Exchange groupware connector cannot read public folder

Hi,
we're installing the Groupware Connector for Exchange (2003) on a Win2003 SP1 server. The installation is simple, but when starting the service, the following error occurs:
[26/Apr/2006:11:33:52 +0200] WARNING - - - - - "[WRN:1010] Invalid default target folder for contacts: [email protected] does not specify public folder
. Please verify 'replica.contacts.default-target' option in config.xml." Source: Common\GroupWare.cpp:199
I tried installing and starting the connector on both the exchange server and a seperate server, but in both a cases the message appears.
The public folder exists (called "contacts"), has an email address: [email protected] and we can sent emails to it and they arrive in the contacts folder. As far as I know we executed all the steps in the installation guide (permissions etc) but for some reason the connector cannot see the public folder.
Any ideas?
I've read the two notes: 908577 and 908571
Much obliged
Marcel Rabe

Hi,
Once again very sorry for such a delayed reponse ... i don't know how did i missed your response ... anyway
You can find version of Connector 2.1.053 after you install it on a system and right click on the connectorsvc.exe and go to the version tab, find the version of the GWC.
What ever versions you have mentioned i.e., 2.1.036 and 2.1.037 are versions of Install package of GWC (which is a common for both exchange gwc and lotus gwc ).
If you still have some problems with it then revert back to me via e-mail so that i won't miss your response.

the issue now, still users getting prompted and cannot connect to PF in EX2007,,

I ran into the same situation recently, and found out that you need to make sure InternalClientsRequireSSL is set to false.
To verify: Run Get-OutlookAnywhere | fl Identity, *ssl
If it is true, try setting it to false.

I have moved a mailbox from Exchange 2010 to Exchange 2013, user moved from exchange 2010 to 2013 cannot access public folder on exchange 2010. I have been stuck on this kindly suggest

Hello,
Please explain the sentence "The user moved from exchange 2010 to 2013 cannot access public folder on exchange 2010". Do you mean the moved user can't see the public folder or the user has no permission to see the public folder?
If the moved user can't see the public folder, please check if the moved user can see the public folder via owa. When you use outlook to view public folder, you can following the method: Open outlook, click folder list at the bottom of left panel.
If the user has no permission to see the public folder, please check the permission.
=============================================================
1. Open ADSIEDIT.
2. Navigation to CN=Configuration, DC=Your domain name -> CN=Services ->CN=Microsoft Exchange ->CN=Your organization name ->CN=Administrative Groups ->CN=Exchange
Administrative Group ->CN=Databases ->CN= PF Database.
3. Right-click the PF Database, and then select Properties. Under Security, check if everyone has read permission.
Besides, please check if public folder replication is ok. You can use Get-PublicFolderStatistics cmdlet to compare item count, size.

Outlook 2007 on Terminal Server cannot manage Public Folder Favorites after Migration to Exchange 2013

Hi,
we are running a Server 2008 R2 as a Terminal Server with Outlook 2007 SP3 (incl Nov 2012 Update 12.0.6665.5000) which is known as fully supported with Exchange 2013.
With Exchange Server 2007 we did not have any issues. But after having successfully migrated to Exchange 2013 we cannot manage our public folders favorites from these clients anymore.
As we are running Outlook 2007 on a WTS we can not use Exchange Cache Mode and so we can also not download Public-Folders-Favorites as an option. Whenever we try to delete existing favorites or when we try to delete public folders with content or subfolders
there will be an error msg that says that it cannot be deleted and that there may be no sufficient permissions. But this IS NOT the issue NOR the solution as I have full admin rights and am owner of the public folders.
On single fat clients with Outlook 2007 with Exchange Cache Mode enabled we can manage the favorites and the public folders without problem.
We need to be able to manage the favorites of all users (circa 50-60 users) from the WTS with Outlookm 2007. I have no more ideas right now. Does anyone know how to get this settled?
Thanks, Paula

Hi,
Based on the description, users could access public folders successfully, but when they tried to manage public folder favorites or wanted to remove specified folders, they got error message of no sufficient permissions.
Is it right?
You mentioned on single fat clients with Outlook 2007 with Exchange Cache Mode enabled, user can operate normally. Is this a WTS with Outlook 2007 installed?
If possible, please switch this Outlook client from cached mode to online mode to check result.

Cannot open Public Folder item: "Not enough memory available in Exchange"

Hi
We are running Exchange 2003 Sp2.
I cannot open an item in a Public Folder in Outlook that holds a list of contact details - the error message is;
"Error: Cannot open this item. There is not enough memory available on Microsoft Exchange to perform this operation. Contact your system administrator"
However, I can open the Contacts using Webmail. Any ideas?

