Unable to remove public folders in Exchange 2007

  • 772

I am trying to remove a public folder database on an Exchange 2007 SP2 mailbox server so the role can be removed. I used the PowerShell script that comes with Exchange (MoveAllReplicas.ps1) to migrate the replicas to another server. I verified that they are there and removed the replicas on this server. However there are five, all seem to be related to Outlook 2003 that give me this error whenever I try and remove them:

--------------------------------------------------------
Microsoft Exchange Error
--------------------------------------------------------
Action 'Remove' could not be performed on object 'SCHEDULE+ FREE BUSY'.

SCHEDULE+ FREE BUSY
Failed
Error:
The folder '\NON_IPM_SUBTREE\SCHEDULE+ FREE BUSY' or some of its subfolder(s) encountered errors and could not be deleted.

MapiExceptionPartialCompletion: Unable to delete folder. (hr=0x40680, ec=0)

I am under a time constraint so I'm hoping someone out there will be able to help me.

    Here is a posting from technet detailing this exact issue http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en/exchangesvrgeneral/thread/46124982-7161-4241-b6e0-093cedeeda76

    Looks like using ADSI Edit to delete out the public folders was the final step needed
