Groupware Integration : Use of multiple public folders

Hi,
Can anyone advise if it is possible to use multiple public folders to store business partners in Groupware? For instance: if a SAP CRM contains business partners for different organizations, can parts of the data be available in one public folder, and another part in a second public folder?
If it is not possible in CRM, can it be done in Exchange? Any advise?
Thank you,
Sebastiaan.

Issue resolved by creating an offline replication with filter settings.

Public Folders calendars updates and refreshing issues

Hi,
We have calendars we use under the Public Folders, but for some users it does not want to refresh right away, so user A inserts an entry in one of the Calendars, they do not see the entry they just saved inside the calendar at all. They try to add the same
entry again they get message are you sure you want to delete this entry !!
But if they add an entry and go back to mail view and go back in calendar view on their Outlook 2010 they sometimes see the entry they just made and sometimes double entries for same event as well because of the "delete this entry " message.
So the public folders calendars are not refreshing right away when users are entering an event, and also at instances other users will not be able to see the event either till they close out of outlook and re-open it.
It is bit of a nuisance, found this thread with similar problem but they are talking about exchange 2010 we are on exchange 2013 with CU1 (too afraid to upgrade to CU2 because of all the horror stories).
Is there any other way to have these public calendars that might refresh faster instead of using the Public Folders, if i am not mistaken MS has always tried to get away from using Public Folders and their development has been poor.

Few things :
If i do decide to jump to CU3 , can it be directly from CU1 to CU3 jump ?
- I have not used resource mailboxes but are they not just "mailboxes" i want users to be able to see the calendars and the events posted in them, these resource mailboxes seem to be more geared towards booking a room or some multimedia equipment.
Yes. You can go straight to CU3.
Sure, they are just mailboxes, but users can open the shared calendar. Most people probably use them for booking - true, but you can use it the way any want of course and keep it simple.

Public Folders after 2007 to 2010 Migration

I am unable to move public Folders from 2007 to 2010. Will not replicate nor can I create or use any new Public Folders on the 2010 server. Every other part of the migration has been completed and the system is working well.
Is there anything that I might be missing in order to move Public Folders to 2010?

Hi,
Please check the msExchHomePublicMDB value in ADSI Edit:
1. In Adsiedit, expand Configuration-->CN=Services -> CN=Microsoft Exchange -> CN=domain -> CN=Administrative Groups -> CN=Exchange Administrative Group -> CN=Databases.
2. Right-click the listed database > Properties.
3. Make sure the msExchHomePublicMDB value is pointed to the Public Folder database in Exchange 2010 instead of Exchange 2007.
Additionally, please use the ReplaceReplicaOnPFRecursive.ps1 script to move all the replicas of a public folder subtree from one server to another server. For more information about Public Folder migration from Exchange 2007 to Exchange 2010, please refer

Public folders.. trying to find some answers...

I'm a little confused by the public folders in Exchange 2013. The documentation from Microsoft makes it sound like the hierarchy of the public folder is held always in the master public folder mailbox and the content is held in the individual (or whichever
public folder mailbox the user is assigned to).
But what we have seen is everything is held in the master. You can map a user to a secondary public folder mailbox and add data but the size of the mailbox doesn't grow.. the master public folder mailbox size grows.
So is the hierarchy AND the data always stored in the master? If so what exactly is the point of creating secondary mailboxes?

Hi,
In Exchange 2013, there are two types of public folder mailboxes: the primary hierarchy mailbox and secondary hierarchy mailboxes. Both types of mailboxes can contain content.
The primary hierarchy mailbox holds a writable copy of the hierarchy but secondary hierarchy mailboxes hold a read-only copy of the hierarchy. The hierarchy synchronize to secondary hierarchy mailboxes, but the content is stored in the public folder mailbox
and it isn't replicated across multiple public folders mailboxes. All users access the same public folder mailbox for the same set of content.
If you add some data into the secondary hierarchy mailbox, then the content is actually in this secondary hierarchy mailbox, not in the primary hierarchy mailbox.
The number of public folder mailbox is based on your requirement. You can have the only one public folder mailbox which is the primary hierarchy mailbox, or multiple public folder mailboxes, one is the primary and the others are secondary. If you want some
users access the same content and others access the different content, you can choose to create multiple public folder mailboxes.

