Removing Pubilc folder and default mailbox database

I have two mailbox sever in our environment, a virtual EX2010 and physical EX server 2010. 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.
I have used
ADSIEdit tool and removed the public folders completely but the other
mailbox database is still referring ( path ) to default public folder ( DB properties – client setting)
I am not using Virtual Exchange and when I try to delete the default mailbox database I get below eroor msg.
The mailbox database Mailbox Database 145247587848' cannot be deleted.
Mailbox Database 145247587848
Failed
Error:
This mailbox database contains one or more mailboxes, mailbox plans, archive mailboxes, or arbitration mailboxes. To get a list of all mailboxes in this database, run the command
Get-Mailbox -Database <Database ID>. To get a list of all mailbox plans in this database, run the command Get-MailboxPlan. To get a list of archive mailboxes in this database, run the command Get-Mailbox -Database <Database ID> -Archive. To get
a list of all arbitration mailboxes in this database, run the command Get-Mailbox -Database <Database ID> -Arbitration. To disable a non-arbitration mailbox so that you can delete the mailbox database, run the command Disable-Mailbox <Mailbox ID>.
To disable an archive mailbox so you can delete the mailbox database, run the command Disable-Mailbox <Mailbox ID> -Archive. Arbitration mailboxes should be moved to another server; to do this, run the command New-MoveRequest <parameters>. If this
is the last server in the organization, run the command Disable-Mailbox <Mailbox ID> -Arbitration -DisableLastArbitrationMailboxAllowed to disable the arbitration mailbox. Mailbox plans should be moved to another server; to do this, run the command Set-MailboxPlan
<MailboxPlan ID> -Database <Database ID>.
Can anyone guide me how to resolve these issues so I can uninstall exchange roll.
Thanks

Hi,
Just as what Amit suggested, if you want to remove the default public folder database for a mailbox database, you can clear the value of the msExchHomePublicMDB attribute.
Here is a related article for your reference.

  • We have a Exchange 2013 server and the Mailbox Database folder is filling up with .log files.

    We are migrating from Exchange 2010 to Exchange 2013.  We have installed the Exchange 2013 but it only has a couple of mailboxes on this server, all the mailboxes are still on the Exchange 2010 server.
    I have run a Windows Backup of the Exchange 2013 but I am still seeing a ton a log files in the mailbox folder.
    Also the database file is only about 1.1 GB but the backup is now 40 GB.  
    Is there something that can be done to truncate these logs and make the backup smaller?

    Hi ,
    1.Does the full backup completed successfully ?
    2.what about the status for the below mentioned command ? Does the mailbox database headers updated with the latest time and date ?
    Get-MailboxDatabase -Status | ft name,*full* -au
    3.Just check the application event logs for the event id
     2046  and that should state that the log truncation for the mailbox databases has been initiated or not.
    4.Before initiating the backup just make the exchange writer is not on error.
    vssadmin list writers
    In case if it on error state ,please restart the Microsoft exchange replication service and check the exchange writers status again by using the above mentioned command.
    Thanks & Regards S.Nithyanandham

  • Managed Default versus Managed Custom Folder, and Default Folder Type Options

    I am looking to create some new managed folders needed for company retention policy.
    It seems pretty forward to create the folder: 
    New-ManagedFolder -Name "[Name Here]" -DefaultFolderType Inbox -Comment "[comments here]" -MustDisplayComment $true
    However I have noticed there seems to be two types of folders: Managed Custom and Managed Default. What exactly is the difference.
    Also what different default folder type options are there, and what is the different between them?

    I actually am using retention tags and retention policies for the existing folders (inbox, deleted, junk/spam, conversation history). Which takes care of most of our actual messages.
    However most of the space in a users mail box is take by docs scanned to their emails. These docs are almost instantly moved to file servers, and other databases but sit in the mailboxes for ever. So I was hoping to create a default folder and deploy rules
    so that all the scanned items are automatically moved to that folder where they can be deleted per a retention policy tag.
    I'm not married to this method but it did seem reasonable in terms of not leaving things to the users to sort items, and would love a better way to accomplish it.
    The retention policy says we will keep communications for a maximum x years for users excluding certain document types (junk/spam, voice mails, Instant messages, Scanned docs) and any thing older will be automatically removed, the special documents
    will have significantly shorted life spans (1 to 8 weeks). 

