Fix
===
Find the offending Public folder through ADSIEDIT, find attribute msexchowningpftree
This will be empty or not set, simply find a working PF Folder and copy the attribute, or get the Distinguised name from the "folder hierachy" object and copy this into the missing attribute.
We saw this error on 2 offline public folder stores, which were using doubletake.
Great fix easiest way to get the "folder hierachy" is to export list the folder" CN=Configuration,CN=Services,CN=Microsoft Exchange,CN=Organization,CN=Administrative Groups,CN=Administrative group, cn=Folder Hierarchies." Save it and then open it with notepad then copy the long distinguised name (The second line -third item in the list) & paste that into the attribute msexchowningpftree.
