Remove Last Public Folder Database / Impact on Outlook 2007 - 2013 Clients ?? / Exchange 2010

Hello together,
we have an Exchange 2010 SP3 UR5 Infrastructure. Now the end is in sight for Public Folders :)
We want to Remove our Last Public Folder Database on our Organization.
How can i get this managed and what is the Outlook 2007+++ Client Impact on this Action ?
The Plan is:
Remove all Public Folder Content
Set the OAB to Web Distribution Only
Clear the “msExchHomePublicMDB” attribute on Exchange Databases
Clear the “siteFolderServer” attribute on CN=Exchange Administrative Group (FYDIBOHF23SPDLT)
Remove the Public Folder Database with ADSI
Is there anything else to do ?
Is there any Outlook Client Impact on this ? Does the Users get a Outlook Error like "your exchange administrator did some changes please restart" or is it transparent for the users ?
thanks for Feedback,
Best,
Martin

Hello,
Please follow the Naren.Neelam's suggestion.
Besides, I recommend you remove database via EMC or EMS. If you can't remove the database via EMC or EMS, and then you can use ADSIEDIT to remove the public folder database from the organization.
When you remove a public folder database, the Exchange database (.edb) file for the database and other files associated with the database aren't automatically deleted. You must delete the public folder database files manually.
Here are some articles for your reference.

Getting default Public Folder names again

I just installed Leopard and updated to 10.5.4. I set up two users both as Admins. When I set up File Sharing, both user's public folders, were already installed, and were named "[username]'s Public Folder". This was great as they both showed up with their different respective names when accessed.
I then changed the User Names of both Admin accounts. The second user Admin account automatically changed the Public Folder's name (in the file sharing section), to match the new User Name but the first Admin account did not, retaining the original User Name I had given the main Admin account. Trying in vain to get it to change to match, (you can't rename the public folder there), I removed it from the shared folder field and added it back. While successful, it now only has the name "Public" rather than "[username]'s Public Folder".
Can anyone help me get the original OS default name back again?

I see. as I said I don't know how to do it properly but you can try the follwoing (admittedly clumsy) workaround.
Rename your public folder. It's not quite easy to do actually because that folder is protected by a deny delete ACL and you won't be able to rename it without some extra work.
First run the following command in terminal ( from the same account as that Public folder) to remove the ACL.
chmod -N ~/Public
You can now rename it as you like. Let's say you call it
Joe's Public folder
(or whatever). You can put the deny delete ACL back if you want to protect that folder from accidental deletion as it was by default. to do that run the following terminal command
chmod +a "everyone deny delete" ~/"Joe's Public folder"
keep the quotes in the command. I'm not sure if there is any downside to doing this. It might be that the name of the Public folder is hard coded somewhere and renaming it will have some unintended consequences. I tested it on one of my accounts and everything seems to work fine there but something might still come up later. If it does you can always rename the folder back to Public.

Exchange 2013 Public Folder Migration Problem

Hi All,
Wonder if any of you can assist with a public folder issue I am having with Exchange 2013. We have migrated from Exchange 2010 to 2013.
I have followed the guide for public folder migration here
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj150486(v=exchg.150).aspx
Everything went fine and as per the document - except I had to use the "largeitemlimit" parameter to get the public folder migration to complete.
We tested the public folder migration by adding content to public folders and creating public folders and it all appeared to be OK, we completed the migration and removed our old public folder databases from Exchange 2010.
However we noticed later that users cannot CREATE folders in SOME public folders. It appears from some testing that any folder that does not lie in the first public folder mailbox, end users cannot create public folders. Administrators can create them
fine from the ECP - just not from outlook.
It also appears some users cannot see some folders that they have permissions to.
Can anyone assist with some ideas to resolve ?
Thanks.

Question?
Are you able to create the Folder in OWA?

it is not functionally possible to create Public Folders in OWA user interface in Exchange 2013!.... From admin ECP it works fine!
My Bad, that's what I was trying to say.
Testing the same thing in the LAB, should have some update tomorrow morning.

