Hello all,
Our disk array crashed over the weekend a while back and there was data lost while trying to write to the public folder database.
The mailbox database came right back up when I fixed the disk array, but the public folder database reported errors. I ran the repair on it and brought it back online.
The only problem I have left is that the Public Folder Management Console and EMS can't see any folders, so I can't do any kind of maintenance. Outlook, OWA, and ExAdmin can all enumerate the folder structure, but not the tools I need to create new folders,
move them, or whatever.
PFMC simply shows Default Public Folders (nothing beneath it) and System Public Folders (only EFORMS REGISTRY beneath it).

As a side note, in order to bring the database back online, I ran the repair in a subfolder, moved the path in EMC, mounted it, and then moved it within EMC back to its original location. I don't know if this would mess anything up.
Any ideas how to fix this? Google has, for once, failed me.
PFMC can create public folders, but can't see them afterwards. ExAdmin can see them right away
