HI,

i'm currently trying to find a sollution to this problem:

My System connsist of an SBS 2011 Server with an active exchange 2010 (UR30). The Customer is a heavy public folder user and now im tasked to delete a specific mail adress from this PF.

Im unable to delete the folowing mail adress:

service@customer.com

I found this page from Microsoft (https://video2.skills-academy.com/de-de/powershell/module/exchange/set-mailpublicfolder?view=exchange-ps) and i assume thet scenario 3 is exactly what im supposed to use to delete said mail adress from the PF.

But what is the correct syntax to use ....

What is "-identity" supposed to be?

I tried it a couple of times with different settings but i can't figue out what im suppsed to put there

This is the current layout of the PF. The Red Arrow is what i want gone

The Goal should be:
Delete the PF (or mail adress service@) from the PFD so i can create a new independant mail adress that is not associated with the PF

Thank you :)

    Hi @BR0KK ,
    if you want to just remove one email address and leave the PF mail-enabled, then yes, you can use that method.
    You could use EMC there and remove it as well. EMC has some weird quirks with the navigation. If you click on the parent folder, the child folder "Service" should then display on the right-screen and you can highlight it , go to properties and edit it to remove the email address.

    It will look like this:

    Then highlight the folder and under properties, remove the email address, or mail-disable the entire folder if you want.

    If that doesnt work:
    Method 3, yes:
    Set-MailPublicFolder -Identity MyPublicFolder -EmailAddresses @{remove="MyPublicFolder@fabrikam.com"}

    Identity is the path to the public folder. You can get that from the properties of the folder itself.

    The Identity parameter specifies the GUID or the name of the public folder that represents a specific public folder. You can also include the path in the format \ TopLevelPublicFolder \ PublicFolder

    or the GUID

    If i click on this folder service@ in the EMC i do not get any options. Same goes for the folder info@

    If i click on the folder "default public folder" i get some options on the right side and a new view opens up:

    In this new overview i assume i can delete the folder service@ from the public folder?
