Appologies if this is a duplicate. My first posting does not appear to have been made. The below is my question.
I have a similar problem to the one described below but I have not been able to find a resolution. I have one exchange server that was installed during a network outage. This server has no data on it and it appears that it never completely was installed because part of the AD infrastructure was down at the time of the install.
I need to re-install exchange but I do not have any options to do so. There is a public folder replica somewhere that is preventing me from deleting the PF database. I do not want to move this data to anywhere. I have nowhere to move these folders to as I have only one exchange server. I just need it gone so I can uninstall exchange and start over.
As far as I know there is nothing to be replicated because this server was completely unconfigured minus the base installation of exchange.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
