Restore a deleted Public Folder from a user's mailbox
In situations where a Public Folder created in a user’s mailbox (not the Administrator’s mailbox) is backed up and then deleted before it’s restored, the user will not see the folder after the restore due to a change in ownership. For security reasons, the system assigns the ownership of the restored folder to the Administrator. Therefore, the user will not see the restored folder unless the Administrator changes the permission back to the user. The Event Viewer will issue the following message to notify you of this condition:
"Warning: Please manually set folder [...] permission."
If you want the user to be able to view that folder after the restore, which would normally be the case, then the Administrator must manually set the folder permission back to the ownership of the user.
Completed with one or more errors
Restore jobs from Exchange Public Folder Agent are displayed as "Completed w/ one or more errors" in the Job History in the following cases:
- During the restore, if few folders cannot be restored and the remaining folders are restored successfully, then the restore job is considered to be Completed w/ one or more Errors. It is possible that the restore process could not access the folder hierarchy, or that some of the messages were not restored because of MAPI errors.