Quote: “open an item in a Public Folder in Outlook that holds a list of contact details”
The item you said, is it a distribution list? If yes, please see KB 894530
Troubleshooting:
1.       Is the issue only happened on one item in the problematic public folder?
2.       Is the issue only happened on one public folder?
3.       Please recreate one same type item in the problematic public folder, see if the issue still persists
4.       Is the issue only happened via one outlook client? Please test if the symptom also occurs when we reproduce the issue in another PC with another user’s outlook profile

If the outlook’s version is 2007, please see KB 945014

Exchange: contacts sync from read-only folder

In the past, I have been able to set up a device to get its contact info from a read-only Exchange public folder (set with one-way sync). Setting up a replacement device, that option is greyed out and the folder in question cannot be selected. Desktop software version is 7.0.0.43; device is a Tour 9630 running OS 5.0. Help? We are not running BES.

I am going to give followup.
The problem was corruption of my brand new Imac 27. I went around and around with applecare and they finally figured out that my preferences were corrupted. Usuallly that can be fixed but they were unable. Basically, everytime I set the right connection to gmail up, it changed it...
Finally, I set up a new user account on my mac. I logged into that user and started all over again. Now everything works.
I spent hours and hours on this... I bought a mac because "It just works" No more fooling with the registry and spending forever in dread with tech support. OK, so Mac doesn't have a registry. It has libraries. I spent forever fixing it.. Felt just like my Windows experience. Hope this isn't a harbinger of things to come.

Cannot change public folder owner in adsiedit to the server_name$ where PF are stored

Hi,
I have migrated PF from Exch 2003 to the Exch 2010 SP2 RU6.
Some of PFs still have the old Exchange 2003 servername as the owner in Security-Advanced-Owner of ADSIEdit.
However when I try to change it to the Exch2010_server_name$ (the one where Public Folders are mounted - I cannot (without any reason). But I can change it to one of the CAS servers, strange isn't it?
I have already tried this using domain admin account and Exchange admin account (both are assigned to Public Folder Management).
Can you help me to set the correct server name (as it is set for new public folders), please?
BR Michal Ziemba

Hi Michal,
Based on my knowledge, we don't need to change the owner of public folder manually when we migrate public folder.
The issue may be related to AD replication. You can run Dcdiag on your domain controllers and make sure you're not having replication problems.
Here is a thread for your reference.

Exchange 2013 User cannot view public folders

Good morning,
User was able to view public folders, then lost connection to public folders. User cannot view public folders in OWA.
Verified proper permissions. No changes have been made to the user account in AD, exchange.

Did you do a fresh install of Exchange, meaning there was no version of Exchange installed previously? If not, have you moved Public Folders over to Exchange 2013 yet? If the answer to this question is no, then you will not be able to view Public
Folders in OWA until they are migrated over Exchange 2013.

Why the groupware connector need Read/Write access for all mailboxes?

Hi,
Does anybody know the technical side of how the Groupware connector creates activities,tasks and contacts?
I know it's not sending them with SMTP, it's work with DCOM,
is it creates it directly in the recipient mailbox!?, and thats why it needs write access?
kind regards,
Pavel, sheynkman.

Hi,
Thanks for the information but i already red this note and the .doc files,
it still not answering WHY you need this permission? to answer this question you need to know the technical side,an answers to question like how the GW put the contacts or the activities in the user's inbox(using DCOM)?
Think about that:
If i have BP's that is not part of my organization, no way somebody will give me administrate permissions on his mailbox.
So if this is really true SAP Didn't think that through.

Exchange 2007 error relating to Public Folder Database

Hi
We migrated from Exchange 2003 to Exchange 2007 recently as we already had the licence so decided to take advantage of it.
We unfortunately forgot to migrate the Public Folders as we mistakenly thought as we didn't use them they were no longer needed in Exchange 2007.
We are now receiving
"Event ID 8207, MSExchangeFBPublish
Error updating public folder with free/busy information on virtual machine BARR-EXCH-001. The error number is 0x80004005."
On the server, I have tried http://support.microsoft.com/kb/945602 and the command
doesnt show an error but
Get-PublicFolder -Identity "\NON_IPM_SUBTREE\SCHEDULE+ FREE BUSY" -Recurse | fl name,Replicas
Still shows no entry for the NON_IPM_SUBTREE\SCHEDULE+ FREE BUSY. I have been advised to create a new PF store on the server as the one currently is probably empty or corrupted.
To do this would I follow this article http://technet.microsoft.com/en-GB/library/bb123687(v=exchg.80).aspx
Or
Dismount the public folder database on the Exchange 2007 serverGo to the folder path of the EDB filedelete\move the EDB fileGo back to the management console and mount the
public folder database. You will get a warning that one or more database files is missing. Go ahead and clickOK to mount a blank database file.?
Any help/advice appreciated.
Cheers
Cheers Chris

Hi,
If the existing file is corrupt, I recommend you recreate a new public folder database in Exchange 2007.
To create a new public folder database, you can refer to the following article.