Cannot delete mails in public folders using OWA after applying SP3 RU5

Hello,
we recently applied service pack 3 rollup 5 to our Exchange 2010 server (before it was running rollup 4).
Ever since, when we try to delete a mail in a public folder using OWA we get the message "An unexpected error occurred and your request couldn't be handled". Each attempt also causes error 108 in the application log (Outlook Web App couldn't
connect Exchange Web Services due to a configuration error. Response code = "500".) which is not accompanied by any other errors.
Neither uninstalling the rollup nor restoring the server's system state to a point before installation of RU4 could fix the error. Deleting mails in a mailbox still works fine, it's only within public folders and only in OWA.
Any ideas?

Hi,
Please refer to the following article:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2249852/en-us
The issue occurs when the Internet Information Services (IIS) website that hosts the Exchange Web Services (EWS) virtual directory contains a site binding that binds to an IPv6 address.
Note It is a known issue that this configuration may cause an exception .
Hope this helps!
Thanks.

Users unable to create or delete folders in migrated public folders using Outlook

We have an Exchange 2013 CU3 environment migrated from Exchange 2007.
The public folder migration was completed over the weekend.
The environment has several public folder mailboxes.
Post migration users are unable to create/delete new sub folders, or modify permissions using Outlook on any of the migrated public folders. Users can however create new top level folders using outlook. They can also create and delete new posts
in migrated public folders.
Admins are able to create folders and set permissions on migrated folders using the EAC.
Test User accounts used for testing are set to use the Primary Hierarchy mailbox as their default public folder mailbox.
Test Users have been given Owner permissions from the root down on the folders we are testing with.
We have tested with Outlook 2010 and 2013 getting the same "Cannot create the folder" error.

Further testing
We moved a top level folder from a secondary PF mailbox to the primary PF mailbox using the New-PublicFolderMoveRequest command in powershell.
After the move completed we could create new folders under the moved top level folder.
The top level folder that was moved had it's own sub-folders that we did not move to the primary mailbox. (We didn't move the whole branch.. Just the top level folder)
We still cannot create or modify the existing sub-folders after moving the top level folder.
We then moved the newly created sub-folder to a secondary PF mailbox.
At that point we could no longer create sub-folders in the folder form outlook.
From what I can tell you can only create new sub-folders in folders homed to the primary PF mailbox when using outlook.
Is this a bug or as designed?
According to this Tech ed presentation Clients connecting to a secondary PF mailbox should have folder changes proxy to the primary PF mailbox.. (See slide 10)
http://channel9.msdn.com/Events/TechEd/NorthAmerica/2013/OUC-B329#fbid=
Update : 2-5-2014
Not much new to report other than it appears that users need to be homed to the primary PF mailbox to delete calendar meetings.
Opened a ticket with Premier support.
Update 2-11-2014
Premier support continues to look into the issue. No ideas as to the cause yet.
2-24-13
Still no resolution from support or even a clue what is causing this.

MAPI_E_FAILONEPROVIDER == 0x8004011D when accessing public folders using mfcmapi

I seem to be getting this error when selecting the public folder in mfcmapi. I'm using the Feb 2014 release of mfcmapi.
Code: MAPI_E_FAILONEPROVIDER == 0x8004011D
Function CallOpenMsgStore( lpMAPISession, (ULONG_PTR)m_hWnd, lpEntryID, ulFlags, (LPMDB*)lppMAPIProp)
File MainDlg.cpp
Line 437
I can access the private mailbox without issue using mfcmapi, but the public folders I'm not able to. This problem is causing my backup software not to do document level backups. So I need to resolve this issue.
Also, if I create another user and give them the same access as administrator, the new user cannot access both the private mailbox nor the public mailbox when using mfcmapi so it must be a rights issue, but I can't find where it is!
Any idea's would be appreciated.
Thanks