  • How to remove a folder and some links from start-menu

    Hi!
    An application (Kaspersky Antivirus) is installed on quite
    some Win2K-SP-Workstations by the Kaspersky Administration
    Kit (with its own installer).
    With this installation an entry to the start-menu is made
    and this entry shall be removed by Zfd 3.2-SP3. I ran
    through some tests with an application-object (run as secure
    system user), which only intent was to remove this entry.
    First I tried by "Distribution Options - Application Files"
    to remove the folder "C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\All
    Users\Startmen\Programme\Kaspersky Anti-Virus 6.0 for
    Windows Workstations". Then I tried a "Distribution Script"
    with "RD /S /Q "C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\All
    Users\Startmen\Programme\Kaspersky Anti-Virus 6.0 for
    Windows Workstations"", which also failed.
    Do I miss something? Where could I check the results of
    those tries to get a better feeling on what is going wrong
    here?
    Thanks in advance.
    Karl

    When doing the job with an *.bat-file it works, when going
    with the distribution script it does not. Are all the
    windows/dos/batch commands available in the distribution
    script option?

  • How can i remove my Photo Library ? i have two folders inside Photos which are Photo Library and Camera Roll, i can't remember how Photo Library got there but i wanna remove that folder and the photos inside + i really messed up

    someone told me to try iFunbox and delete thumbs file from filesystem so i did and now i have the same pics but only thumbnails when i click on one of them its black screen.
    mow after restarting my phone and syncing all photos and videos from camera roll are gone i think i messed up so bad and photo library folder looks so messy like a long black screen
    can someone tell me what to do ? i don't wanna restore and lose all my apps/games
    thank you

    You cannot remove photo library.
    It will always be there.  This is where all photos synced to iphone reside.
    Have you tried a reset?
    If that fails, then you will likely need to restore.

  • Remove parent folder and all subfolders (custom info panels)

    I'm writing a script to help users install custom info panels in the Folder.userData + '/Adobe/XMP/Custom File Info Panels/3.0/panels' location.  I have a working script to copy files, but I also want to delete previous versions of the same info panel.   I also want to allow for the possibility that could be several older versions so I need to loop through them.  I know that I need to empty the files of a folder before it can be removed.  I can remove one instance of a ninfo panel, but not several - I'm having trouble getting the function to loop.
    For example, if I have two old info panel version to delete (myPanel_v1 and myPanel_v2) can use getFiles (myPanel*) to get an array with the names of the two parent folders:
    ~/AppData/Roaming/Adobe/XMP/Custom%20File%20Info%20Panels/3.0/panels/myPanel_v1,~/AppData/ Roaming/Adobe/XMP/Custom%20File%20Info%20Panels/3.0/panels/myPanel_v2
    What I can't do is the loop through the subfolders and their contents based on the index of this array.  Perhaps there is a completey different approach I need to take?
    The code below does remove a single instance of my custom ino panel, but I can't figure out a way to make it loop.
    var CS5panelsFolder = (Folder.userData + '/Adobe/XMP/Custom File Info Panels/3.0/panels');
    var xmask = 'myPanel*'
    var xRemove =  (Folder (CS5panelsFolder).getFiles (xmask));  // returns an array with all folders with 'VRA_beta' in the name
    for (var i = 0; i < xRemove.length; i++) var xBin = (Folder (xRemove[i]+'/bin').getFiles());
    for (var i = 0; i < xRemove.length; i++) var xLoc = (Folder (xRemove[i]+'/loc').getFiles());
    for (var i = 0; i < xRemove.length; i++) var xRes = (Folder (xRemove[i]+'/resources').getFiles());
    for (var i = 0; i < xRemove.length; i++)
        //Loop through array of xBin files and remove them
        for (var i = 0; i < xBin.length; i++) File(xBin[i]).remove();
        //Loop through array of loc files and remove them
        for (var i = 0; i < xLoc.length; i++) File(xLoc[i]).remove();
        // Loop through array of resource files and remove them
        for (var i = 0; i < xRes.length; i++) File(xRes[i]).remove();
        // remove manifest file
        for (var i = 0; i < xRemove.length; i++) File(xRemove[i]+'/manifest.xml').remove();
    for (var i = 0; i < xRemove.length; i++)
    // Remove now empty xBin folder
        for (var i = 0; i < xRemove.length; i++) Folder(xRemove[i]+'/bin').remove();
    // Remover now empty loc folder
        for (var i = 0; i < xRemove.length; i++) Folder(xRemove[i]+'/loc').remove();

  • What will I lose by removing a folder and then resynchronizing?

