Public folders problems

Hi,
When we are making a folder public it appears like this:
Oracle - Public folders > #Shared > mailadmin > foldername.
Is it possible in anyway to get the folder to end up like this:
Oracle - Public folders > foldername (like it does on a exchange server)
And is there any good documentation on setting up #Shared or #Public ?
We are running OCS version 9.0.4.2 on Linux
/Martin

Hello,
The new 10gR1 release will display the folder structure a little more cleanly. For your specific question, the '#Shared' and '#Public' folder layers have been removed. Instead, you will now have "ORACLE - SHARED FOLDERS | USERNAME | FOLDERNAME" and a similar structure for Public Folders.
Thanks,
--Marc

  • Problems with Public Folders in Exchange 2010

    Last month I upgraded my servers from 2000 to 2010. The route I took for exchange was 2000 -> 2003 -> 2010. Everything went fairly smooth and I have had no real problems until this week. (I have uninstalled the older exchange servers.) I have been
    trying to clean out some of the remnants that have been left over from the older servers (for whatever reason the uninstall did not remove the information on the new server). I used ASDI edit to remove some old information that was pointing to the old exchange
    server (First Administration Group I think it was called).
    After that I upgraded to SP1 and Rollup 1. The Public folder database no longer appears under Organization Configuration, Mailbox. I am not sure if it was there after my deletion or not, so I am unsure if the problem is caused by my deletions or the upgrade.
    I followed the instructions found here, http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb727370%28EXCHG.80,printer%29.aspx . The CN=Public folders was found in CN=Folder Hierarchies. However
    msExchOwningPFTree is greyed out, so I cannot update it. I have tried to delete it and remake it, same thing.
    I also get the following events which I am assuming is caused by the Public Folders database not being mounted:

    Also, the CN=InformationSore is empty. Is this normal?
    Now I am assuming I deleted something that I shouldn't have.

    Tried that, I get the following when I go to the Public Folder Management Console:
    Cannot complete the operation because there isn't an available public folder database on server
    And even if I did that how does that help me retrieve my missing information?

  • Problems moving public folders for 2k3 to 2k7 migration

    Hello,
    i'm having problems with moving the public folder from the 2k3 to 2k7, following the steps i've found on mig docs and googling for this issue and i cant seem to solve it, letme detail:
    There are only 3 user created public folders, all with contacts, they weight less than a MB combined.
    So first thing, iin E2k3 ESM i right click the public folder store and select "move all replicas", it works succesfully.
    if i expand the pf store and check replicas i see a ton of system folders with 2 replicas.
    i also check every user folder, change the replication to always and urgent and resend changes/synch content from 2k3 to 2k7
    Now according to migration documents the "pf instances" should empty by itself after some time....
    well it's been a day and in fact i see more items than before on the 2k3, if i expand the instances on the 2k7 i see 4/5 folders, none of the user ones!.
    I also ran the moveallreplicas.ps1 script.
    if i run Get-publicfolder -recurse |fl name,replicas i only get:
    Name     : IPM_SUBTREE
    Replicas : {}the next step is apparantely to move the public folder "folder" itself from the 2k3 admin group to the 2k7, i can do that and it gives no error but i'm worried that if i decommision the 2k3 that it will all fail horribly.
    ¿whats going on, how can i move this thing for once?

    Hi,
    Make sure you have added the Exchange 2007 in the Replication tab list of all folders in Exchange Server 2003.
    In Exchange 2003, please increase the logging level to Maximum on the diagnostic logging categories: Replication Incoming Messages and Replication Outgoing Messages.

  • Problem with Exchange 2010 Public Folders after installing Exchange 2013 in my environment.

    I currently have an Exchange 2010 server with all the roles installed.  Before installing Exchange 2013, I was able to launch the Public Folder Management Console but now I get an error.  When I installed Exchange 2013, I got an error saying I
    had a instance of Exchange 2000 or Exchange 2003, but I didn't have any of these servers left.  There was still something in AD referencing my old server. I went into ADSIedit and deleted an old administrative group.  This deletion caused my access
    to my public folders to get messed up.  I followed this article, http://blog.bruteforcetech.com/archives/766, and I was able to gain access back in my outlook client but I still can't see the public folders in OWA.  I also get this error when
    trying to access either Default or System Public Folders.  "Cannot complete the operation because there isn't an available public folder database on server 'ExchangeServer'. It was running the command 'get-publicfolder - getchildren -identity '\'
    -server 'ExchangeServer' "
    My Public Folder Database exists and is mounted.  Any help is appreciated.

