Remove Multiple Public Folders from a Public Folder Database

  • Článek

 

Applies to: Exchange Server 2010 SP3, Exchange Server 2010 SP2

You can use the Shell to remove all the public folders from a public folder database.

This procedure removes all the user and system public folders from a public folder database. If you only want to remove one public folder from a public folder database, see Remove Public Folders. This procedure is required if you are removing the last public folder database in your Exchange organization. For detailed instructions about how to remove public folder databases, see Remove Public Folder Databases.

Warning

The Remove-PublicFolder cmdlet removes the public folder data from all servers in your organization. If you only want to remove data from one server, use the Set-PublicFolder cmdlet with the Replicas parameter. For more information, see Set-PublicFolder.
