Re: Exchange Public folders problem

You can run into that if you've upgraded or migrated old stores - some prior
versions used a different default naming convention than Exchange 2003 uses.

Aha, I tried renaming the edb and stm files while offline and re-mounting
the
database. This seemed to force the creation of an empty public folder
store.
Phew!

I would still like to hear back from anyone who has a similar situation if
possible.

I have a bit of a nasty problem i hope someone can help me with:

1) Clean SBS Premium install (only a few days old)
2) Tried to restore public folders from a previous NT backup
3) Realised the DN doesnt match therefore the restored pub edb wont
mount.
4) Forgot to back up previous empty edb before step 3 and now dont have a
clean pub edb I can fall back onto.

I have managed to extract all the mail from the old edb file using
powercontrols so the data is fine, I just need to restore the clean pub
edb
to its previous state so I can manually populate it.

I was hoping this would be a problem for CEICW and it would save the day
but
it looks like it wont be that easy.

Therefore, does anyone know how to restore the public folders on Exchange
2003 to their "factory" state as such (without having a backup)?

And before anyone points it out, I know step 4 was very much dumb...
