We have an Exchange 2007 SP3 environment that was migrated from a 2003 only to a mixed 2003/2007 now only 2007. Recently the Global Address List will not update when we hide, move or delete users. New users that are added show up correctly. If I go into the EMC and update the Global Address List or the EMS and run the get-offlineaddressbook | update-offlineaddressbook script I get an error that it cannot find the public folder on our old Exchange 2003 server. I did migrate all public folders over to 2007 and the old Exchange 2003 servers are not available. I've read a lot of threads about to check ADSI Edit and that looks correct I've ran this "update-filedistributionservice %CAS server name%" and no change Thanks for the help Joe

Hi, have you checked which public folder database is configures for you mailbxdatabase? Get-MailboxDatabase -Identity "Mailbox Database" look for the publicfolderdatabase parameterI think your mailboxdtabase is connected to your old Exchange 2003 publicfolderdatabase. You are able to configure this parameter using the following commandSet-MailboxDatabase -Identity "Mailbox Database" -PublicFolderDatabase "PublicFolderDB1"regards Thomas Paetzold visit my blog on: http://sus42.wordpress.com

Hi, Any updates? ThanksSophia Xu TechNet Community Support

Hi Peddy, Thank for your response. Do I need to run the command on every mailbox DB? We have 16 of them 4 on each server. Or do i just need to run it on the two DBs that have the public folder DBs? For Example: For Mailserver1: Mailserver1SG1DB Mailserver1SG2DB Public folder Database Mailserver1SG3DB Mailserver1SG4DB

Hi Peddy, I ran this script on our mail server and this is the result: [PS] C:\Windows\system32>Set-MailboxDatabase -Identity "MailDB" -PublicFolderDatabase "Public Folder Database" WARNING: The command completed successfully but no settings of 'MAIL\Mail-Second Storage Group\MAILDB' have been modified.

If you only have Outlook 2007 or higher clients, I would use web-based distribution - http://blogs.technet.com/b/exchange/archive/2006/11/15/3397281.aspxSukh

Hi Sukh, Unfortanately we have clients all the way back to XP still. Thanks

If 2003 has been removed, and you still see referneces for this then it could be that one of the mbx DB are still pointing there. Can you check the OAB URL's and make sure PF replication is working. Check using Exfolder to see the OAB in the PF.Sukh

Can you run Exchange Best Practices analyzer . We might face this. When some attributes pointing to deleted objects ---Satheshwaran Manoharan | Exchange 2003/2007/2010 | Blog:http://www.careexchange.in | Please mark it as an answer if it really helps you
