Use the New-PublicFolderDatabaseRepairRequest cmdlet to detect and fix replication issues in the public folder database. Public folders on the public folder database can still be accessed while the request is running. However, access isn't available to the public folder currently being repaired.

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