Trying to remove an exchange server and keep getting the message above. I've moved all replica's and amde sure everything is empty but it keeps giving me the error. Even tried to follow the instructions it links too. But i can't get it to remove the Offline address book folders even though they are now somewhere else.
Any ideas on what i'm doing wrong??

Okay when i run get-publicfolderstatistics
Everything is empty except a folder called exchangeV1 never heard of it??
We do have a 2003 Exchange folder could it be coming from there?

@Akhater didn't need to as it was being replicated to the one were removing from the 2003 server. So i switched replication off.
open the EMC -> toolbox -> Public folder management and see if y ou see this exchangev1
right click properties replciation and check if it is still replicated to you 2007 if so remove it

Yeah done that and its sorted i ended up using the ADSIEdit option you suggested simply because we've been going round for a few days and we wanted it over and done with.
Now to run Best Practice and such to see what mess doing it has done.
Thanks for the help Akhater