Exchange 2013 - ECP shows wrong public folder permissions

Hi everybody,
I just migrated from Exchange 2007 to 2013 SP1 CU7 and we have an issue with the public folder permissions in ECP. ECP doest not show the correct permissions, here an example:
Get-PublicFolder "\Folder" | Get-PublicFolderClientPermission | ft
FolderName User AccessRights
Folder Default {Author}
Folder Anonymous {None}
Folder Administrator {Owner}
Thank you very much and best regards,
Sebastian

Hi,
Based on your description, the public folder permissions you get using command aren't the same with that you view from EAC.
Please check if you can change the wrong permissions to right in EAC.
If you have multiple public folder mailbox, please move affected public folders to another public folder mailbox and move back to check result.
And if you have multiple DCs, please make sure there is no replication issue between DCs or you can force DC replication and then to check result.

Public Folder Migration Cross Forest

Hello,
We are in the middle of planning a cross forest migration from Exchange 2010 to Exchange 2013.
To give some context:
We already have an Exchange 2013 environment complete with mailboxes, and public folders etc. We have a 2010 Exchange server in a different forest that we would like to migrate all existing mailboxes and public folders from to the Exchange 2013 forest. We will
be keeping the domain/forest that currently contains 2010 so all mailboxes that will be moved will end up being linked mailboxes in the 2013 organization with the accounts held in the other forest.
One of the big unanswered questions remains around public folder access. During migration there will be a time when some users will be in the Exchange 2010 organization, and some will be in the Exchange 2013 organization. I have two main questions around this
1. Is there any way possible that anyone can think of that the users moved to 2013 can access the public folders still on 2010?
2. What is the best way to migrate the public folders over from 2010 to 2013? Do we have to create the public folders and permissions on 2013 before hand or do we use a 3rd party tool or other method to achieve this goal?

Hi,
To reduce needless trouble, I recommend migrate mailbox first and public folder second.
However, public folder will works fine no matter where it located. If you experience an issue about user in Exchange 2013 mailbox cannot access Public Folder in Exchange 2010, please change the RPC authentication to NTML.
More details about it, please refer to:

Exchange 2003 Public folder move to exchange2010

we have been running exchange 2010 and exchange 2003 for some time and now its time to remove exchange 2003 while its been running it hasn't been doing anything.
Exchange 2003 is replicating already to exchange 2010 a while ago I did do a move replication (over a 2 months ago got side tracked)
now under public folder instance on exchnge2003
I just see one folder "Schedule + free Busy information -First Administrative Group"
and when you look at replication status on exchange 2003 I see this
PUBLIC FOLDER HIERARCHY                  12/08/2014 2 In Sync
Schedule+ Free Busy Information- first                      2 both Modified
System Configuration                             10/08/2012 2 local modified
I need to get the information over to exchange 2010.
Do I go with a move MoveAllReplicas.ps1 will this overwrite whats on 2010 ?
What is the safest way for me to get this information over to exchange 2010 any suggestions?

Exchange 2013 Public Folder Migration Not Listed

I started a public folder migration from my 2010 SP3 Exchange server to my new 2013 SP1 Exchange server. Somewhere during the process I failed. Not sure where but I am now at the point where if I try to create a new public folder on teh 2013 box i get a
warning like this.
An existing Public Folder deployment has been detected. To migrate existing Public Folder data, create new Public Folder mailbox using -HoldForMigration switch.
So I then run Get-PublicFoldermIgrationRequest to see what is still waiting... I get no migration listed in Exchange Management Shell.
I would like to find the place in AD or in the Server that thinks there is still an active request out there and remove it so I can start again with a clean slate. How do I do that?
Thanks!

Hi Zulea,
This is a known issue, I recommend you refer to the following article to resolve the issue:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/3004062/en-us
Cause:
This problem occurs when the Exchange organization coexists with an earlier version of Exchange Server, and one or more public folder databases from the earlier version of Exchange still exist.
Resolution:
To resolve this issue, use one of the following methods.
Method 1: Create the mailbox by using the -HoldForMigration switch:
This option lets an administrator create a public folder mailbox in order to begin a migration from the existing public folders:
Open the Exchange Management Shell.
Run the following cmdlet to create the public folder mailbox:
New-Mailbox "Public Folder Mailbox" -PublicFolder -HoldForMigration
Method 2: Remove all public folder databases from earlier versions of Exchange Server
To remove existing public folder databases, see the following TechNet websites, as appropriate for the version of Exchange that an existing public folder resides on.
Exchange 2010:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd876883(v=exchg.141).aspx
(http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd876883(v=exchg.141).aspx)
Exchange 2007:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa998329(v=EXCHG.80).aspx
(http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa998329(v=EXCHG.80).aspx)
Create the public folder mailbox by using either the Exchange Admin Center (EAC) or the Exchange Management Shell (EMS). To do this, see the following TechNet website:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj552410(v=exchg.150).aspx
