Re: Missing public data store

How many domain controllers do you have? If you have more than one I would suggest that you use the Sites and Services MMC / NTDS Settings to replication you domain controllers. Remember that this is a push / pull operation so you will have to do it from each active directory connector.

In addition to this where there any additional events in the application log?

Attempting to mount the store gives me an error "The store could not be mounted because the Active Direc tory information was not replicated yet."

Hi,

The public folder should be generated by mounting the store and if the system folders are missing they can be recreated http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;275171

I've recently taken over the sys admin duties for a customer site. After looking through the event logs I discovered that the Exchange 2003 public data store would not mount because the store itself was missing. When I looked at the backups I found that inadequate backup processes were in place and there was no backup for me to use. I fixed the backup problem. Now, I've googled time after time looking for a way to regenerate the public folder without success.

Does anyone have a pointer to a process for regenerating the missing public store and all it's system folders?

Thanks,
Denny
