SYMPTOMS
Replication may not occur for one server in a Microsoft Exchange organization. For example, the public folder hierarchy and the public folder contents do not replicate to or from a server that is running Microsoft Exchange Server 5.5, Microsoft Exchange 2000 Server, Microsoft Exchange Server 2003, or Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 Service Pack 1 (SP1).

The following error message may also be logged in the Application log in Exchange 2000 Server and in later versions: Event Type: Error

Event Source: MSExchangeIS Public Store

Event Category: Replication Errors

Event ID: 3093

Description: Error -2147221233 reading property 0x67480014 on object type tbtOwningFolders from database &quot;First Storage Group\Public Folder Store &quot;

If diagnostic logging has been enabled on the Exchange server, the following event will be logged in the Application log every time that the public information store is mounted: Event Type: Warning

Event Source: MSExchangeIS Public Store

Event Category: Replication General

Event ID: 3002

User: N/A

Description: The replication agent is disabled for Public Folder Store &quot;First Storage Group\Public Folder Store (CDF17)&quot;. For more information, click http://www.microsoft.com/contentredirect.asp.



CAUSE
This issue may occur if replication for the Messaging Database (MDB) on the server has been turned off.

You can turn off replication by setting the Replication registry entry to a value of 0. By default, replication occurs if this registry entry does not exist.

This issue may also occur in the following scenarios:
 * Remote procedure call (RPC) errors occur on another Exchange 2000 or Exchange 2003 server in the site. And, the Recipient Update Service does not stamp the proxyAddresses public information store object. After you restart the server that has RPC errors, the Recipient Update Service stamps the public information store object on the new server and replication occurs.
 * An invalid GatewayProxy address generator exists. And, the Enterprise Recipient Update Service does not stamp the proxyAddresses public information store object. After you remove the invalid GatewayProxy address generator and restart the Recipient Update Service server, the new public folder information store is stamped and replication works as expected.



RESOLUTION
Warning Serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly by using Registry Editor or by using another method. These problems might require that you reinstall your operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that these problems can be solved. Modify the registry at your own risk.

To resolve this issue, delete the Replication registry entry for this MDB from the following subkey:

Note Do not delete the Replication registry entry if the following conditions are true:
 * You are using specific values for replication that are overriding the default values.
 * You want to continue to use these specific values.

You may want to compare this entry against working servers to verify that these servers do not have this entry set or to verify that this entry is set to a different value.

Use the following table to determine the decimal values for the Replication registry entry:

Note To enable the rest of the override settings for public folder replication, set the Replication registry entry to 2.



MORE INFORMATION
If you are using Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 SP1 or earlier versions of Exchange, you can follow the steps in this article to resolve issues in public folder replication. We recommend that you upgrade to Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 Service Pack 2 (SP2) to benefit from the additional functionality that is available in this service pack.