Hi,
Please try to use MFCMapi tool as Administrator.
1. Can you access the public folder on both Outlook and OWA?
If can't access the PF on both Outlook and OWA, it seems there is something wrong on the Public Folder database side.
2. It also maybe the permission issue. Found a similar thread for your reference:

Exchange 2013 Mailbox Using 2010 Public Folders

Firstly, we will not be migrating completely to Exchange 2013 public folders for quite a while. Our first Ex2013 server is in a small branch office and won't be appropriate to hose the PF's for the entire company. Our environment consists of
8 Ex2010 servers and now the one Ex2013. I setup a test mailbox on the 2013 server and it access a 2010 PF database on another server just fine. How is that server discovered, and can we specify which one it uses? I understand the way 2013
public folders are moving but is there a downside to leaving our configuration this way for a long period of time?

Yes, the procedure should be followed to move mailbox first. Once you have successfully moved all the mailbox to new exchange server, you can migrate public folder after that.
You can also checekout this thread related to public folder migration from exchange 2010 to 2013 :

Further, for a better convenience, you can also take a look at this application (http://www.exchangemailboxmigration.com/) which would be a good approach while migrating mailboxes and public folders
between two exchange server. It ensures about the data security and email contents during the completion of entire migration process.

Exchange 2013 Public folders unavailable intermittedly using MAPI HTTP

We have a problem with Public folders not being available both in Outlook 2013 and OWA.Any ideas in troubleshooting the issue will be appreciated.Thanks.

Hi,
Is there any error message when you try to access public folders in Outlook 2013?
If there is, please post here for further analysis.
In Exchange 2013 CU1, the ability to open public folders in OWA is added. You need to add public folders from Favorites.
Please use the get-mailbox | fl defaultpublicfoldermailbox to check the default public folder mailbox in Exchange 2013.
Please navigate to the following path to check the msExchHomePublicMDB attribute if the value is not set.
Open ADSI Edit -> Configuration -> CN=Configuration, DC=domain, DC=com -> CN=Services -> CN=Microsoft Exchange -> CN=<Organization Name> -> CN=Administrative Groups -> CN=Exchange Administrative Group (FYDIBOHF23SPDLT) -> CN=Databases
-> Select the mailbox database and right click on it, choose Properties.

HT5590 Use caching server with multiple public Addresses?

According to the Apple documentation, to use the caching server, all clients need to share the same public address via nat. On my network with many macs, this would appear to make the caching service useless, as we have multiple public addresses to which our clients are nat'ed (a full class C, to be exact). Is there anyway around this restriction, or am I simply going to be unable to use what looks like it would be a highly usefull service?

Yes, the multiple internal/private subnets mapping to a single public IP is very common in the education/enterprise arena. It is the basic hub-spoke topology:
where all spokes connect to needed resources at the hub, and only the hub is connected to the Internet. In the case of K-12 education, we need to run a content filter (by Federal rules) on student Internet connectivity. The most efficient way to do that is to locate the filter (along with other servers and resources) at the hub and then route all Internet traffic through the hub. Each spoke (and the hub) is a different internal/private network subnet ... 10.65.x.x, 10.66.x.x, etc. In my case I have 3M from each spoke to the hub, and then 45M from the hub to the Internet.
In the "old" days ... pre 10.8 ... we had (and still have for some of our oler 10.4 computers) a software update server at each spoke, and computers at each spoke were configured (with the Apple software update script) to get their updates from the update server at their spoke ... iApps as well as OS apps. This worked perfectly!
Now that Apple, in their Orwellian attempt to monitor and control iApps, has introduced this "either-or" attitude about using a local update server OR caching server (but not giving you the option to get iApps from the local update server) they have really hurt schools like mine. Without being able to serve all updates locally on each spoke, updating becomes impossible when you are tryiing to udpate a lab full of computers, and the iApp alone is 1.2G for EACH computer ...and now it must come from the Internet since the caching server is 'broken.'
I currently have case open with Apple Enterprise Support, and will now also get my K-12 Apple Support Tech invloved. I will share this info with them. Perhaps there is some solution that I do not know about, or perhaps there will be a solution created by Apple for situations like mine. I can't see being the only one with this problem, I just think that I may be one of the first to notice it due to my limiited bandwith situation.
Thanks for your insight. Your original post got me thinking and enabled me to identify what *I* feel is the problem. I will keep this thread updated.

