyone can see them in OWA.
Office 2010 Standard - MAK licenses, 2 distinct keys
Majority of systems are Windows XP, some Vista and 7.
Through testing it seems to be a system problem. Using 3 test accounts I log onto various systems, some freshly reimaged, some pre-existing. The test account profiles were new to each system. Sometimes the archive folder would appear, sometimes it wouldn't,
but it was consistent per computer. Meaning that if the folder didn't appear for 1 person, it didn't show up for anyone on that specific computer.
Anybody know how to fix this? Am I missing a setting or registry key somewhere?
Thank you for any help,
Greg

Ok, just spent some time looking into this more, if you google "office 2010 suite and version comparison guide pdf" and locate the .pdf file and open it, on page 17 under
Managed E-Mail Folders & Retention Policy:
"Provide a secondary location for users to store their e-mail messages and
manage their mailbox quota with new online managed folders. Unlike localOutlook Data Files (PSTs), this information can be backed
up and managed by Exchange Server." - is an Office Professional Plus feature only.
So, it would appear that we now not only have to purchase an enterprise CAL for Exchange, but Office Professional Plus as well so we can, I suspect, use the
one extra useful feature that most sys admins wanted Exchange 2010 SP1 for in the first place, which is so centrally manage e-mails and e-mail archives. Whilst this may not be a big deal for larger companies, educational institutes
etc, as the sys admin for a small private business with 70 users, this extra cost hurts. As for the lack of clarity - if you want to tie up Office versions with Exchange functionality, how about standardizing naming conventions - call the Exchange
CALs "standard" and "professional" to match the required Office clients, or rename Office Professional to Office Enterprise - either way, match up the client apps and CALs to make it clearer.
