Just an idea, but since the action on AD happens using the computer account of the Exchange server (local system), how is the health of that? Have you verified the computer account is still working correctly in the domain (changing its password, etc), belongs to the correct domain groups, and hasn't had its security properties in AD modified to where the server can't read its own settings?

Have you looked at the Microsoft Exchange System Objects container yet? All of your mail-enabled PFs should be accounted for in that OU. You can do an add/remove columns and choose modified date, then sort to see when your last PF was mail-enabled. The funny thing is in my case this container (for whatever reason) was no longer located at the top level of the domain where Exchange has been installed. It was within a sub-folder!! Once I moved the container back to the root level, things were back to normal. Hopefully that helps...

This is a single E2K7 server in a W2K8 domain functional level. The process appears to complete, but when I check the properties of the folder and click on the Email addresses tab, I get the following The Active Directory Proxy object for the public folder <publicfolder name> is being generated. Please try again later. It was running command 'get-publicfolder -Server <servername> -Identity <publicfolder name> Also, there is an entry in the Application log every 15 minutes for every Public Folder that is mail enabled Unable to create Public Folder proxy object for folder "PublicFolderName" in the Active Directory. All public folders that were already mail enabled when they were moved over from a E2K3 server continue to work. Exchange BPA isn't flagging anything, other than drivers. Exchange System Attendant is running under the local System account. I know this is some sort of a permissions issue with Exchange creating the DSProxy in AD, but I don't know how to fix it. ________________________________ Carol Fee Network Administrator 617-338-0623 c...@massbar.org<mailto:c...@massbar.org> [file:///C:\Documents%20and%20Settings\cfee\Application%20Data\Microsoft\Signatures\mbalogo-gold.gif] Massachusetts Bar Association 20 West Street Boston, MA 02111-1204 (617) 338-0500 --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com<mailto:listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com> with the body: unsubscribe exchangelist --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com<mailto:listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com> with the body: unsubscribe exchangelist --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com<mailto:listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com> with the body: unsubscribe exchangelist --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com with the body: unsubscribe exchangelist