    Hi Belinda,
    Thank you for responding.  Yes you do understand my problem correctly.  One correction is that after deleting this entry in ADSIEdit, we couldn't access public folders at all either in Outlook or OWA.  I followed these steps in the below article:
     http://blog.bruteforcetech.com/archives/766
    After following these steps and recreating the entry on FolderHieachies in ADSI edit, I was able to gain access to the public folders again through Outlook, but still can't see them in OWA and can't access them in Public Folder Management Console.
    Here are the results to your requests:
    et-PublicFolder -Recurse | Format-List Name
    Name : IPM_SUBTREE
    Can't get the public folder database using legacy distinguished name '/O=HEROIX CORPORATION/OU=EXCHANGE ADMINISTRAT

  • Permissions problem: Public folders/Shared Calendars across domains with Linked accounts

    I have a linked mailbox that is accessed by an account in a trusted domain.  The account can access e-mail, send e-mail, free-busy search, etc, just fine.  However, there seems to be a permissions issue with the public folders and shared calendars. 
    When trying to access the public folders for which permissions have been assigned to the linked account from the trusted domain account, I get an error, or just can't see the folders.  The only way I can view public folders is by setting default permissions
    on the folder to 'Read'. 
    I've found some other threads that reference this problem, and a blog that no longer exists as the solution:

  • Problem with IMAP Public Folders in Mail

    I use Mail v. 3.6 on a Mac (OSX.5.8) and recently started a new job and given a university email account. I was able to set up an IMAP account in Mail to access these emails. The problem is that the University Exchange server has dozens of "Public Folders". I do not even have access to these email, but Mail is constantly checking for new emails and downloading hundreds of them.
    I can't figure out any way of unsubscribing from these Public Folders. I have asked the Tech. people in my department but they say that this is a known glitch with OSX and Mail.
    Can anyone help?

    While you have posted in the section for Snow Leopard and Mail 4.x, you report you are using Mail 3.6 and 10.5.8. I am not currently booted into Leopard to check for this, but in Mail Help for Mail 4.x, searching on Subscribe indicates the option is present. In your Mail, click on Help and search with "subscribe" to see what is said. I think this was a problem in Mail 3.x, but cannot verify at present.

  • Problems opening PDF's from Public Folders

    We have several Public Folders on an Exchange 2003 server that store some reference documents for users. Before updating to Reader X there were no issues opening these files. Since the update to Reader X the documents now take, depending on the circumstance, either 30 seconds or 120 seconds before they open. The exact behavior is as follows:
    All PDF documents in a Public Folder...
    -PDF embedded in an email will display immediately.
    -PDF dropped in the public folder will wait 2 minutes before displaying.
    -Same as above but with another instance of Reader already open the PDF will take 30 seconds before displayed. Before displaying the document I receive a "Error opening the Document. This file cannot be found" error message.
    The timing delay is related to DCOM timing out and creates an entry in the System event log when this happens. Event error is as follows: "The server {B801CA65-A1FC-11D0-85AD-444553540000} did not register with DCOM within the required timeout."
    All other Reader behavior is correct. We are currently using XP SP3/Outlook 2003. Anyone with any ideas on how to resolve this?
    Thanks,
    Larry

  • Problems syncing Iphone with Public folders in exchange on our server?

    We have downloaded and installed the latest version of Itunes. We have our calendars as public folders on our office exchange server. When we go to set up the sync, under calendars the first time we open it up, it shows a list of our public calendar folders but they are all greyed out and only gives us the option of "calendar". Once we sync as a test to see what happens, the list of our public folder calendars no longer appears. What do we need to do, to sync our Iphone, using Itunes, with the public calendar folder on our server. I know it sees them because of the initial list. But I can not get the phone to sync to a public calendar. Any helpful suggestions?

    Tried that, I get the following when I go to the Public Folder Management Console:
    Cannot complete the operation because there isn't an available public folder database on server
    And even if I did that how does that help me retrieve my missing information?

  • 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.
    http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/exchange/en-US/f96df4f4-a554-4b4e-a7bd-c9f639b09216/public-folders-calendar-extremely-slow?forum=exchangesvradminlegacy

    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.

