Public Folder Stores - Do I Need to?
Hi All,
I have an opportunity to break up the existing public folder "mess" in hand with reducing the 4GB mailboxes and creating some better practices from the end users and IT.
My thinking is to break the large mess into small thus more manageable smaller stores, ultimately to aid in restoration. smaller is better?
Any issues with this, any traps to watch out for? additionally how do you get new stores once created to show in Outlook?
Please advise
We run Exchange 2003 Enterprise Server on 2003 Server.
Thanks

Hi, yes that link is of value, but you will have to migrate the system public folder from one to the other. And also remember that outlook will only show one public folder top level tree at a time.
There are problems as you have to remember to move your free/busy and any public forms as well.
It's best to carry out my idea as first mentioned - trust me it will mean less hard work and potential problems. Having said that, you can create a new public folder tree, however, you will then need to point clients to the new tree.

Do you you have a link that describes the process of pointing clients to the new tree?
Can you view multiple trees at the same time?
Thanks

Hi,
have a read through this site and it's trees
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb124189(EXCHG.65).aspx
You can't link more than one tree into outlook at a time.
You have to be careful about public folders, especially with outlook 2003 and ealier.
You configure which public folder store clients on a mailbox store users by looking at the properties of the mailbox store.
Hope this makes sense.
