Cannot remove public folder database
Topic Last Modified: 2010-10-18
Microsoft® Exchange Server 2007 Setup cannot continue because the Uninstall Mailbox Server role process cannot remove the public folder database from the local server without potential data loss.
Exchange 2007 Setup requires that the public folder database be removed from the server before the Mailbox Server role is removed.
Public folder replicas might remain on the server, or the public folder database might be the last in the Exchange organization.
To resolve this issue, move or delete the public folder database on the server, and then rerun Exchange Server 2007 Setup.
