Creating a shortcut link to a public folder object. Is it possible?

I have never done this before and never had a reason to until now. I am wondering if there is a way to have a link to a Public Folder object such as an email with attachments sent to users that have Outlook 2010. The reason I am doing this is because we
send out daily emails with attachments to all users and since Exchange 2010 no longer supports single instance storage, these emails are consuming too much database space. I want the department sending these emails to just send a single copy to a public folder
and then send a link to that email to all users. Is this even possible?

Hi,
From my research, from Exchange 2007 and later version, the url to access public folder is no longer simple and clear as it in Exchange 2003. The hyperlink is long and complicated with a series of number and letter in the end.

I’d recommend you put files on a shared platform for long-term.

How to create a dynamic link in a Form to link to a specific FOLDER

Hello,
I have created a reports of all employees of my department.
This reports shows me the empno and ename
When I clicked on a empno ( for example empno = 1 ) then then I got a MASTER DETAIL FORM about that employee(empno = 1) .
Who he or she is and which course he or she had followed.
I want create a dynamic link in the MASTER DETAIL FORM which shows me directly the folder of that employee ( in this example folder 1 ).
If I clickt on the report with all employees of my department on an other number ( for example empno = 3333333) then if I click on the dynamic link in the MASTER DETAIL FORM I want to see the folder of employee 3333333 !!! You know what I mean ?
What I want to know is, how to create a dynamic link that shows me directly a folder which is dependent on which empno I had clicked on in the report ( report with employee numbers and ename )
Is there any way to pass some parameters into a link to a Folder ? Is this possible in Portal ? Does anyone know how to do this, or do you have a suggestion how to solve this problem ?
Thanks a lot !!!

Hi Chetan,
I am glad that someone had replied on my question.
I will explain it to you again.
I have created a report that shows me all employees. If I click on a employee number then I get an MASTER DETAIL FORM on my screen with all the information(where he works now and which number I have to dial ifhow can I reach him by telephone) of that employee on which number I clicked on.
I really like this mechanism. (You click on a number and the information that you see in the next screen is dependent of the number you clicked on ! )I have created all this. It works fine.
What I want is to expand this example.
Every employee has a FOLDER (yes, those ones in Content Area ) which they can insert text or image into that folder. The folder name is just the employee number. ( employee with employee number 3303, he owns a folder which is named 3303 and an employee with empno 9999, he or she owns a folder with the name 9999. )
Every employee can tell more about himself in that FOLDER by iserting text and images. For example : What he likes, pictures of his vacation, something like this.
What I want is this :
If I click on the first report,which provides me all employees on screen, on a employee number 3303 then I get a Master Detail Form on my screen with all information about that employee with employee number 3303. And I want in this MASTER DETAIL FORM to create a link that shows me directly the FOLDER of that employee ( 3303), so I can learn more about employee with employee number 3303. But I don't know how to create this link.
That link had to be dependent on the employee number. The difficult thing about this link is that this link had to be dynamic.
I hope this will make it clear to you :
(report all employees:)
empno ename
3301 john smith
3302 peter clark
3303 wilson jones
If I click on a empno ( for example 3303) then I get a MASTER DETAIL FORM which provides me information.
(MASTER DETAIL FORM )
EMPNO 3303
ENAME wilson jones
department New York
mobile number 98908763
Company tel. no day
AOL 097485838 monday till wednesday
Oracle 04848584333 thursday and friday
LINK
(what I want is to create a link here )
If I click on LINK in this MASTER DETAIL FORM then I want to link to the FOLDER of this employee ! ( In this example it is FOLDER 3303.
BUT IF I CLICKED ON THE FIRST REPORT ON A DIFFERENT NUMBER ( FOR EXAMPLE 3301) THEN IF I CLICK ON LINK IN THE MASTER DETAIL FORM THEN I HAVE TO LINKED TO FOLDER 3301.
I just want to know how to make a link like this ( create a dynamic link to a specific folder ).
Thanks in Advance.

