I tried "Create public folder:" steps, but still I can't send messages to Public Folder.

In Queue Viewer, I recieve the following message.

"There is currently no route to the mailbox database"

Please tell me the way to send messages to Public Folder.

Build: 685.24

These directions do in fact work, make sure you copy and paste them into notepad and edit them before using them... the last command looks like two lines when its really one...

I have the same problem.

All of these:

- New-PublicFolder "Folder Name"

- Enable-MailPublicFolder "\Folder Name"

- Set-MailPublicFolder -Identity "\Folder Name" -EmailAddressPolicyEnabled 0

- Set-MailPublicFolder -Identity "\Folder Name" -PrimarySMTPAddress "foldername@aliasdomain.com"

is done, but the error

"There is currently no route to the mailbox database"

persists. Any suggestions?

I created a mail enabled public folder and I enabled the folder in Outlook 2007 to be moderated. When I post to the folder, my Exchange 2007 clustered environment gets dropped to it's knees. Campus wide all computers lose connection to the Exchange server and in the event viewer, connection gets lost to the Exchange Information Store Instance. The server recovers after a few seconds, but I would like to know if this is a bug or am I doing something incorrectly? Any help would be appreciated. See public folder setup below.

Nevermind, I didn't have the ENABLEEMAILADDRESSPOLICY disabled. Weird that it would take down Exchange.

For those having the issue of no route to mailbox database, the only solution I found was to completely remove the existing database and create a new one. You can simplify this by exporting and importing via PST files.

I'm having the same problem with a new install of Exchange 2007 and all the relevant updates including SP1.  Exchange thinks the Public Folder is mail-enabled but I still get the "no route" error message.  Bob, did you remove the Public Folder database or the Mailbox database?  Thanks for any time or input.  It's appreciated.

First of all "command line sucks" what were they thinking!? Is this 1960?

second, you have to stop and start the information store, after you complete the above steps
