Hi Preston, What about your scenario, is there any exchange 2003 or exchange 2007 in your exchange organization? Please check the public "Folder Hierarchies" container using ADSIEDIT, is there some information in it? If there is no anything, I would suggest that you could delete it, and recreate it follow below: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd335208.aspx Regards! Gavin

Hi Any update for your issue? Regards! Gavin
