Hello All,
Having an issue removing Public Folders entirely. Here's the scenario:
- We have two sites, each site has their own CAS, Hub, Mailbox on a single server.
- Each site has it's own Public Folder databases.
- Public Folder Distribution is NOT checked as a distribution method for OAB's.
Now it is my understanding that replica's first need to be removed from each of the PF's before they can be removed. This has been done. I was able to remove *most* of the folders, but all the system folders and the Internet Newsgroups folders remain and cannot be deleted. I get the following errors...
Modification of the root folder '\' is not allowed.
+ CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (0:Int32) [Remove-PublicFolder], ModificationDisallowedException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : 7D0C8FAB,Microsoft.Exchange.Management.MapiTasks.RemovePublicFolder
Cannot delete the object '\Internet Newsgroups'. Please make sure that you specified the correct identity and that you
have the correct permissions to delete it.
+ CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (1:Int32) [Remove-PublicFolder], MapiPartialCompletionException

I've read several items that state that you cannot even remove the Internet Newsgroups folder. So my questions is: How am I supposed to remove my PF databases when I can't even remove all the PF's from within them?
P.S. I refuse to use ADSIEdit