Delete last Public Folder Database

Hi, i have full Exchange 2010 deployment and one Exchange 2007 mailbox server that contains only one public folder database.
I dont have any public fodler databases on Exchange 2010 servers so there is only one public folder db in the whole organization residing in the last mailbox 2007 server.
my users are not using public folders and i have full web distributino OAB and im not using the public folder db for anything
I want to remove that one public folder database, but it gave me errors that there is some folder inside, when i dig inside the PF eirarchy, i can only see some system folders that i couldnt delete.
So is it safe if i use adsiedit to delete that PF database?

Public Folder Database Removal

Hello,
I am working in a Exchange 2010/2013 co-existence environment.
All mailboxes have been moved to Exchange 2013.
Public folders remain on Exchange 2010 for the moment.
There are 4 Public folder databases, all identical in terms of replicas:
PFDB1 - MBX01
PFDB2- MBX02
PFDB3 - MBX03
PFDB4 - MBX04
Circumstances beyond my control may mean that I need to take the MBX03 and MBX04 servers out of the production environment before I have migrated the public folder hierarchy across to 2013.
What is the recommended method for removing the public folder databases on these two servers?
Previous experience tells me that removing a database containing any replicas will fail. How can this be mitigated while keeping the PF structure in tact on PFDB1 and PFDB2 and thus serving the client mailboxes?
Regards
Matt

Hi,
To remove a public folder databae, you can look at the following article.
Remove Public Folder Databases
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-gb/library/dd876883(v=exchg.141).aspx
Before you delete public folder database, please dismount public folder databases temporarily and make sure Exchange 2013 users can access public folders normally.

How to Remove Public Folder Replicas?

I am unable to remove the Public Folder Database . Every time I try, I get the error:
   The public folder database specified contains folder replicas.
   Before deleting the public folder database, remove the folders
   or move the replicas to another public folder database.
The public folder database has no Public Folders in it - it is completely empty. I've set replication to "Never" but I still get this error. The UI does not expose the replica list and the set-PublicFolder command does not
have a provision for having an empty parameter for the -Replicas switch.
I can't just simply delete the database itself since then the Exchange Uninstall will fail the pre-checks and won't uninstall and I need the roles removed, etc. from the registry.
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

had the same issue with this script as kenaska. Use the Microsoft suggested commands on this page to remove both user and system public folders, and then you can remove the database. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb201664%28v=exchg.140%29.aspx
User Public Folders:
Get-PublicFolder -Server <server containing the public folder database> "\" -Recurse -ResultSize:Unlimited | Remove-PublicFolder -Server <server containing the public folder database> -Recurse -ErrorAction:SilentlyContinue
System Public Folders:
Get-PublicFolder -Server <server containing the public folder database> "\Non_Ipm_Subtree" -Recurse -ResultSize:Unlimited | Remove-PublicFolder -Server <server containing the public folder database> -Recurse -ErrorAction:SilentlyContinue
This worked to resolve my issue.

Public Folder Migration from Exchange 2007 to 2013 fails RelinquishedWlmStall budget limitations

I have been trying to migrate approx 50 public folders from Exchange 2007 to Exchange 2013 for several months. I have followed every link I can find on how to do the migration properly. It will stay in a queued state for hours until the MRS is

Hi,
Basic on the error message, I notice that public folder migrate slow and display that “Relinquishing job because of large delays due to unfavorable server health or budget limitations” .
If I misunderstand your concern, please do not hesitate to let me know.
Since it is just slow and not failing, please do not stop the batch, it might connect to another server for sync.
Meanwhile, please refer to below link so that get details about Exchange Online migration performance and best practices:
https://technet.microsoft.com/library/dn592150(v=exchg.150).aspx
If the issue persists, please collect the relevant migration report for further troubleshooting.
Thanks

Owner of the public folder is not able to move or remove or create items underneath

Scenario:
"ABCD" is the parent folder to which the user A given owner rights using EMC console.
system admin creates 2 new sub-folders underneath and given user A with "owner" rights. Now the problem is out of 2 sub-folders one works fine(it means "user A" got full rights) and other one does not allow the "user A" to move,
remove, created items.
Issue is specific to only one user, any more ideas if you can suggest me to resolve this please?
this is for Exchange 2010 SP3 environment.

