OfflineAddressBook, PublicFolderDatabase still points to old server

After migrating your Exchange server (I’ve seen this in transition to exchange 2007 and 2010) the PublicFolderDatabase for your OfflineAddressBook is still pointing to the old servers public folder store.

Recover deleted public folders Exchange 2010 with ExFolders

After someone (accidentally) deleted a exchange public folder in a exchange 2010 organization, you can easy recover the deleted folder using ExFolders. ExFolders is the exchange 2010 replacement of the PFDAVAdmin tool. ExFolders must be run on a exchange 2010 server and it can connect to Exchange 2007 or 2010.
Download the Exchange 2010 RTM ExFolders tool here and the Exchange 2010 SP1 version here.

Before you even start with the installation make sure your hardware meets the system requirements.
