All,
We've recently retired our three Exchange 2003 (AU, UK and US) servers
(Exchange uninstalled and servers shut down) in favor of two Exchange
2010 servers (the UK office now doesn't have an Exchange server -
their mailboxes live on the US server). We had problems with the PFs
on the UK server, but restored them to the US PF database from a
backup, using the Lucid8 Digiscope product (which is pretty cool, BTW,
and pretty darn inexpensive for what it does.)
Prior to decommissioning the E2003 servers, I ran the following
one-liner to see the state of PF replicas, and it came back clean,
with no replicas pointing to any E2003 servers (watch the line wrap):
Get-publicfolder -recurse -resultsize unlimited |
Select Name,ParentPath,@{Name=’replicas’;Expression={[string]::join(";",
($_.replicas))}} |
Export-CSV c:\temp\PFReplicas.csv
Now, on the US E2010 server (and not on the AU E2010 server), I'm
seeing what's in the subject line, for about a quarter of our PFs.
The main text of the error is:
Error 1129 occurred while processing a replication event.
The errors are for the following three system folders:
(2-FFFFFFFF0004) NON_IPM_SUBTREE\Events Root
(5-15) NON_IPM_SUBTREE\schema-root
(5-11) NON_IPM_SUBTREE\StoreEvents{7F591F3B-8DC1-4997-8785-50576C81BB1C}
plus about 3500 out of about 12500 IPM_SUBTREE PFs. There might be
more folders with this message, but the eventlog overflows at 20mb in
about 30 minutes, and I not inclined to re-size it for this problem,
unless absolutely needed.
The errors might be related to the UK Exchange server with which we
had PF problems, but AFAICT only some of the problem PFs found in the
eventlog were on the UK E2003 server - some were only housed on the US
E2003 server.
I'm going to restart the Exchange services this evening and see if
that makes a difference, but suspect it won't.
I've been STFW for several hours, and am not seeing anything that will
let me quell the messages and/or solve the problem. The PFs are in
use, and need to remain.
Can anyone point me in the right direction on this?
Thanks,
Kurt
