Exchange 2010 Public Folder M: drive

Try exfolders tool from Microsoft. You need to use or run it on public folder server or server on which pf db is hosted.

Hi Amit and thanks for the reply. Would it be possible to elaborate on how to use ExFolders to export the PFs onto the filesystem? I am not familiar with this functionality. Thanks.

For exporting public folder you use outlook. Tell me your exact requirement. Exfolder is replacement for pfadvadmin.

Hi Amit, as stated in my original question I want to bounce a Public Folder tree onto the Windows filesystem (ie a network share). In the past this was possible by using the M: drive but this is gone so I need a way to export the PFs. The goal is to be able to access the PF tree & contents using Windows (File) Explorer. Thanks.

As you know, in Exchange 2010, M drive option is removed. So, in order to Export PF data you need to use Outlook. Like this:

Let me know, if that answers your query. I have other 3rd party tool option to do this, however those are paid one.

The requirement is to access the contents of the PFs through Windows (File) Explorer (like a network share which is what M: drive used to be). A PST file needs to be attached to Outlook.

What kind of 3rd party tools (paid or free) could export PFs onto the Windows filesystem?

There is no M drive concept in 2010. Other 3rd party tool also, I know, is just to export data in pst.

Same here. Which is why I am asking if anyone else knows... :-D

I ended up doing a lot of research for a solution and my comment summarizes the options.
