Unable to set emailAddress of a PublicFolder using Set-MailPublicF   

Hi there,
             I am facing a very strange problem on my E2K7 server While 
updating EmailAddress of a Public Folder after mail-enabling  it 
programatically.        

            I first call  Enable-MailPublicFolder  cmdlet for a newly 
created PF from my application, which succeeds. 

Immediately I call  Set-MailPublicFolder for setting email address of my 
choice but this returns me the error 

 The Active Directory proxy object for the public folder '\SalesPF' is being 
generated. Please try again later.

  [ Before it I do disable EmailAddressPolicyEnabled by calling 
Set-MailPublicFolder]

 I also turned ON all the exchange services before doing this process. 
 I am not able to understand this error, Plz let me know the solution if 
someone knows.

best regards,
Cyber Friend

Sounds to me like you need to wait for AD to finish processing and updating, 
and replicating if needed.

Hi there,
          Thanx a lot for your reply Karl but it seems to me that it is no 
an issue regarding Active Directory processing or replications bcoz
      1. I have installed all things on 1 test server, means this single 
system is DC of AD, this also contains Exchange 2K7 SP1.

      2.    I m running my application through Remoting technology of .Net, 
but when I test Mail-Enabling a PF locally (without Remoting) then all is 
going well. There is no error. But error is occuring only when I m trying to 
call Mail-EnablePF() method from Remoting. As you know For accessing Exchange 
if we use Remoting then we dont have the need of "Impersonation". Except this 
error all is going well. Even the target pblic folder is mail-enbaled but 
When I try to modify its email address using
Set-MailPublicFolder Cmdlet then this nasty error is occuring. Also I tried 
to mail-enable a PF (through Remoting) today  which I created yesterday, but 
same error is occuring today. I restarted my PC and all the services involved.
