Hi I've recently migrated from Exchange 2007 to Exchange 2010, and everything went fine, or a least I thought. I had all public folders replicated to the new server, and everything looked fine. Now I've come to realize, that the \NON_IPM_SUBTREE\OFFLINE ADDRESS BOOK and \NON_IPM_SUBTREE\SCHEDULE+ FREE BUSYwas not replicated to the new server. The old server was uninstalled, so there is no way of going back and undoing this. I cannot add the new server to the replication, because the folder does not exist in it's public folder, so an update OAB results in a failure. OABGen encountered error 80004005 (internal ID 50101f1) accessing the public folder database while generating the offline address list for address list '/'. - \Default Offline Address Book encountered error 80004005 while cleaning the offline address list public folders under /o=ORG/cn=addrlists/cn=oabs/cn=Default Offline Address Book. Please make sure the public folder database is mounted and replicas exist of the offline address list folders. No offline address lists have been generated. Please check the event log for more information. - \Default Offline Address Book I get one of these for every address list. I guess, that if I could delete the System Public folders, and recreate them I would be fine, but it won't let me. How do I fix this? Thanks Sebastian

Did you use ADSIEDIT to delete the public folder store?! [ snip ] >How do I fix this?

We used moveallreplicas script, and everything looked fine. We have the same issue with 3 different Exchange servers in 3 different org.

So you were able to just select the public folder database in the EMC and delete it? There were no warnings? Or did you uninstall the server and got no warnings that there were still replicas in the public folder database? >We have the same issue with 3 different Exchange servers in 3 different org. If the system folders weren't replicated I'm not surprised. I'm somewhat surprised that you didn't notice the problem and stopped uninstalling servers (or public folder databases) until you figure out what was happening. --- Rich Matheisen MCSE+I, Exchange MVP --- Rich Matheisen MCSE+I, Exchange MVP

Hi Rich I don't recall there being any errors regarding the public folders. As soon as everything was replicated. "Public folder structure" not system public folders we could delete the public folder database and uninstall the servers. We did not use ADSI Edit. But of course we did not check if the system folders were replicated. What ever caused it doesn't matter as much as how I clean up. Can I some how delete the System public folders, and recreate them? Thanks Sebastian

Can I some how delete the System public folders, and recreate them? Yes, you can. See the URL in my first response to recreate the system folders. --- Rich Matheisen MCSE+I, Exchange MVP --- Rich Matheisen MCSE+I, Exchange MVP

Oops, I did not see that in your first post. I'll try it out. Thanks.