    I am having a problem editing files that I imported into Lightroom from my photoshop elements 6 catalog. The details of what I've gone through are in the thread titled: Problem with "Edit in Photoshop" and Lightroom 2.1 failing to import new file
    I think I have a work-around, but it involves writing the meta-data of all files out to disk, removing the folders from lightroom, and then re-importing them.
    When I do this, I know I will lose some information. I want to know if I will lose more than I'm expecting.
    I expect I'll preserve any changes I've made to any files. I also expect I'll preserve all my keywords and that the keyword hierarchy will still be intact. These are the most important things.
    I expect I'll lose my stacks. This is an irritation, but I think I'll be able to recover using automatic stacking by picture time. If I do this, how will the program choose which picture goes at the top of the stack? I have to experiment with this feature before I pull the trigger.
    I also expect I'll lose any editing history of any pictures I've edited since I brought them into lightroom. This isn't a big deal for me -- I've only edited a hundred or so pictures in the week or so that I've been playing with lightroom.
    So am I missing anything? Is there anything important I'll lose by this procedure?
    Thanks for the input.
    Doug

    .....and with any stack open, right click the image you want to be at the top of the stack and select it.

  • Exchange 2010: Remove high available mailbox database error

    Hello everyone,
    I have a two node DAG exchange 2010 and recently split one mailbox database into two databases. 
    Now when removing the original database I get the following error:
    Please provide specific details.
    The following was done thus far:
    Deleted all softdeleted items
    this is not the default mailbox database
    Suspended the second mail server and removed it from mailbox, leaving now just one mail server attached to the mailbox database.
    Help

    Try to check mailbox import request is there or no by this command. Get-MailboxImportRequest. If you can see any requests listed. Remove it by this command Get-MailboxImportRequest | Remove-MailboxImportRequest.
    Thanks, MAS
    Please mark as helpful if you find my comment helpful or as an answer if it does answer your question. That will encourage me - and others - to take time out to help you.

  • Remove default mail database

    Dues to the size of my default mailbox database I created two new mail box databases and moved (using EMC) the existing user mailboxes from the default mailbox into the two new ones (half in each new database). That left me with the Discovery Search
    Mailbox which I loved (using EMC) to one of the new databases. Am I now safe to remove the default database or is there something further that I need to do first? I read something about arbitration mailboxes but don't know what those are or if they are
    already handled by moving my user mailboxes and the Discovery Search mailbox. When I run "Get-Mailbox -Database" against the default database it shows no objects. I think I'm ready to remove the default database but am nervous about doing that without
    checking first.

    Hi Don,
    Hope you are doing well.
    there is nothing wrong in removing your default database but there are few steps / precautionary measure that you need to take before you remove your default database and those are as follow.
    Move Arbitration Mailboxes
    Move Discovery Mailbox
    Move User Mailboxes
    Move Archive Mailboxes
    If you miss out anything and if you try to remove the Default Database you might face a popup with an Error.
    Microsoft Exchange Error

    Get-Mailbox -Arbitration | NewMove-Request -TargetDatabase "xxxx" ==> This command will get all the arbitration mailboxes and move them to new database to which you want to move.
    Get-Mailbox -Filter { RecipientTypeDetails -eq "DiscoveryMailbox" } | new-moverequest -targetdatabase xxxxxx ==> This command will move the discovery mailbox to your new databse.
    You can move the user mailbox from Admin Center or EMS by using the following command.
    New-moverequest -identity abc@xyz -targetdatabase "xxxx"
    Once you are done with the move of all user, discovery and arbitration mailboxes, dismount the database for couple of days to see if there is still any impact on production (It will not have any impact but best practice is to dismount your database first
    and then remove it after couple of days). If you don't have any issues with your production after dismounting the default database, remove it after 2-3 days. Thanks.

