I was helping someone decommission their Exchange 2003 server last week. They had not used this server in quite some time. But the time had come for the role to be removed.
During the decommissioning process I ran into a number of strange errors that I had never seen before. They all revolved around Public Folders. The error occurred when I tried to access the Public Folder hierarchy in Exchange System Manager.
Here was the first error I received when I just tried to expand the root level of the hierarchy.

The fix seemed quite obvious. I opened IIS Manager, went to the Properties of the Default Website, selected the Directory Security tab and clicked the View Certificate button. It was quickly apparent that the SSL certificate had expired some time ago.
