asked on

create new public folder database, change path to existing public folder database

Greetings,

I asked this question and didn't get much feedback. https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/28400254/Exchange-2010-Database-shows-mounted-but-no-properties.html

My public folder database is mounted, but there are no properties. We are unable to send emails to any account on that database. We get an error that the object doesn't exist in AD. There are no error logs in AD or on exchange about this.

Can I create a new PF database and then point the path to the existing PF database? If not, can I create a new PF database then migrate the info from the current I guess corrupt PF database to the new one?

Thanks for any help. This is a real pain.

it appears the database is OK. Still can't email to it, Checked AD again and the expected objects are not there. Here is eseutil in case I missed something.
