Martin, I just went through this EXACT same issue with our Exchange 5.5 to 2003 upgrade. We use several mail enabled PF's in our organization, and after replicating the folders to Exchange 2003 and pointing the PF home server in Exchange 5.5 to be the 2003 server, all mail enabled PF's stopped working. I worked on this for 3 days before calling Microsoft PSS. They indicated that for PF's to receive e-mail, the Anonymous account must be given 'Contributor' rights. Long story short, the Anonymous account should have been given these permissions by default but were not. Microsoft PSS provided me with this great utility called PFDAVADMIN 2.3. This tool is not publicly available, but it works much like PFADMIN in 5.5. I was able to reset all permissions on all folders in one move. If you can get your hands on this tool, it will do just about anything for you regarding Exchange 2003 PF's. Regards, Chris -----Original Message----- From: Michael B.

Hmmmm. Hmmmm. I would tend to CHANGE the mail and proxyAddresses attributes in the object, as opposed to deleting the object. That will free them up for you, but should not generate replication errors later. The targetAddress would remain a constant, so Exchange and ADC should still be able to locate the folder as necessary. Just my best guess-since it's just one folder, it's probably not worth spazzing out over, but if it were more I'd really want to dig into what's going on.

I see it in ADSI edit. Its under MS Exchange system objects folder. Should I delete it from there? -----Original Message----- From: Mark Fugatt [mailto:markfu@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Wednesday, May 11, 2005 5:17 AM To: [ExchangeList] Subject: [exchangelist] RE: Frigin lyris - Deleted PF still showing up in GAL http://www.MSExchange.org/ Hi Martin So if you search AD for the email address, does anything show up. Can you delete it using ADSIEDIT?

During this migration we discovered a troublesome PF that was mail enabled that could no longer receive internet mail. So I had the brilliant idea to delete the PF and recreate it. I deleted the PF. All references are gone in both ExAdmin and ESM. The PF is gone from the OL view as well. BUT the PF still exists in the GAL and wont go away. I cant recreate the PF because I need the email addresses from the original one, and its still hanging around somewhere. How can I get rid of this reference? ------------------------------------------------------ List Archives: http://www.webelists.com/cgi/lyris.pl?enter=exchangelist Exchange Newsletters:
