XADM: Folders Deleted at Subscriber May Not Be Replicated Again

• Microsoft Exchange Server, version 5.5 SP2

SYMPTOMS

When you use the Microsoft Exchange InterOrg Public Folder Replication Tool (Exssrv.exe), a folder that is deleted at the subscriber side may not be replicated again.

CAUSE

To facilitate deletions that may not have been fully replicated, Exchange Server keeps track of folder IDs of deleted folders and does not allow that folder to be recreated. This is called a tombstone.

WORKAROUND

1. Create a new folder on the publisher side.



2. Copy all data from the original folder to the new folder.



3. Delete the original folder.



4. Begin replication of new folder to the subscriber.

MORE INFORMATION

The name of the new folder may be identical to that of the old folder, but and links or Favorites that are in use still point to the old folder and must be updated.