Mail Enabled Public Folder Issues after migration online

Hi
We have recently migrated our Legacy (Exchange 2010) Public Folder Infrastructure to Exchange Online - we have a hybrid setup, SSO and DirSync.
We initially had an issue where some of our mail enabled public folders had lost their link with the associated MailPublicFolder objects and as such could not receive email.
We resolved this issue ourselves however we are now experiencing a different issue which i believe should be easily resolvable however this isn't the case at the minute.
The issue is that when a user emails a Mail Enabled Public folder Exchange online is attempting to relay the email back to our onPrem servers. This is occuring for the bulk of our Mail Enabled Public Folders - we have ~1200 of these. The only
folders that are working as expected are those that had the initial issue above and for which we had to remove and re mail enable these folders. We also had to recreate any secondary smtp address for these folders. This accounts for 88 of our total
MEPFs.
I have checked the attributes on the MailPublicFolder objects for those that are not working and those that are functioning as expected. The only difference in these that I can see is that the MEPFs with the issue have a value set in the ExternalEmailAddressAttribute.
I have tried to programatically set this value to $Null however i receive the following error:
The external e-mail address $null is not an SMTP e-mail address.
I have also tried the following : set-mailpublicfolder -Identity "MEPF"-ExternalEmailAddress "<not set>"
with the same resultAttempting to use the following syntax -externalemailaddress @{remove=$oldAddress} returns the following error:
Cannot process argument transformation on parameter 'ExternalEmailAddress'.Cannot convert the "System.Collections.Hashtable" value of type"System.Collections.Hashtable" to type "Microsoft.Exchange.Data.ProxyAddress".
At present the only fix that I have for this is to take a copy of the email addresses for an affected public folder, Mail disable it, wait for the object to be cleared, re-enable the public folder as a mail public folder and then re-add the email addresses.
This is ok on an adhoc basis but not for the ~1200 folders that are affected. Especially when from what i can see it should be relatively straightforward to resolve this with a simple PowerShell script.
I do have a case open with MS for this but I am hoping that somebody here can help also.
Thanks
Joe

Ok so i fixed it myself.
The thinking here is that the ExternalEmailAddress was set using the Primary SMTP address while the Public Folders were on premises.
In order to get the required information we ran a script to export all the MailPublicFolder objects which had a value in the ExternalEmailAddress attribute. We exported the Name, ExternalEmailAddress and GUID
We then ran a second script to export the Identity, MailRecipientGuid from Get-PublicFolder -recurse.
The MailRecipientGUID is what ties the Mail Enabled Public folder to the MailPublicFolder object.
Using Excel I then matched the two up and created a csv file with the Identity Attribute from the get-PublicFolder command and the ExternalEmailAddress Attribute from Get-MailPublicFolder.
The following script then used this csv file to first Mail Disable the Public Folder, then Mail Enable the Public Folder.
Once these steps have been completed the final stage is to add the SMTP address back in to the Public folder.
To do this it is necessary to retrieve the new MailRecipientGUID and use it to return the MailPublicFolder for the Set-MailPublicFolder command.
I was happy to use this script after i tested with a small subset of the data. It is provided as is with no guarantee that it will be suitable for you to use and any use of this script is at your own risk.

OneDrive Public Folder Question

Hi All,
I have a WinRT C# app that uses the Live SDK v5.6. In my app a user can upload files and create folders within their OneDrive account and generate share links. Is there anyway for a user to be able to access files located in another user's specified
public folder on OneDrive?
Here's what I've got so far: A user creates a folder and sets it to public. The app creates a 'contact card' file that the user can send to another user. In this file the sender's ID is stored, along with the web link to their public folder and
that folder's OneDrive ID. The recipient opens the 'contact card' file in my app and all the values come through successfully. Now I just need to know how (or if) I can use those values to direct my app to download a list of files in the sender's
public OneDrive folder. When I try to use the folder ID like so:
LiveOperationResult Aresult = await connectClient.GetAsync(folderID + "/files");
The operation never completes. I assume this is because the folderID is tied to the sender's user account. So what are my options here? Is there another value that would work, like upload_location? Could I use the REST API and the public
web link to get the list of files? Is there any other way one user can access another user's public folder on OneDrive? Thanks for your help.

If the file/folder has been shared with the users contact and they are in each others contact list, you can check the files for the pictures and the source returned in the results (something similar to below). You will also want to make sure that you're
using the wl.contacts_photos scope as well so that you can view the contacts photos.
LiveOperationResultpictureOperationResult
= awaitclient.GetAsync(contact.id
+ "skydrive/files");
dynamicpictureResult = pictureOperationResult.Result;
foreach(dynamicpicture
inpictureResult.data)
varpictureItem =
newSkyDriveItem(picture.id,
picture.name, picture.name, picture.source, picture.description, picture.description, group);
group.Items.Add(pictureItem);

No Public Folder

I am just starting to use my mini for home networking, and I do not seem to have a Public Folder to drop files into to share. The help menu says it should be under my Home in the finder, but there is no folder there called Public. How can I get one?

