I have a mixed 2007/2003 environment. Unfortunately I added a public database in the same storage container as the private database which is preventing me from using SCR. I have used the move command to move it to a second 2007 server but the public database is still on the primary 2007 server. Using the tools on 2007to remove the individual folders ends up removing it from all the servers. I would prefer not to back up the public folders and then put them back to avoid redoing the permissions.1) Will the following commands remove the public database ONLY FROM THE ONE SPECIFIED2007 Server? Get-PublicFolder -Server HNLEX01 "\" -Recurse -ResultSize:Unlimited Remove-PublicFolder -Server HNLEX01 -Recurse -ErrorAction:SilentlyContinueGet-PublicFolder -Server HNLEX01 "\Non_Ipm_Subtree" -Recurse -ResultSize:Unlimited Remove-PublicFolder -Server HNLEX01 -Recurse -ErrorAction:SilentlyContinue 2) Is there a method to MOVE the public folder database to a second storage container on the same server (as opposed to just changing the path of the database?Thanks in advance.%3

Hi,1. Just create the Public Folder database on the other server and run the following script: MoveAllReplicas.ps1 in Powershell. The script can be found in the default directory scripts under the exchange directory. Once everything is replicated you can remove the original DB. See : http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb331970.aspx2. From what I know there is no other option as you can't create more then 1 Public Folder per serverRegards,Johanblog: www.johanveldhuis.nl

As I noted I tried that command. Unfortunately when I tried that commandit duplicated the database but did not remove the folders.

Remove-PublicFolder is used to remove a Public Folder from the public folder hierarchy, so it wont remove only one replica Per my knowledge, theres no method to move one public folder database to another SG in the same server Troubleshooting: 1. You said that MoveAllReplica has duplicated the database, please use the method in this article to troubleshoot the issue 2. And please use Get-PublicFolderStatistics to compare the source database and target database, see if theres any difference 3. If its confirmed all public folder has been copied to the target database, we can use PFDavAdmin to remove the source server from the replica list of the moved public folders a. Download PFDavAdmin on a workstation b. Launch tool [Install NET Framework 1.1 at first] c. File->Connect d. In the Connect window, please input the following parameters, click OK: In the Exchange Server field, enter Mailbox.Contoso.com (The one has target public folder database); in the Global Catalog field, enter GC.Contoso.com Uncheck Authenticate as currently logged on user and enter Exchange Admins credential info e. Right-click one public folder, select Propagate replica list, check the source public folder server and choose Remove, click OK Notes: Please refer Managing Public Folder Replicas section in this article
