Exchange 2010 - index public folder?

We would like to achieve fast search thru public folders. If I have recieved correct informations, public folders are not indexed. Am I right or am I wrong?
with best regards,
bostjanc

Hi,
Do you want to do fast search in public folders in Outlook?
If so, you can make use of Windows Desktop Search. What we need to know is that the search must be performed from within the Favorites section and Outlook should be in Cached mode.
For more information about this, please see:
Fast Searching in Public Folders
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/heaths/archive/2006/02/16/533565.aspx?Redirected=true
Please note that not ALL desktop search products index public folders. You can refer to the following blog for more details about performance problems caused by the desktop search engines.
Are your clients using desktop search engines that index Exchange mailboxes or public folders?

Exchange 2010 - 2013 Public Folder Migration target database gets much bigger than source database

Hi,
i have a question about the pf migration from Exchange 2010 to Exchange 2013. The source database ist about 370 GB. The migration process is still running. At the moment the target database is already 491GB big. Is that a normal behaviour during the migration
process.
Thanks

Hi,
After you have finished the public folder migration process, you can compare the item count of public folders to make sure all public folders have been moved to Exchange 2013.
You can check this by comparing the snapshots before and after the migration. You can refer to the "How do I know this worked?" section in the following article.

Exchange 2010 Recover Public Folder database from replication database.

Following a hardware failure on Saturday, one of our public folder databases was dismounted, and was corrupt. I was able to run eseutil /p to get to a clean shutdown state, but I still couldn't mount and more research suggested that the logs for the database
were corrupted and unrecoverable (Log file: E:\logs\EXCH-PFDB1\E0100007E16.log
ERROR: Log damaged (unusable). Last Lgpos: (0x7e16,9,0). Error - 501.)
Everything i can find suggests that at the point where it makes the most sense just to restore the database. We do have another public folder database, which is set up to replicate all of its data with the one that went down, so this
should be relatively easy. However I want to make sure that I don't do it wrong and end up deleting my good database. What's the proper procedure for this? I can't seem to find anyone who has documented it.

Thank you Gulab. This worked for me after a drive holding the Public Folder database logs failed. I first replaced the drive and recreated the folder structure. I then ran a Symantec Backup Exec restore job which failed although some
log files did recover. Unfortunately, I could still could not mount the Public Folder Database so I ran
Eseutil /mh which confirmed a dirty shutdown. I then emptied all files from the Log folder which appeared as a result of the restore job and ran Eseutil /p which was successful.
I was then able to mount the Public Folder Database and I could see the contents of the Public Folders in Outlook and the Log folder started to populate from the DAG's second copy.

Exchange 2010 SP2 Public Folders Stubborn Replicas (OAB)

I migrated to a new server with 2010 SP3 all is working good, I am able to see all Public Folders and their contents fine. Now I need to delete this stubborn Public Folder on the older 2010 SP2 server to decommission it. But I get the dreadful 'you cannot
delete this database because it contain replicas' blah blah. Very annoying.
This is what the stats pulled up. They are not folders to me, and the new server is the default for OAB. Not sure what to do, I just want to delete this database the right way without resorting to ASIEDIT. I do not want to use that tool, read many horrible
stories of people deleted the database only to have hours of after affects where other public stores went into an inconsistent state. HELP!

Did you create replicas of these folders on the other server and remove the replicas from the server you want to uninstall? Have you configured the OAB so that it's generated on the new server?

Exchange 2010 System Public Folders trying to replicate to decommissioned Exchange 2003

I was checking the mail queue on Exchange 2010 and noticed several hundred messages in retry. Looking at the messages I found that they were all destined for an old 2003 exchange that has been decommissioned. I looked at the System Public Folders and found
replication is set up on "events root, OWAScatchpad, SchemaRoot, and Store Events. They are set to replicate to the old mail server. When I try to remove the old server from replication it gives me an error;
Microsoft Exchange Error
The following error(s) occurred while saving changes:
Set-PublicFolder
Failed
Error:
You must specify a value with the Replicas parameter.
OK
Not sure where to go with this error. Could someone point me in the right direction?
Thank you,
Wade Harris

Hi,
For this issue, I recommend you add an Exchange 2010 public folder database to the replica list and then remove Exchange 2003 server from this list to check result.
I tested in my lab, and I got the same error with yours, we need to keep at least one public folder database in the replica list.

2010 - 2013 Public Folder migration failed - Property Expression isn't valid

We just migrated from 2003 to 2010, and now on to 2013. I have Exchange 2013 CU3 installed, and all mailboxes moved. When trying to move the public folders, I'm getting an error about DataValidationException. Property expression <PF
Name with spaces> isn't valid......
Many articles refer to a mail-enabled public folder with spaces can't have spaces in the alias. This is NOT a mail-enabled public folder, so there isn't an alias that I can find.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

I believe aliases are only available in mail-enabled public folders.