Do like what BDAqua said, just make a folder in your home directory named Public.
If you launch /Applications/Utilities/Terminal.app, and type ls -ld Public (those are lower-case L's, not upper-case i's) you should see something that reads similar to
drwxr-xr-x 5 etehall staff 170 May 23 Public/
If you have something different than "drwxr-xr-x" then type chmod -vv 755 Public
To create a drop box in your Public folder, navigate in Finder to the Public folder and make a new folder and name it Drop Box. Then, back in Terminal.app, type cd Public and chmod -vv 733 Drop\ Box (include that "\" before the space; it was not a typo). Then you can ⌘q Terminal. You might need to reboot to make the icons look right. But, that should get you your public and drop box folders restored.

Public folder not showing up as mail enabled, but it's receiving email.

I've got several mail-enabled public folders that are showing up as not being mail-enabled in the public folder console, but are receiving email. If I run get-publicfolder -identity "\folder\name" | fl it shows that the folder is mail-enabled and
all of the information listed there matches up with other folders that are showing up correctly.
With one of the folders doing this, I selected to mail enable it and see what happened. It accepted it, but it assigned it a completely different address, though if I search AD for the old address, it shows that it's attached to the very same public folder.
Also, if I check the GAL, the public folder shows up twice, one with the old address and one with the new.
Any suggestions? Thanks!

We have the exact same problem.
The "easy" way would be to export all mail-enabled objects from the MESO to text files to have smtp addresses saved :
get-mailpublicfolder * | select displayname,emailaddresses,grantsendonbehalfto, primarysmtpaddress | fl >> C:\temp\export.txt
Then delete Public Folder objects from the MESO
After that, you should be able to mail-enable your public-folder and add previously saved smtp addresses.
But this is just a workaround, not a real solution.
This is why we have just opened a case with Microsoft to clearly identify what is causing this post-migration (2007-2013) issue. I will update this post as soon as i have some news.

Exchange 2013 public folder showing as mail enable no, after migration

I have migrated from 2010 to 2013 and now have a problem with some MailPublicFolders. They can receive mail, but show up in EAC as Mail Enabled "no". If I try to mail enable them they get an odd ball address i.e.
subject?[email protected]
I need them to show as mail enabled in EAC so I can give people SendAs etc.
If I edit the email address, I get an error saying the address already exists.
I think it is from 2003/2010 when alias was set to
[email protected] and now that is not permitted.
Thinking back to when we went from 2003 to 2010, we had to mail disable, then mail enable to get them working.
How can I fix the properties and end up with a mail enabled mailpublicfolder?

Hi,
For this issue, I recommend you delete the public folder object under the Microsoft Exchange System Objects container. Before you delete the public folder object, please note the existing SMTP addresses.
After that, please Mail-enable the
public folder again to check result.
Here is a similar thread for your reference.

Folder object throws IllegalStateException

I am writing an email program which fetches the mail from Gmail. I have written the below mentioned code to fetch the name of all the folders of a particular client. when the servlet is loaded on the server, after that on the first (on servlet) the code marked (1) and (2) works fine, i.e the Folder object is created but on the subsequent hits, the folder object is not created. It throws an exception:
java.lang.illegalStateException:not connected
Why I am not been able to get the Folder object on subsequent hits?

Because the Store has been closed. Why was it closed? I don't know. I can't see enough of your
application to tell, but I'm sure you can figure it out. Note that if you leave it open for a long time
without using it, the server will close it.
Also, note that this code isn't doing what you expect:
if(f1.HOLDS_FOLDERS!=0){
What you meant was:
if ((f1.getType() & Folder.HOLDS_FOLDERS) != 0) {

Need powershell commands to get email addresses from public folder created in EAC to CSV

Need powershell commands to get email addresses from public folder created in EAC to CSV
1. Created Public folders via EAC - not mail enabled - just to hold contacts.
2. Assigned owners and showed to add new contacts - then add to favorites and finally to display as address book.
Now I need a powershell command to get those email contacts in those public folders.
I need to view them because when we send emails to those groups (via select all) in the public folders, it is creating an NDR for 3 users saying - "..blah blah -OFFICE FAX or HOME FAX) - yet they are getting the emails.
I suspect that their contact details are corrupt somehow and want to see what contacts are actually listed in the public folders. I already checked to see if the source of the contacts was the public folder or "my contacts" and they are not.'
I have tried multiple get recipient commands and get public folder commands with no results in the CSV

The only way to get that data is either via the Outlook com object or using EWS. None of the commands in the Exchange shell look inside of a folder, the most you can get with those is email addresses for mail-enabled Public folders. Here is a link that can
get you started with how to connect to public folders via EWS, then its just enumerating the folders and looping through the items in the folders for the details of the items.

