Exchange 2010 you can create one public folder.

i assume you meant one public folder database, not just one public folder :)

Is public folder mail box in exchange 2013 part of dag

In Exchange 2013 Public Folders are can now be part of a DAG (and they should be) because in Exchange 2013 they are now Public Folder Mailboxes which allows Public Folders to be part of a DAG.

thanks for all reply.

I forgot to ask one question , I would appreciate if u can answer

I heard that CAS, then HUB, then MAILBOX role should be installed?

what if I install HUB first and then CAS what problem can it create.

I am talking in context of exchange 2007 , exchange 2010

Will Szymkowski

The order to install in a co-existing environment is below...
- Client Access
- Hub Transport
- Mailbox Server

The above steps is the recommended approach and should be followed. However if you install the HT role first it should create an issue.
