Public Folder Replicas Prevent Uninstall Exchange 2007

  • 项目

When you try to uninstall Exchange 2007 from your server, you may receive some error messages which indicate that there is still some Public Folder on the machine thus meaning the uninstall process fails. We have received a lot of these issues recently. It is caused by the Exchange 2007 server containing some public folder replicas. We should remove the replicas as well as the public folder store before we can uninstall Exchange 2007 properly.

For the detailed steps to remove public folder replicas and the public folder store, please refer to the following article.

    The KB only says how to move replicas to another server. Not remove them completely if you are permanently removing exchange.

    Do these steps only remove the Replicas on that one Public Folder server, or do these steps remove the folders from ALL Public Folder servers?

    Just tried the commands listed and they remove the public folders and their content from all replicas not just the server being decomissioned! I know how to remove the server from the replica lists of the folders - that works fine and aftwer ~15 mins the folders are removed only from the server to be decomissioned. However what is left behind is the IPM_Sub_Tree folders - how do you deal with these? Isn't E2007 Fun!

    I have the same issue listed above.  The scripts given, I believe, remove all public folders in the organization.  I am interested only in getting the system folders off one this one system so that I can remove the public folder store.  I don't want to harm any other servers.  Does anyone have a fix for that?

    Caution:   The Remove-PublicFolder cmdlet will remove the public folder data from all servers in your organization. If you only want to remove data from one server, use the Set-PublicFolder –replicas command. For more information, see Set-PublicFolder.

    EricB, you're right that's exactly what's happening here too. every time we run these commands it completely delete all the public folders in the organization. then i had to use ExFolder to recover the folders. I've yet to find a true method to remove the replicas from only the Exchange 2007 machine. Please if anyone have more info, please share. Thanks

    Like most of my posting, shortly after posting it, I found something that actually worked. It  required to delete something from ADSI EDIT. but worked like a charm.. telnetport25.wordpress.com/.../quick-tip-removing-exchange-2007-error-with-public-folder-replicas

    For those of you who do not want to remove the public folder but just want to remove the replica, you can do this using the Public Folder Management Console as explained here: technet.microsoft.com/.../bb691120(v=exchg.141).aspx