Problem creating a link to a network folder

I am working with a SharePoint 2010 site. Due to not being able to utilize SharePoint Designer, I am limited to editing the site by first navigating to the SharePoint site and then selecting edit page from the site options menu.
I have a table setup and there are two cells within the table that I want to have linked to different network folders. The first cell has 'operations brief' in it, and after researching how to establish a link to a network folder, I learned that I could
do it by inserting a link and pointing to file://servername. In this situation, I highlighted the text and then selected insert and link from address option. I typed in
file://Y:\Operations%20Brief\2013 into the URL field. After saving the site, I tested the link and it successfully opened the network folder.
I then followed the same procedure for another network folder named Quick Reference Card. The only difference between the operations brief folder and the quick reference card folder is that the quick reference card folder has parentheses and numbers - Y:\(8)Library\Quick
Reference Card (QRC). I am not understanding why when I view the site out of editing mode, I can click on the operations brief folder and have it open. When I click the Quick Reference Card link, nothing happens. The text appears as a hyperlink -- it's in
blue and is underlined.
I've removed the link and re-added it several times, only to get the same result. I can't figure out why one link works, and why another one doesn't even though I'm sure I created the second link the same way I created the first link.

Hi,
I have followed the same procedure what you followed, it is working as expected and both the links are working fine. The following is the HTML SOURCE from the content editor web part. Please verify your HTML source from the content editor part.

Can I Create A Symbolic Link to folders stored on an SMB Share folder?

Hello,
I am very new to Unix and was hoping that someone could point me in the right direction with regards to Symbolic links and an SMB share folder ....
Have purchased an ext. LAN Drive enclosure (http://www.macpower.com.tw/products/hdd3/pleiades/pd_usblan) which connects to my wireless router via ethernet like my G5 (main Mac) - our iBook connects via Airport. I have copied all my general documents/files to the SMB share folder on the ext. drive so that I can access them from the G5 and also the iBook.
However I'd also like to be able to store my actual Mail folder (/Users/Mark/Library/Mail/), , Safari folder (/Users/Mark/Library/Safari) + my Address Book and other folders sitting in the Application Support folder on my SMB share so all important docs/folders are in the one place. I've tried storing these folders on the SMB share and putting an Alias to these back in Users/Mark/Library/Mail etc but of course an Alias doesn't work.
Question 1: Can I create a symbolic link to these files if these are stored on an SMB share folder? If so, could you please tell me exactly what I'd need to type into Terminal? My SMB Share path is smb://STORAGE-XXXX/MARK
I have copied my iPhoto library and iTunes library to the SMB share and are working fine.
Question 2: Is it possible/worth attempting to move my whole home folder to the SMB share folder? Ideally, I'd like to be able to access my Mail from the iBook as well. If I could log into either the G5 or the iBook and access my latest Mail, Address Book and other Application Settings, that would be perfect. Would this be possible?
Thanks
Mark.

Dear Mark,
Yes you can. The command to create a link will look something like this:
$ ln -s thisFolder /Users/mark/thatFolder
I did this while I was hosting a microsoft based game. This put all of the players into a common directory.
SMB just resolved the link and everything worked fine.
However, as I understand it, some other applications do NOT work very well with links. As I have NOT tried it with other applications, I fear I can be of NO help to you in this matter.
The only way to find out which applications work with links is to try them and see what happens.
Best of luck,
Kurt

Exchange 2010 SP3 - How many Calendar Items/Folders can you create under "all public folder"

Hi,
Is there a limitation on how many calendar items/folders you can create under "all public folder" in Exchange 2010 SP3?
Thank you

I don't believe you can create calendar items under the root folder, but it's been so long since I worked with a system that had public folders that I'm not sure. If you mean "a folder that can contain calendar items", that is not a calendar
item itself.
Now, I believe your underlying question is, "How many folders can be created at the root level of the public folder hierarchy?" If so, there is no simple limit that I know of (you can have thousands, if you really want), but management gets
pretty unruly with the more that you have. I normally recommend that you create sub-folders to logically meet your requirements, then have each of these with more folders (normally that only specific groups of users will be able to access or add items
to). And anyone will tell you that you want to restrict anyone from creating their own folders at the root level. In fact, this is the default setting for a new Exchange 2010 installation.
I'll add that you really should stop trying to use public folders, since there are newer technologies (SharePoint, for instance) that work much better and are much easier to use.
