Exchange 2007 Public folders removal
Posted on 2013-01-03
Migrating to Exchange 2010 hosting all 3 roles from 2007 single box also holding all roles. In process of moving mailboxes over. I am trying to remove public folders from the 2007 box as we no longer have any clients older than 2007. When I try to remove the public folder database I get a message saying "The public folder database contains folder replicas".
When I run Get-PublicFolderStatistics
[PS] C:\Windows\System32>Get-Pu
Name ItemCount LastAccessTime
---- --------- --------------
EX:/o=Company Name/ou=Exchange Ad 0 1/3/2013 8:13:15 AM
ministrative Group (FYDIBOHF23SPDLT)
StoreEvents{EA9DB63F-1D06-
357DBB78}
It will not let me delete these 2 items, as I believe is necessary to removing the public folder database.

When I go to ADSI edit I see the
CN=Second Storage Group
CN=Public Folder Database
There is nothing under the public folder database container. Do I delete the "Public Folder Database"?
--------------------------
When I go to my Exchange 2010 Server and click on any of the mailbox databases, it lists
2007server\second storage group\public folder database
It will let me browse for another public folder, but as stated, I don't want to use public folders. Will deleting the entry in ADSI remove this entry?

Yes delete the entry "CN=Second Storage Group" or "CN=Public Folder Database" and simply restart the IS service on the server

I was able to solve by going to the public management console and removing replication on any remaining items. I reran the remove command within the 2007 console. I then received the error that it could not be deleted because it was created with a newer version of exchange.
From Exchange 2010 Shell

If Public Folder Database name is correct than run
