Cannot expand public folders in IIS 7

I have recently installed an SBS 2008 server (with Exchange and IIS7). Whe I try to access/expand the "public" folder under "SBS Web Applications" I get the error "Could not find part of the path \\.\BackOfficeStorage\domain.local\Public Folders". Does any one know why and what I need to do to be able to access these?
Thanks

You are correct, I get the same error for each of the Exchange folders. The only reason I was looking at the Public folder in IIS 7 is that we have a third party application which was trying to use WebDAv to create some public folders and was failing. No error, just no folders created.

If the application doesn't give you a more specific error message, have a look in the current IIS log file (using Notepad) for the MKCOL request (which is the WebDAV verb used to create a folder), and paste the line here for us, if you find it.

Only fair that you get the points for this, even although the solution was to actually point out (tactfully) that I was looking for a solution to a problem which did not exist.

I think I managed to imply that in the last sentence of my first reply :-)  But I was happy to move on and see if I could help you with the third party application with which you were having a problem.