Public folders still using RPC/HTTP after switch to MAPI/HTTP

Hi,
last weekend I've enabled MapiHttp in our Exchange 2013 organization. Mailboxes are picking up the new transport and Outlook 2013 shows that the connection to the mailboxes is being made using MAPI/HTTP. However, the Public Folders connection is still using
RPC/HTTP. We aren't using legacy public folders, all PF's were migrated to the new public folder model. Also, when creating an entirely new Outlook profile the PF connection is using MAPI/HTTP after that. Only existing profiles keep using RPC/HTTP for PF's.
Any idea why this is the case? Why isn't the PF connection updated automatically just like the mailbox connection?
We are running Exchange 2013 CU7.
Frank.

Hi
As per the information and details provided by you, to switch from RPC/HTTP to MAPI/HTTP, please follow these steps: -
To enable MAPI/HTTP, run the following command:
Set-OrganizationConfig –MapiHttpEnabled $true
As you see from the cmdlet, deploying MAPI/HTTP is an
“all-or-nothing” approach. This means that you have to plan the deployment carefully. Switching from
“traditional” RPC/HTTP to MAPI/HTTP involves users restarting their Outlook (yes, the dreadful
“your administrator has made a changed” dialog box is back).
I hope this information will be helpful for you.
Thanks and regards

How can I use Apple Caching Service on a Network with Multiple Public IPs?

Hello!
I help manage a network of ~4000 clients for a small liberal arts college in Michigan. I'm looking into the possibility of implimenting Apple Caching Server for our network.
We have one 400mbit pipe out to the internet, and all of our clients are given public-facing IPs to the internet. A caching server would be great, especially on update days. All wireless clients are on the same subnet, which is where I'd like the server to be serving the cached copies.
I have installed Mavericks on a fresh machine, downloaded OS X Server 3.0.3, and attempted to start the caching service. This is what I get.
Unable to start service.
Caching cannot be run on a public network. Consult documentation.
How can I get this up and running?

The way the Caching server works is that the server will be accessing the Internet and when doing so traffic will be coming from it via a particular public IP address. Usually this will not be the address of the server itelf but your router as for most networks NAT is used. In this by far more common scenario the client Macs (and likely iOS devices) will be going through the same router and hence show up via the same public IP address.
If the client request is the same as the address registered via the Caching server then Apple redirect the request via the Caching server.
The setup would look something like this -
           Internet
                |
            Router (with NAT)
                |
(LAN)     +------Caching Server-----Client devices
With this setup because everything is using the same public IP address Apple can reasonably assume everything is on the same network and trigger a redirection to your Caching server.
If you try a setup like the following with the Caching server having its own public IP it will not work because the Caching server and client devices will have different public IP addresses
           Internet
               |
           Router (no NAT)-------------------+
               |                                      |
            Firewall (with NAT)       Caching Server
               |                                      |
               |                                      |
(LAN)     +-----Client devices-----------+-----------
Your configuration as described is more like the following
           Internet
               |
           Router (no NAT)
               |
(LAN)     +------Caching Server-----Client devices
With yours not having NAT each device has its own public IP address including the Caching server and Apple cannot redirect traffic as it thinks they are on different networks.

Client-side GW integr.: access other folder than "inbox" and public folders

Hello,
in our current project the call center employees should work only with the CRM web UI. MS outlook client should run in background, however, they want to access the necessary data out of the CRM UI.
Thus, it would be possible to access other folders than the "inbox". In CRM UI, one is able to transfer e-mails from the MS outlook inbox to CRM including the creation of an activity. However, you can only access the inbox folder, not any other folder, like a subfolder of the inbox folder. Now in the call center mails are routed automatically into subfolders due to dispatching of incoming requests.
Second thing would be to access MS outlook public folders out of the CRM web UI since some kind of knowledge base things are stored there company-wide.
Many thanks for your help & kind regards
Wolfgang