How long to rebuild Exchange 2010 index?

Exchange 2010 sp3
so my index was disabled for some weeks due to low disk space. last night I extended the database drive partition to an additional 250GB, reenabled the index service, re-enabled the databases index too. since last night, the database copy status are still
crawling.
the total size of all my databases are 1.07TB.
how long will the rebuild take?

Hi,
There are many factors that influence the rebuild rates and time to complete, you can refer to this
article.
You can track starting and ending of crawling with the Events 109 and 110 respectively in the application log.

Exchange 2010 Create new folder for select users off the root of the mailbox

I need to create a new folder for a select set of users. This folder needs to be off the root of their mailbox. I considered using a custom managed folder but we do not have the enterprise CAL’s to support this option. I only have
about 15 users so I could do this one by one if needed. I am not a powershell user but have been using the Exchange Management Shell and would like to us this app to create the folders but I’m not finding the right syntax for the new-mailboxfolder cmdlet.
What is the correct method for using the EMS to create a new folder in a mailbox.

I was checking back thru my notes and seem to remember running this cmdlet:

cmdlet Get-MailboxPermission at command pipeline position 1

Outlook/exchange 2010 "cannot expand folder" on shared mailbox

exchange 2010. outlook 2010 (and outlook 2013).
change user mailbox 'mailbox1' to a shared mailbox with powershell:
set-mailbox mailbox1 -type shared
verify the mailbox appears as shared in exchange console.
grant Full Access Permission to mailbox1 to Group1 AD group.
member of Group1 adds mailbox1 as an additional mailbox to his outlook exchange account.
when he clicks on mailbox1, outlook says "cannot expand folder. (was this information helpful?)"
member of ad group logs out of windows and logs back in repeatedly.
but when he clicks on mailbox1, outlook says "cannot expand folder. (was this information helpful?)"
edit: if I specifically grant full access permission to the user, he can open the mailbox in outlook. I want to grant the permission to a group, not to individual users.

Hi,
I can give a security group full access permission to a shared mailbox in my Exchange 2010 environment. And all group members can add the shared mailbox as an additional mailbox in Outlook.
Please make sure the full access permission has been assigned to Group1 and the problematic user is a member of this group. Then remove the additional mailbox and restart Outlook, re-add the shared mailbox as an additional mailbox to have a try. If the issue
persists in Outlook, please try to open the shared mailbox in OWA to check whether the user can access it.
Thanks,

MT Exchange 2013 and Public Folder Limits

So having some real trouble trying to digest this data from a multi-tenant perspective.
Total public folders in hierarchy
10,000
Although you can create more than 10,000 public folders, it isn’t supported. Create
a Public Folder
Sub-folders under the parent folder
10,000
Although you can create more than 10,000 sub-folders under a parent folder, it isn’t supported.FolderHierarchyChildrenCountReceiveQuota parameter on the Set-Mailbox cmdlet.
So if my hierarchy consists of root folders 0-9,A-Z. Then below those top levels I place tenant domain level folders. Then below that I actually have folders for tenant data. Which of the above category applies? Sub-folders under
the parent folder is somewhat misleading? Does that mean in my above scenario I would only have 36 "parent" folders then would be able to have a total of 10k subfolders under those parents?
Or does it effectively mean 10k folders, that is all. One parent folder and 9,999 sub-folders? Or some combination of the two?
I had very high expectations for the redesigned public folders with incorporation into the DAG, but this solution seems MUCH less scalable and flexible then the legacy design. Additionally the recommendation of 2k concurrent users per PF mailbox, with
a max number of PF mailboxes at 100 effectively sets an org limit of 200k total mailboxes.
I can't help but feel this is just another nail in the coffin of non O365 Exchange resellers.

Hi,
Based on my research, the public folder size can be up to 100GB in the hosted Exchange 2013 environment:
http://www.wisnet.com/blog/hosted-exchange-2013-is-available-now/
As long as the total number is beyond the limit, we can at most have 100 public folder mailboxes ,10k public folders, 10k subfolders under one public folder and 200 concurrent users for one public folder mailboxes.
For more information about the public folders in Exchange 2013, you can refer to the following articles:

"Exchange Server 2003" Public folder access within OWA

Hello,
I can connect to my exchange server 2003 (I know I have to upgrade) with OWA through an alias (webmail). After connecting in OWA, when I click a button in the navigation bar (contact, rules, ...), it's working OK except for public folders. When I click on
public folders button, IE open a new window with this URL https://<netbios server name>/public instead of https://webmail/public. I googled around and found a thread explaining how this problem can be address by modifying navbar.js. But in my situation
navbar.js and every other files located in ..\exchweb\control doesn't seem to be access anymore, they have been replaced by those here ..\exchweb\6.5.7651.60. There is no navbar.js in this folder but a vw_navbar.js. I can't find the code I have to modify like
in navbar.js to to address the problem.
Thanks for your help.
Chris