Hi,
From your description, this issue affects only one user.
Please use the Get-PublicFolderClientPermission -Identity "public folder" command to check the permissions.
If possible, please remove and re-add the public folder permission to check result.
If you have multiple DCs, please make sure there is no replication issue.
Besides, please run the get-mailbox | fl default* cmdlet to check the default public folder mailbox and compare with other normal users.

2010 - 2013 Public Folder migration failed - Property Expression isn't valid

We just migrated from 2003 to 2010, and now on to 2013. I have Exchange 2013 CU3 installed, and all mailboxes moved. When trying to move the public folders, I'm getting an error about DataValidationException. Property expression <PF
Name with spaces> isn't valid......
Many articles refer to a mail-enabled public folder with spaces can't have spaces in the alias. This is NOT a mail-enabled public folder, so there isn't an alias that I can find.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Unable to remove public folder

Hi i am doing transition of Exchange 2007 to Exchange 2013
During Testing i could not remove public folder database in Exchange 2007 so i had to remove it from schema.
CONFIGURATION -- CN=Microsoft Exchange,CN=Services,CN=MyOrganization,CN=AdministrativeGroup,
CN=MyServer,CN=InformationStore,CN=PublicFolderStorate,CN=PublicFolderDatabase
I have deleted the PublicFolderDatabase object. then it worked.
I just need to cross check, is this right object in schema to be deleted

Hi ,
Yes the above mentioned path is right.But the above mentioned path belongs to the configuration partition in AD not on schema partition.
Thanks & Regards S.Nithyanandham

Public Folder Deletion/Removal and Replication

Hi All
Overview:
I have a single DAG with 3 Members with all roles on each server, each has a Public Folder and is replicated, ie; PF1, PF2 & PF3
the edb on PF1 has grown very large compared to the other 2 almost out of freespace (whitespace issue i think), so I plan to remove it whilst leaving PF2 & PF3 intact, then i need to re-replicate to an newly created PF1 so i'm back
to having all 3 servers replicating the public folder DB
I plan to point everyone to PF2 as they are currently split between PF1 & PF2 along with the DBs.
Can someone guide me through the process, I've looked at Removing public folders but nothing gives me a good guide in my scenario ?
Thanks

Hi,
Based on my understanding, you want to remove PF1, however you didn't want to interrupt the clients from accessing public folders, so you would like these users to access PF2. If I misunderstood your concern, please let me know.
Before you delete PF1, please specify PF2 for mailbox databases on the Mailbox server where this PF1 reside. After you recreate a new PF and configure Public Folder Replication, you can specify this new PF for mailbox databases to get it back when all data
have been replicated.
Here is an article about how to change the default Public Folder Database for a Mailbox Database for your reference.

Cant get offline servicing to work
Have tried rebooting as recommended in other posts and then running DISM /Cleanup-wim , however it still prompts with the above in the offline servivingmgr.log
Also cant manually delete the folders, need to update my windows 8.1 and server 2012 images. Could this be because my site server that the offline servicing is running 2008 R2?
Really dont want to have to rebuild and recapture images just so they can have the latter updates....

"Win32 Error = 5" is "Access Denied"
A lot of things are possible here, but ultimately it comes down to the account being used and the permissions on the folder. It's possible the permissions have been corrupted. Have you tried resetting them?

Remove a pdf from public folder?

When I use share a document facility from acrobat.com to email a pdf it says my file is put in a public folder. Is this permanent? Can I remove it? How do I do that?

Can you describe how you're sharing your document within Acrobat.com? Your mention of a 'public folder' is a little confusing to us.
Typically, the way to make a document public or private is simply to select which option you want on the Share File dialog.
