XADM: Restore Re-populates Deleted Folders (152871)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Exchange Server 4.0
This article was previously published under Q152871 SYMPTOMS
It is possible that one or more folders that were deleted from a Microsoft
Exchange Server may return after you perform a restore from a backup. This
will happen if the folders were deleted between the time of the backup and
the time of the restore.
MORE INFORMATION
This can happen if a Microsoft Exchange Server in the Microsoft Exchange
Site has a bad folder tombstone table. The Microsoft Exchange Server being
restored might try to backfill the missing changes from the Microsoft
Exchange Server with the bad tombstone table. This will cause the deleted
folder to be returned via the backfill process.
The only workaround is to delete the folder again and let the delete
replicate throughout the Site.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Exchange Server
version 4.0. This problem was corrected in Microsoft Exchange Server 4.0
U.S. Service Pack 2. For information on obtaining the service pack, query
