Hello, Since you're quoting Q numbers in other posts, I'm guessing you did the steps in Q307917.
This isn't going to help you recover, but I've been moving to a new server myself and although the entire Public Hierarchy came across just fine, some Public Folder content didn't. From ESM I'd export the item count for each PF store and then go into to Excel to see how things matched up. A follow up with OUTLOOK accounts to the different stores verified some didn't sync at all, some were missing a couple messages, etc... It APPEARS that having PF virus scanning on screwed-up the initial Sync of content. For folders that didn't replicate content completely I can drop a message in the PF, and then a backfill will be fired off that evening, and everything is synced up (I'm running with PF Virus scanning turned off currently). FWIW, Brent -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Erick Thompson Posted At: Wednesday, September 17, 2003 5:00 PM Posted To: MS Exchange List Conversation: Public folder Errors Subject: Public folder Errors First, a little background. I installed Exchange 2000 on a new LAN server, which was the only server in the domain. After some testing, we realized that the server would become quickly overloaded. So, I moved a new server into the domain, made it a domain controller, and installed Exchange but did not transfer the FSMO roles (the first DC is still the file/print server). I moved all the mailboxes over, and turned on replication for the public folders (but I missed some). After a day, I removed Exchange from the first server. However, I think the removal did not go cleanly, as I'm now running into a bunch of errors. Someone on the Exchange gets the following error in Outlook (2000). "Unable to update public free/busy data". I've taken a look at the server, and it appears the public folder that stores the info (can't remember the name at the moment) is gone. How can I recreate it? In the event log, I have the error 9127 from MSExchangeSA: "OALGen encountered error [0x80004005] while calculating the OALs." This appears to be due to the lack of a Offline Address Book (OAB). How can I recreate it? User created public folders are only available in System Manager on the server, not on any workstation with Exchange tools installed. System Manager on a workstation doesn't display any public folders (including Internet Newsgroups) under First Admin Group->Folders->Public Folders. Under First Admin Group->..->Public Folders Store->Public Folders, I can see the folders, but if I select them, I get "class not registered. ID no 80040154 Exchange system manager". The folders don't have much in them, so I can delete them and start over, but I'd like to know what's going on. These folders were replicated from the old server.
