jutlak -> Folder not removed from PF Instances (8.Oct.2010 5:29:06 AM)
|
We had lots of Public Folders replicating from a Exchange 2003 Server to other 2007 Servers and replication is working fine. Using ESM, I removed the 2003 Server from the list of Replication Servers and all folders were gone from the Public Folder Instances as expected except for a few Calendar Folders.
In ESM if I go to the specific Pf Folder and highlight it, on the right side, I see that in the Status Window the Exch2003 server is not listed, however on the Replication window all 2 servers are listed (Exch2003 and Exch2007 Servers). Interestingly, when I look at the properties of the Folder and select the Replication Tab, I don't see the Exch2003 server listed which I can see from the other window described above. Using PFDAVADMIN, I can't see the Exch2003 server listed in the REPLICA_LIST. I also did an Export of Replica Servers using PFDAVADMIN and still can't see it listed but it still shows up on the PF Instances container.
I also added the Exch2003 Server back on as a replica and then later removed it and still same state. I can see that an Outgoing event is logged on the Exch2003 Server and can see an Incoming event logged on the Exch2007 Server but on th Exch2007 HUB Server I see EventID 1020 logged with "The store driver couldn't deliver the public folder replication message "Folder Content Backfill Response (PUBSVR@mydomain.com)" because the following error occurred: Property validation failed. Property = [{00020329-0000-0000-c000-000000000046}:'Keywords'] Categories
Error = Element 0 in the multivalue property is invalid..." logged and no Incoming event on 2003 Server.
I rebooted the server, just incase a replication thread is stuck in memory and still the issue persisted. I have dismounted the PF Store on Exch2003 server and can't see any events from any servers.
how can I gracefully remove these folders from the e2003 Server as I am in the process of decommissoning this server from our Org.
