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

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.

Unable to expand public folder in Outlook 2013 and Exchange 2013 CU6

Hello,
we have just migrated Exchange 2010 to 2013. Everything works great, except public folders, which we are not able to expand in Outlook 2013. Public folders can be added to OWA without any problem, so just the Outlook 2013 is a problem (we never tried any
other version, as all the e-mail clients installed here are Outlook 2013).
The public folders are visible under node Favorities in Outlook 2013, but whenever we click any folder, the Public folders disappear completely from the left navigation pane or the message is shown on the right pane, that the public folder cannot be opened.
When Outlook is started, a dialog is sometimes opened, which contains prefilled Microsoft exchange server, mailbox, button Check name, which is disabled. The only thing which can be done with that dialog is clicking the button Ok.
Any help is appreciated, the desperation level starts to be reaching max threshold.
Kind regards,
John.

Thank you for your quick response. I have tried removing and creating new Outlook profile many times, without any effect.
1) When I switch to the online mode, only the node All Public Folders is displayed in the left navigation pane and after I start the Outlook the dialog mentioned above is displayed. The node Favourities is not visible.
2) In offline node, node App Public folders is visible and whenever I click it, message "Cannot expand the folder" is shown. After checking Download favourities, the list of public folders is available, but whenever I click any folder, it shows
"We didn't find anything to show here." and "The folder is up to date." in the bottom status bar. The content is rendered correctly in OWA and these public folders contain many e-mails and subfolders. None of these is rendered in Outlook.
Thanks in advance for any tips and inspiration, we start to run out of ideas. I am more than sure that it will be something simple, but we can't still figure it out.

Unable to set Public Folder Permissions

I have created a Public Folder Mailbox and Public Folder. When I go to set permissions via the EAC, the "User" field is grayed out...when I Browse for a user I can search and select a user, but that user is not carried over to the User field where
you would set permissions. I am unable to see ANYYONE with permissions via the EAC. However, when I access my Public Folders in Outlook 2013, I and a co-worker both have "Author" level permissions.
I am an Administrator on the system and have added myself to the Public Folders role and anything else that looked even remotely related :-o
Thanks for the help!
-Nick

Hi,
We can try settings the permission on the specific folders by using the exFolders tool:

Unable to remove mozilla folder from C:\Users\Username\Appdata\

We're trying to remove Firefox as its messing with the roaming profiles on the server,
we're unable to remove the following folders
c:\program files (x86)\mozilla firefox
c:\users\username\appdata\mozilla,
error message says need permission from administrators (we're logged in as full domain administrator)

The problem lies in the administration patches. Somewhere one or more of the security updates was missed or ignored. The admin pointers to the permissions on the stack in the HAL layer are pointing to a NULL field. This is a common problem with MS(c) based OS's. Solutions: (1) Remove and Re-apply security updates in order. (2) reload and allow the OS' to catch all the updates. (3) Scream at MS(c) until they tell you what update you missed.

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.

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.

Outlook clients are connecting to different site public folder rather than same site public folder on exchange 2010

Team,
users are unable to expand public folder from outlook, but they are able to navigate through outlook web access.
noticed the outlook connections are connected to other child domain PF server rather than local site public folder server.
due to this issue, users are unable to navigate to pf's , by restarting RPC Client access service , now users are able to connect to local public folder servers.
all the databases are pointed to local pf database. all the settings looks good.
any suggestions would be appreciated.

Hi Srinivasa,
How about OWA?
If it works in OWA, it seems an issue on the Outlook client side.
I suggest run Outlook under safe mode to avoid some AVs and add-ins.
I also suggest make sure the Outlook client has the latest patch.
Also try to re-install Outlook.
Thanks

Hi,
I have found an article said that we need to set the external host name the same. See more details in the following link:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/mspfe/archive/2013/10/21/upgrading-to-on-premises-exchange-server-2013.aspx
To allow your Exchange 2013 Client Access server to redirect connections to your Exchange 2007 servers, you must enable and configure
Outlook Anywhere on all of the Exchange 2007 servers in your organization. If some Exchange 2007 servers in your organization are already configured to use Outlook Anywhere, their configuration must also be updated to support Exchange 2013.
The following configuration is set on each Exchange 2007 server:
The Outlook Anywhere external URL is set to the external hostname of the Exchange 2013 server.

Public folder database hopelessly gone. I just want to create a new one. SBS2011, Exchange 2010

I have a client with SBS2011. They have a corrupted Public Folder Database which cannot be repaired. I don't need any data. Is there a way to delete it (when I try to, it talks about selecting a different server, I only have the one sbs2011). I just
want to create a new fresh one.
When I try to create a new one, I am told I can only have one.
Help!

Hi,
If you are trying to remove Public folder database from ADSIEdit, please back up the folder, just in case.
Or you can also try to remove Public folder database with this command
Get-PublicFolder -Server <ServerName> "\Non_Ipm_Subtree" -Recurse -ResultSize:Unlimited | Remove-PublicFolder -Server <ServerName> -Recurse -ErrorAction:SilentlyContinue
Replace <ServerName> with the name of your server.

HT1203 I moved my Itunes media folder to my public folder in my home folder so that my wife can share my music when she logs on to my computer. Since then aperture has been unable to locate the music files and I cannot add any of my itunes files to a slid

I moved my itunes media folder to my public folder in my home folder so that my wife can share my music when she logs on as a user. Since doing this Aperture cannot locate any itunes music files and so I cannot add any music to a slideshow. All of my existing slideshows no longer play music. Can anyone help?
Thanks

Thank you for your prompt response - I did as you said and did a drag and drop into the iTunes window - it imported and got my album art from the net. When I started Itunes with the shift key down I was prompted to choose a library but since I copied over the media folder and not the library folder I was unable to select that so I guess I will have to create a new library and add in all the music, videos, etc. unless I wait for my laptop and export the library or at least that seems to be the case? In short, all my data (iTunes media folder) is on my external drive and can be added to the blank iTunes screen but I can not choose a library folder. Is there anyway around completely making all those playlists again? I am not sure my laptop will survive the shop with data intact and really hate to start over on those.
In an unrelated question - I collect old TV shows from the 1950's. Can I make playlists within the home video folder somehow? In other words like one for Quiz shows, one for comedies, one for police and detective shows, etc. while I am remaking all my playlists for my music if I end up having to go that route?
Once again thank you for helping me out. I am not too Itunes savvy and really appreciate you taking the time to answer.

I've seen one other report like yours, and I think the issue is caused by a bug, but I don't know what triggers it.
Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, or by corruption of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.