  • CAS restart and Mailbox database dismount unexpectedly somtimes

    Get-MailboxDatabaseCopyStatus "Mailbox Database 01"
    Name Status
    Mailbox Database 01\EX01 Healthy
    Mailbox Database 01\EX02 Mounted
    "Mailbox Database 01" copy on EX02 is dismounted, of course the other copy on EX01 is mounted automatically

  • How do I Change the default mailbox on SBS 2011

    I have created 3 other mailbox databases to help manage users mailboxes "Size".  I now have a front office, Sales and Executive databases.  All of these have different settings as far as send/receive limits and total size limits.
    When I create a new user on the network, it would be nice to have the wizard select one of the new mailboxes as a default.  I no longer use the original mailbox database, and it is still eating up just under 200GB of my HDD space on my server. 
    I would like to ultimately remove it from the server all together.  Currently I have had it dismounted for a couple weeks now with no issues with users missing any information.  I would like to remove the old database but I am afraid that when I
    go to add a new user it will not do it correctly as the "Default" database is missing. 
    Can anyone suggest the best process to handle this?
    Thanks in advance for any help provided.
    RB

    Hi RB,
    I will agree with Al. There may be no much you can do.
    The
    Add a New User wizard will retrieve the mailbox database name. For this purpose, it looks for the registry key
    MailboxDatabaseName under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\SmallBusinessServer\Messaging.
    However, SBS is an integrated solution. There may be more relevant background operations (configurations) for
    the wizard and mailbox database. In addition, please refer to following similar thread and check if can help you.

    If any update, please feel free to let us know.
    Hope this helps.

  • Litigation Hold, Single Item Recovery, & Mailbox Database Deleted Items Retention

    Hello
    I'm looking for a simple explanation of how the three features mentioned in the subject line interact and affect one another.
    Specifically, I'm after the answer to the following question:
    If a users mailbox has litigation hold enabled, and the mailbox database it lives on has a deleted items retention value of 365 days, does that users "Recoverable Items" get deleted after 365 days, or does litigation hold, as I supspect bypass the retention
    value?
    If Single Item Recovery is enabled for said user as well, and added to the scenario above - how does this affect the retention of the deleted items?
    I cannot find a definitive article that describes mailbox database deleted items retention, litigation hold and single item recovery and their behaviours when used together.
    Regards
    Matt
    Matt

    Hello again,
    Just wanted to open this thread up again, and gain some further clarification, specifically on the behaviour of items in "Recoverable Items\ Deletions" folder.
    In the following scenario how will items be processed:
    -SingleItemRecoveryEnabled -True
    -LitigationHoldEnabled - True
    -UseDatabaseRetentionDefaults -True
    -Items in the Deletions folder have passed the retention value date as specified on the database.
    Given the parameters above, when the I run the Managed Folder Assistant against a mailbox, I'm expecting to see the items in the Deletions folder move, and be placed in Purges folder.
    This is not happening however, items are only removed from the Deletions folder when LitigationHold is disabled. Then, items bypass the Purges folder altogether and are removed from the mailbox/database altogether.
    I referred to the article below for clarification:
    http://blogs.technet.com/b/exchange/archive/2009/09/25/3408389.aspx#_Short-Term_Preservation_of
    "...the message was not purged from the mailbox store. Instead the message was moved from the Recoverable
    Items\Deletions folder to the Recoverable Items\Purges folder. All store hard-deleted items end up in this folder when single item recovery is enabled. The Recoverable Items\Purges folder is not visible to the end user, meaning that they do not see data retained
    in this folder in the Recover Deleted Items tool.
    When the message deletion timestamp has exceeded the deleted item retention window, Records Management will purge the item."
    Can anyone assist in explaining the behaviour I'm observing?
    I'm in a transition period where by our organisation has been journalling all
    email to an Online service since 2008 and this service will continue to be used solely as our archiving and compliance mechanism.
    Since Exchange 2010 was adopted by the company around 18 months ago, the previous mail administrator had litigation hold enabled on all mailboxes
    from the outset, so I'm in the position now where by I have two retention methods running side by side.
    Long story short, the online archiving will be used moving forward and litigation hold will be disabled within Exchange. 
    What I want to do is transition from long term data
    preservation inside Exchange, to short term preservation - hence the reason for now enabling SIR.
    Currently I have mailboxes with 10's of GB's of mail sat in the "Recoverable Items\Deletions" folder, and very little, if anything in some
    cases, in the respective "Purges" folder.....
    Can anyone advise on a "correct" procedure for making this transition?
    Regards

  • I want ro remove all of the default Firefox bookmarks. There are way too many and none of which are usefull to me. I would like to make my old IE Favorites folder the default. How can I do this?

