We had a similar problem with an Exchange 5.5 server being removed, and the Mail Engineer did not give it time enough to replicate out of all the Exchange servers. So out of 13 Exchange server, 7 of them still saw the "phantom" server, with just public folder information. I worked with MS for weeks on trying to get rid of this "phantom" server. Their last suggestion was to put up an Exchange server with the same name, etc., let it replicate throughout the system so all 13 Exchange servers saw it, and then delete it and wait for it to replicate out of the system. I said "yeah, right -- who has the time or resources to do that." As it ended up, we put in another Exchange server with the same name, etc., for something else, I don't remember what it was for. When we removed it from the Org, it replicated out of all the Exchange servers. So now it is gone. So you are either stuck with what was leftover, or I think the above will probably be the answer to your problem.

The folders don't appear in the 'Instances' window even if I run the DS/IS consistency adjuster.
