Yeah, the “old” admin group and the “old” server are the traditional issues.
Is replication working now?

I followed the steps outline here to decommission: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg576862(v=exchg.141).aspx Pretty straight forward stuff. Everything pretty much went without a hitch, there were no error messages or anything like that. We’re running SP3, UR11 – I saw something awhile back saying to stay away from UR12. In working through this I’m seeing some public folders that were mail-enabled now are no longer that way. Strange that when I re-create them it gripes that the email address is being used. When I go into ADUC I can still see the object in the Microsoft Exchange System Objects which I have to delete to free up the email address.

Busy day, I would’ve seen this tonight. ☺ Paul, did you update 2010 to SP3 UR12 (or whatever the latest is)? How long have the supposed replicas existed on the server where you “cannot see them”? This actually sounds like two different problems, conflated. One of which is that you may have corrupt security entries in AD for the PF databases (basically that the 2003 server was not removed cleanly – was it?). The second that PF replication is failing. How did you decommission the 2003 server?

I come in this morning to find out that several of the mail-enabled Public Folders are now kicking out undeliverable messages: "There's a problem with the recipient's mailbox. Please try resending the message. If the problem continues, please contact your helpdesk." The public folders on kept on the same mailbox servers that are part of a 3 node DAG. I have public folder replication set up between 2 of those servers. On server 1 I can't see anything in the public folders in question. On server 2 I can. Google pointed me to a technet thread from 02/2010 where the "solution" was to export the data from the public folder, then create a new public folder and import the data into it. I haven't seen anything else newer, so is this my only option or has someone come up with a fix in the past 6 years? -Paul