    I need to remove the default Firefox bookmarks.
    There are way too many and none of which are usefull to me.
    Also, I am vision impaired and reading through such a long list is very eye-fatigueing to me.
    I would like to make my old IE Favorites folder the default. How can I do this?

    Did you import an iPhoto Library from the old Hard Drive? Do you still have that old Library?
    The way to clear out a Library is to Export the photos - Apps like iPhoto2Disk or PhotoShare will help you export to a Folder tree matching your Events.
    For the annoying start-up message:
    Go to your Pictures Folder and find the iPhoto Library there. Right (or Control-) Click on the icon and select 'Show Package Contents'. A finder window will open with the Library exposed.
    Look there for a Folder called 'Import' or 'Importing'.
    Drag it to the Desktop. *Make no other changes*.
    Start iPhoto. Does that help?
    If it does then look inside that folder on your desktop. Does it contain anything you want? If not you can trash the folder.

  • Remove mailbox database copy from DAG

    Hi There,
    We would like to remove the mailbox database copy from our exchange server as we are lack of the space on our fixed vhd and we hope to be able to free about 100GB from the passive database copies as we have deployed DAG. is there any guidelines or procedures
    to safely remove the database copies? currently, we have 4 mailbox servers, HQMB01, HQMB02, SSMB01, and SSMB02. HQMB01 and HQMB02 is already part of DAG members by itself. however, on ssmb01 and ssmb02, we also add in HQMB01 and HQMB02 as the DAG member,
    thus they can fail over to HQMB01 or HQMB02 if their server have issue. in this situation, SSMB01 and SSMB02 passive copies is also inside our HQMB01 and HQMB02. As the our HQMB01 and HQMB02 is lack of the disk space and we would like to remove SSMB01
    and SSMB02 from the DAG, thus we could remove the passive database copies. The following is the picture of the activation preference for all servers. what is the procedures and the guidelines to remove mailbox database copy and also remove the server from
    the DAG members? we are quite confuse and worry that after we are removing wrongly and cause the active database to lost as we understand that there is replication happening between them. as we have 4 mailbox servers from which server we should perform
    the task? Wish to get some advises from the exchange guru from this forum. we are on exchange server 2010 sp1 and windows server 2008 R2.Thanks so much.

    Hi Exchange Guru,
    thanks so much for the prompt response..i have few queries to ask following your guidelines above:
    1. from the show result above, I am still confuse which server that I should go to remove as this is involving 4 database copies. from what I understand from the truncation or replay lag times of SSDB01 and SSDB02, I can see that HQMB01 and HQMB02 are on
    the third and fourth preference, which means that SSDB01 and SSDB02 will be able to failover to each of them when there is a failure and it cause the passive copies of both of SSDB01 and SSDB02 to be stored in the HQMB01 and HQMB02. what my purpose
    is to remove both SSDB01 and SSDB02 passive copies in HQMB01 and HQMB02. in this case, should I login to SSDB01 or SSDB02 mailbox servers to perform the removal with your guidelines above?
    2. is the command as below:
    Remove-MailboxDatabaseCopy -Identity SSDB01\HQMB01 -Confirm:$False
    Remove-MailboxDatabaseCopy -Identity SSDB01HQMB02 -Confirm:$False
    Remove-MailboxDatabaseCopy -Identity SSDB02\HQMB01 -Confirm:$False
    Remove-MailboxDatabaseCopy -Identity SSDB02\HQMB02 -Confirm:$False 
    will this cause the risk either of my HQDB01, HQDB02, SSDB01, and SSDB02 active copies accidentally  being removed? I am sorry that I am a bit naggy and always want a confirmation as this is very critical and I must be super careful.
    3. If after the removal successful, when is the best time to go to the drive where the passive copies stored and remove them so I can clear some space on  my disk? and is it just as simple by going to the drive and do a folder file deletion manually?
    because I just worry when I delete the file and the server is still replicating between each other, which will cause even corruption to the active database.
    4. From point 3, you mention about when the server is empty. what do you mean by that? do you mean that when the passive copies are no more there? and what command that I used to check?
    5. From point 4, is removing the server from DAG the last step to be performed? yes, I want to remove them from DAG, thus will left only HQMB01 and HQMB02 as one DAG and SSMB01 and SSMB02 as one DAG.
    Thank so so much for your patient and attention.
    Regards,
    Henry
