Thanks. How 'bout after I'm done with all PFs? If I were to build a new Exchange 2010 box (unlikely) and not install a PF on it?

Probably :), but I like cleaning up unneeded stuff when I can. I'm not a big fan of extra cruft that I'm too scared to touch because by definition, it's something in my environment that I don't understand, and I like to understand things :) > I'd raise a case with CSS/PSS if you really want to do this. Maybe at the end of the year if I still have one of my two free cases left. But, frankly, dealing MS support lately has become more frustrating than it's worth. I've got a case open right now that's been open for weeks and we're just going round in circles explaining the problem, being assured they understand it and will call me back with a solution, only to have me re-explain the problem. Do you have any tricks for getting escalated to US based support quickly? -----Original Message----- From: Michael B.

To say that another way, if you migrate from Exchange 2003 to Exchange 2010, and you create a PF DB on Exchange 2010, you must keep a replica of the system folders in the organization. Hopefully, you have at least two complete sets of replicas. I think that your goal is likely to cause more trouble than benefit it provides. I'd raise a case with CSS/PSS if you really want to do this. Regards, Michael B.

Kinda like reducing your attack surface; I'd rather have fewer things that can use up system resources. -----Original Message----- From: Joseph Heaton [mailto:jhea...@dfg.ca.gov] Sent: Monday, July 25, 2011 5:07 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Exchange 2010 System Public Folders hmmm, if it ain't broke, don't fix it? >>> Brian Desmond <br...@briandesmond.com> 7/25/2011 3:00 PM >>> No they're probably not, but, they're probably also not causing you any problems.

For instance I have 5 OWAScratchPad and 5 StoreEvents. But, when I tried to determine which ones were active, I found that neither of my database GUIDs matched the GUIDs on the names of the public folders, which leads me to believe they're not needed at all.
