Public Folder Hierarchy is missing (Can't remove Public Folder DB)
tjc
my Exchange 2007 server. The database is corrupt and will not mount (even
though it is in a clean shutdown state).
The error message I am getting is below:
-------------------------------------------------------
Microsoft Exchange Error
--------------------------------------------------------
The public folder database 'Public Folder Database' cannot be deleted.
Public Folder Database
Failed
Error:
The critical property 'PublicFolderHierarchy' is missing in the
PublicFolderDatabase object 'EXCH1\Second Storage Group\Public Folder
Database'.
--------------------------------------------------------
OK
--------------------------------------------------------
Is there a way to fix this so that I can successfully remove the Public
Folder Store?

You can always remove it via adsiedit.msc

adsiedit to remove the old Exchange 2003 server from AD (thinking it didn't
need to be in there since I no longer have any E2k3 servers). After I did
that, my PF store on the Exchange 2007 server would not mount, and I can't
seem to figure out how to fix it (or even just remove it). One of the
problems I have now is that my Outlook 2k3 clients are having problems
connecting (I guess they use Public Folders for connecting.... I'm not
sure...)
I tried doing a systemstate restore to put the AD objects back in AD (which
worked fine), but now
when I try to mount the PF store, I get "MapiExceptionADPropertyError:
Unable to mount database".
