Use the New-PublicFolderDatabaseRepairRequest cmdlet to detect and fix replication issues in a public folder database. While the request is running, only access to the public folder being repaired is disrupted. All other public folders are available.

Note:
After you start the repair request, you can't stop it unless you dismount the database. For more information, see Dismount a Database.
