Exchange Public Folder Db removal / woes
Exchange Public Folder Db removal / woes
(OP)
I'm attempting to decommission Exchange 2010. We have one public folder DB, which at the moment contains no folders in either 'Default Public Folders' or 'System Public Folders'.
When I try to remove the Public Folder DB, it says there are replicas, so can't. When I try to query the PF DB in any way in Exchange Power Shell, I get errors:
No existing 'PublicFolder' matches the following Identity: '\'
I'm in an apparent catch-22 here. Intent is to un-install Exchange 2010, leaving nothing behind in Active Directory. Then will shut down the machine for good. Am trying not to leave any Exchange orphans in AD.
Any comments would be appreciated.

When I browse to the attributes mentioned in the above article, they are indeed empty. Perhaps public folders should have been removed first? In any case, I'm not sure what values to supply.
