I'm finishing up an E2K7 -> 2010 upgrade, and trying to de-commission a 2007 MBX server. I've moved all the PF replicas to the 2010 servers, but when I try to uninstall Exchange, it says I still have PF replicas on the server. From the EMS on that server I run get-publicfolderstatistics for that server and it says I have one PF replica on the server. When I pipe that to get-publicfolder, and dislay the replicas it says the only replicas are on the 2010 servers. I've tried re-creating a replica on the server and then removing it again, but I get the same results. How do I get rid of this thing?[string](0..33|%{[char][int](46+("686552495351636652556262185355647068516270555358646562655775 0645570").substring(($_*2),2))})-replace " "

If you're really sure that it's gone, try dismounting the PF database and renaming it. Then remount it, creating a new database. Does the get-publicfolderstatistics still show the folder on the server? --- Rich Matheisen MCSE+I, Exchange MVP --- Rich Matheisen MCSE+I, Exchange MVP

Please check the public folder replication event. The suggestions in the thread below will help Ex2003 to Ex2010 Migration - how to remove orphaned public folder replicas on Ex2003?
