Hello, I am on my 2007 box trying to remove it and running the commands to remove any folders and system folders I get
"There is no existing PublicFolder that matches the following Identity: '\'. Please make sure that you specified the correct PublicFolder Identity and that you have the necessary permissions to view PublicFolder. At line:1 char :17" https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2621350 says to do it on the 2010 box, read remote powershell I think (I am on 2013 no 2010 here) and I get this error on there with the following command: Get-PublicFolder "\" -Recurse | Remove-PublicFolder -Confirm:$False -ErrorAction:SilentlyContinue -Server oldservername. No active public folder mailboxes were found. This happens when no public folder mailboxes are provisioned or they are provisioned in 'HoldForMigration' mode. If you're not currently performing a migration, create a public folder mailbox. I have found some other articles about a legacy attribute not set in AD and saying to mail disable the account I am trying to run the commands with. I have done that and no joy, restarted the IS on the old box too. Problem is too that a lot of these articles indicate another problem with this error is using the EMC to view the folders and getting the error above in the GUI. I can use the GUI to look at the default and system folders and they are just blank. We don't have any PF's (only had one for BES) but I presume there would be system folders still? Not sure about just trying to delete the DB as I am not sure what may linger behind in AD even though I have no intention of ever using them; my PF efficacy is not up to par I'm afraid.
