Hi! I found a general purpose public folder tree, called info, that wasn't connected to anything except a store with the same name. It was probably created by the previous administrator to get a public folder called info with an external email address. Since it didn't work and was blocking me from using the desired email address (info) i decided to delete it. I tried in Exchange System Manager and it told me that i couldn't since there were replication issues. We only have one exchange server so that was a dead end. I found information on the internet/newsgroups on how to go into ADSI Edit and delete the line under "CN=Folder Hierarchies", so i did and the store and the public folder called info disappeared, but it still blocked the info address i wanted to use so i waited for a while and during the evening i rebooted the server. Today the store is back, but not the public folder. I cannot delete it in ESM, i cannot mount it to create new database files, i cannot mount it with the "correct" database files that i kept a copy of after having deleted the store. I really would like to remove the store "Info". Any suggestions? Regards /Fredrik
Solved it. Found the store under CN=Services/CN=Microsoft Exchange/CN=Exchange Organisation/CN=First Administrative Group/CN=Servers/CN=Server/CN=Information Store/CN=First Storage Goup and on the right I saw CN=Mailbox Store, CN=Public Folder Store and CN=Info so I deleted Info and now I can use the address I wanted and I have no warnings in event viewer and a cleaner installation of Exchange.
