Exchange 2010: Public folder GUID

One of the Event in the Application log in Exchange 2010 is showing the following event 

Event id : 2028
The Delivery of a Message sent by Public Folder E0FG2CADACE66846A98A6C130CA3ER97-0000FA965FG85
has failed.\r\n To:first name, Last name\r\nCc:\r\n The Non-Delivery report has been deleted


Steps
---------
Getting which public folder is in picture finding is difficult here. 
so if you had tried this then it will not work and through's error

c:\>Get-MailPublicFolder -id E0FG2CADACE66846A98A6C130CA3ER97-0000FA965FG85 

is not showing proper error and message shows it couldn't be found



so instead of running the command using the whole Hexa-Decimal value, use the value before dash ( - ) so here in this example "E0FG2CADACE66846A98A6C130CA3ER97-0000FA965FG85"  we are going to use E0FG2CADACE66846A98A6C130CA3ER97 and to convert this value into proper GUID use the following command from Exchange management shell



c:\>[system.Guid] 'E0FG2CADACE66846A98A6C130CA3ER97'
Guid
--------
E0FG2cad-ace6-6846-a98a-6c130CA3ER97

and finally the command for getting public folder is 
c:\Get-MailPublicFolder -identity E0FG2cad-ace6-6846-a98a-6c130CA3ER97

or 
c:\Get-MailPublicFolder | Where {$_.LegacyExchangeDN -Match "E0FG2cad-ace6-6846-a98a-6c130CA3ER97"}



or using with complete GUID then you can use below command

[PS] C:\Windows\system32>Get-MailPublicFolder -resultsize unlimited | where {$_.Externalemailaddress -match "0ED914CAB4DA1243948B9AD6B0B27FDE-000000000014"}


Or to reveal the name of the public folder use the below command
[PS] C:\Windows\system32>Get-MailPublicFolder -resultsize unlimited | where {$_.Externalemailaddress -match "0ED914CAB4DA1243948B9AD6B0B27FDE-000000000014"} | Get-PublicFolder 

PS: Guid used here is only for illustration purpose only.
