If you run the DS/IS consistency adjuster, the following events are logged in the application event log:
Event ID: 7000
Source: MsExchangeIS Public
Description:
Unable to update the directory service for the public folder
ROOT FOLDER NAME\SUBFOLDER.
Event ID: 7041
Source: MsExchangeIS Public
Description:
Error 4021 occurred while creating the directory service object for public folder
ROOT FOLDER NAME\SUBFOLDER.
CAUSE
The service account does not have Add Child permissions set at the site level for the site where the public folder server resides. If the service account does not have Service Account Administrator permissions set, and does not have Add Child permissions set for the site level, the problem described in the "Symptoms" section occurs.
RESOLUTION
Make sure that the service account has Service Account Administrator permissions set for the organization, site, and configuration levels. If the service account has Custom Role permissions set, it must have Add Child permissions set for the site level. After you set the correct permissions, run the DS/IS consistency adjuster to synchronize public folders with the directory.
NOTE: Microsoft strongly recommends that you review the
functionality of the DS/IS consistency adjuster before you use it. For additional information about the process and effects of running the DS/IS consistency
