The store driver couldn’t deliver the public folder replication message ” … (Public Folder Database@domain)” because the following error occurred: Cannot open mailbox ..

The store driver couldn’t deliver the public folder replication message “Status Request (PUBDB01@testlab.local)” because the following error occurred: Cannot open mailbox ..

Fancy error, yes? It comes in two other forms as well.

The store driver couldn’t deliver the public folder replication message “Status (PUBDB01@testlab.local)” because the following error occurred: Cannot open mailbox ..

The store driver couldn’t deliver the public folder replication message “Hierarchy (PUBDB01@testlab.local)” because the following error occurred: Cannot open mailbox ..

As you can see, all three are related to eachother and public folder replication.

I encountered this error in a test environment of one DC + GC and two Exchange 2010 CAS, HUB, MBX servers. Because I’m still in the progress of understanding some concepts of Exchange server I started playing with some Public Folders. Anyway… Long story made short! I started some “googling” and soon found out that I should check my Message Tracking Log. I did that and found the following: 

 432 4.3.2 STOREDRV.Deliver; retryable mailbox access denied failure

Apparently this error involves the “Microsoft Exchange Transport” service! Simply setting that service’s logon to “Local System” solved this error.

Like I said.. Story made short, because that took 4 hours of my life! Hope it helps!

    I’ve been round the internet and back. I got close on my own poking, but I’d changed the logon type on the wrong server…

    Thank You!

    That was an excellent job. I’ve got to hand it to you, pal.
    You rock.