Hi Chris,
This symptom can be caused if we enabled any redirection on /Public virtual directory. You can check the /Public settings and configuration files to remove the redirection. We can also reset the reset the default virtual directories as the KB introduced:

Exchange 2010 Online Archiving - Folder Structure Incorrect

Greetings,
We have recently been enabling Exchange Archiving for various users with great success. I have one particular user that we have enabled it on, and it appears the Online Archive folder structure is not being generated when items are processed to be
archives. Items are being archive to the root of the Online Archive mailbox, where with other users, we notice that it create a folder that matches the same folder in the users primary mailbox and then moves the messages to that folder.
What would be causing this not to generate a folder structure that matches the folder structure on the users primary inbox? We have seen these successfully done on multiple users, but this particular users it is not working. As I stated above, all
archived e-mails are being stored in the root folder of the Online Archive Mailbox.
Any thoughts are greatly appreciated.
Cheers

Hi,
I would like to verify if you use the same method to enable online archive for these users.
I recommend you use the following cmdlet to enable online archive for this problematic user.
Enable-Mailbox [email protected] -RemoteArchive -ArchiveDomain "xxx.xxx.xxx"
What's more, you can use the Get-Mailbox alias -Archive | fl name,archive* to check the archive information.
Here is a helpful article for your reference.
Enable a Personal (On-Premises) or Cloud-Based Archive for an Existing Mailbox

Exchange 2010: Redirect Logging folder

I need to redirect the E:\Exchange\V14\Logging folder to L:\Logging. Will the mklink be able to redirect the folder?
mklink /j E:\Exchange\V14\Logging folder L:\Logging
Is there a better option?

Hello,
Since different kinds of logging files are store under the folder, I am afraid its location cannot be changed.

The Plan is:
Remove all Public Folder Content
Set the OAB to Web Distribution Only
Clear the “msExchHomePublicMDB” attribute on Exchange Databases
Clear the “siteFolderServer” attribute on CN=Exchange Administrative Group (FYDIBOHF23SPDLT)
Remove the Public Folder Database with ADSI
Is there anything else to do ?
Is there any Outlook Client Impact on this ? Does the Users get a Outlook Error like "your exchange administrator did some changes please restart" or is it transparent for the users ?
thanks for Feedback,
Best,
Martin

Hello,
Please follow the Naren.Neelam's suggestion.
Besides, I recommend you remove database via EMC or EMS. If you can't remove the database via EMC or EMS, and then you can use ADSIEDIT to remove the public folder database from the organization.
When you remove a public folder database, the Exchange database (.edb) file for the database and other files associated with the database aren't automatically deleted. You must delete the public folder database files manually.
Here are some articles for your reference.

Public folders not replicating Exchange 2010

Earlier this year I did a migration from a single 2003 Exchange server to a single Exchange 2010 server. I didn't notice until recently that my GAL isn't being updated in cached mode in Outlook 2010+ but is in OWA and with cached mode turned off. So,
I dug a little more, and also noticed that I also having errors when trying to go into Public Folder Management Console when I right click and and select update content on anything under Default Public Folders or System Public Folders I get an error about
no replica being found.
Microsoft Exchange Error
Action 'Update Content' could not be performed on object 'OFFLINE ADDRESS BOOK'.
OFFLINE ADDRESS BOOK
Failed
Error:
Server 'JASMAIL01' doesn't have a replica of public folder '\NON_IPM_SUBTREE\OFFLINE ADDRESS BOOK'. Public folder content can be synchronized only from a server that has a replica of that public folder.
When I update anything inside the Offline Address Book Folder I get:
Microsoft Exchange Error
Action 'Update Content' could not be performed on object 'EX:/o=AmicalolaEMC/ou=Exchange Administrative Group (FYDIBOHF23SPDLT)'.
EX:/o=AmicalolaEMC/ou=Exchange Administrative Group (FYDIBOHF23SPDLT)

I've been searching for a month or so and have come up with nothing, any ideas? Thank you!

This is what happens when I try to run that command:

Hi,
The error message also mentions that your system mailboxes are invalid. Please run the Get-Mailbox -Arbitration command to check result.
Besides, please find the following objects under the Microsoft Exchange System Objects container and delete them to check result.
OAB Version 2
OAB Version 3a
OAB Version 4
Schedule+ Free Busy Information - First Administrative Group
