However if that decision can’t be made, or they are still required for some reason, then a migration to Exchange 2013 can be performed. If they are no longer needed then removing them entirely from the Exchange organization would be simpler. I tried to remove the Public Folder from the EMC but got the error message “Exchange isn’t able to check for public folder replicas for “Public Folder XXXX” Verify that the Microsoft Information Store” is running on XXXX.This article is an excerpt from the Exchange Server 2010 to 2013 Migration Guide.Īfter moving all mailboxes from Exchange Server 2010 to 2013 we can turn our attention to the public folder migration.Īlthough Exchange Server 2013 provides support for public folders with the new modern public folders, you may wish to take this opportunity to review whether your organization needs to retain public folders at all. I didn’t know that when I tried to create the Public Folder, so it was attempting to create the Public Folder on the mailbox that was no longer used. I logged into the server that the Public Folder didn’t mount and found that there were path to two different mailboxes.
So the “created” Public Folder is showing as Dismounted. It mentioned something about the mailbox id. To my surprise, the Public Folder was created and not mounted. Scenario is that one of the mailboxes didn’t have a Public Folder configured, so I’ve tried to configure it like I did the others. However, I do need some advice about removing a Public Folder from a 4 mailboxes DAG. Greeting Paul, I’ve bookmarked all your articles and feel all your articles are very helpful to all of us. Will just uninstalling Exchange 2010 from that server remove all references to PF, never for Outlook to think about again? (no user boxes are on the 2010 machine…it’s slated for the dumpster). If I remove the PF dbase using ADSI Edit, will the Outlook Connection status test cease to look for a PF proxy? Will that line just go away? The reason I ask, if I disable the NIC on that EX2010 machine, new users being configured for NEW Outlook profiles hang while syncing data to the new OST…it say’s it’s trying, but it goes nowhere until that NIC is enabled…. We’ve since removed every public folder possible, yet I do still see in Outlook (2010) Public Folders: “Favorites” which is empty, and “all public folders” which has that dangling “…newsgroups” folder. At the moment, if I cntrl+right click on the Outlook Icon (lower right corner of the end user screen), choose Connection status, the last entry in the list is a proxy to one of the remaining 2010 mailbox servers (that was the sole PF hosting machine after migrating from 2003). I would like to COMPETELY remove the Public Folders from our exchange environment.
(Background info…we’re in a mixed 2010/2013 environment…trying to get rid of all 2010.) Launch the Exchange Management Shell and run the following command to navigate to the Scripts folder. They are located in the Scripts folder of the location that Exchange is installed.
Microsoft has provided some PowerShell scripts with Exchange Server 2010 for public folder management.

For detailed instructions about how to remove a public folder database, see. Before deleting the public folder database, remove the folders or move the replicas to another public folder database. The public folder database “PF-BR-01” contains folder replicas. The public folder database ‘PF-BR-01’ cannot be deleted. Exchange 2010 public folder database can’t be removed If you try to remove it while it still hosts replicas you’ll receive an error message. Before you can uninstall Exchange Server 2010 from a server you must remove all databases, including public folder databases.Ī public folder database can’t be removed until it no longer hosts any public folder replicas.
