I recently transitioned to Exchange 2007 where no one could see the public folder items (could see the tree hierarchy with all the folders). <br />
<br />
I thought since I still had the old Exchange 2003 server with all the public folders intact, I could delete the public folders in EMC 2007 and it would replicate it again. What ended up happening is that when I deleted it off of EMC 2007, it also deleted off my Exchange 2003 server. <br />
<br />
I tried to use PFDAVAdmin but it did not recover the folders. <br />
I then restored the public folder from tape backup successfully.<br />
Although the pub.edb &amp;&nbsp;pub.stm files are restored, the public folder structure is not.<br />
<br />
How do I get my public folders back?<br />
