Running into some public folder replication issues (system folders - specifically not getting Free busy info to sync between legacy 2003 server and new 2010 servers). When examining replication info from the 2010 server boxes public folder tools snapin, I found that when double clicking on the "EX:/o=CompanyName/ou=First Administrative Group" and then clicking on the "Exchange General" tab, I get the error
"The properties on this object have invalid data. If you click OK, default values will be used instead and will be saved if you do not change them before hitting Apply or OK on the property page. If you click cancel, the object will be displayed read-only and corrupted values will be retained."
Click OK causes no changes to the fields shown. however, if I try to navigate away from the Exchange General tab, another error comes up stating "Some controls are not valid" and then continues to mention acceptable characters in the Alias field. The alias field is set to "Schedule+ Free Busy Information - First Administrative Group" The name contains no characters that are not listed as valid, so I'm confused and scared to click apply/ok. Anyone run into this? I should also mention that when the second error occurs, a red circle with an exclamation point appears next to the alias field.
This is a production environment so I'm hesitant to make unknown changes, especially not being able to find the issue documented. I've found other issues related to the some controls are not valid, but don't apply to this situation - mostly related to public folder size changes.