  • Accounts made in o365 can't access legacy public folders - Migrated through 2010/2013 Hybrid can access

    We've added two 2013 hybrid servers to our existing 2010 environment.  Added the CAS role to all 2010 mailbox servers per ( https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn249373%28v=exchg.150%29.aspx ) and currently have public folders (located on our
    2010 mailbox servers) working in Outlook client for users whose mailboxes have been migrated from on-prem 2010 to o365.  The problem is when we create a new user in o365, that user CAN see that we have public folders via Outlook client, but when we expand
    the public folder list a credential window pops up and will not accept any set of credentials (even those of working hybrid migrated accounts).
    We are following this method when creating new o365 accounts:
    1) Make a user in AD
    2) Dirsync the user
    3) License the user for exchange
    4) Run on on-prem mailbox server via Exchange Management Shell: Enable-RemoteMailbox "[email protected]" -RemoteRoutingAddress "[email protected]"
    5) In o365 Remote Exchange Powershell run: Get-Mailbox -identity "[email protected]" |fl Identity,ExchangeGUID
    6) Copy ExchangeGUID
    7) Back on on-prem mailbox server via Exchange Management Shell: Set-RemoteMailbox "[email protected]" -ExchangeGUID <paste GUID here>
    8) Dirsync the user again
    I've compared two Remote User Mailboxes, ones that were migrated via Hybrid, and ones that were created in o365 and the settings look identical outside of the attribute "RemoteRecipientType" is set to Migrated vs ProvisionMailbox.  I'm not
    sure what else the difference in these accounts could possibly be that would be causing this credential failure.
    Any thoughts would be appreciated.

    Hi,
    Please do the following steps to create an Exchange Online mailbox in your Hybrid environment:
    Method 1: Create a remote mailbox for an existing user.
    If you already have created a user in Active Directory, and the user has already been synced to online with license, we can give that user a mailbox in Exchange Online by using the Exchange Management Shell cmdlet Enable-RemoteMailbox on
    your on-premise Exchange server:
    Get-User “User1” | Enable-RemoteMailbox
    Then the mailbox is enabled with an Exchange Online mailbox. We can check the mailbox by running the following command in On-premise Exchange server:
    Get-RemoteMailbox “Test1” | FL *address*
    Method 2: Directly create a new remote mailbox.
    1. Create the remote mailbox in On-premise Exchange server by running:
    $Credentials = Get-Credential
    New-RemoteMailbox -Name "Test2" -Password $Credentials.Password -UserPrincipalName
    [email protected]
    2. Launch dirsync and assign a license to the newly created user with Office 365 account.
    Then Test2 can sign in, using his on premises credentials, and open his online mailbox.
    For more information about the remote mailbox, please refer to:

  • Exchange 2003 - 2010. Moving public folders one at a time

    Hi all,
    I'm in the process of decomisioning our old Exchange 2003 server (long overdue after what has been a relativly smooth and trouble free transition to 2010). As the first step in the decomisioning process, I'm looking to move the public folders from the 2003
    box to the 2010 box. From my understanding there are a couple of ways to achieve this (please correct me if I'm wrong). The first is to add the Exchange 2010 server as a new replication partner, allow for replication of the PFs to occur, and then remove the
    2003 partner from the replication partnership. The other option is to use MoveAllReplicas.ps1.
    I opted for the first option, but the problem I have is that the initial replication process started to generate a very large number of transaction logs on the Exchange 2010 server, to the point I was slightly conccerned I was going to run out of space on
    the volume (our server is backed up nightly at which point the transaction logs are normally flushed).Whilst I know I could potentially increase the size of the volume or turn on cicular logging for the duration of the migration (neither of which is appealing
    as it will involve down time), I was wondering if there was a way to move a smaller set of Public folders one at a time with a powershell command, or is it an all or nothing operation? My other option may be to replicate a small subset of folders everyday,
    but that just a little painful as there are a large number of child folders with in the structure. Any other suggestions welcome!
    Many thanks,
    Rob

    Hi,
    If your Public Folder Database is large, you can use tool like Exfolders or ESM to add replica folder by folder.

  • Cannot expand public folders in Outlook but can in OWA

    Hi All,
    I have a problem which I hope some one might be able to shed some light on. Firstly, the environment is Exchange 2010 (v 14.01.0438.000) and all clients use Outlook 2007. We have one user in the organisation who recently noticed that he cannot expand public
    folders. He had been able to do so a couple of months back but could not pin point the time it stopped working. The error received reads :-
    "Cannot expand the folder. The set of folders cannot be opened. The attempt to log on to Microsoft Exchange has failed."
    I thought that this might be a permissions issue but this particular user can access the public folders via OWA. Also, my AD account was a copy of this user's and I can access public folders without issue.
    I have tried the following so far :-
    Tried running Outlook in safe mode
    Tried recreating the Outlook profile.
    Tried creating a new Outlook profile on a different client PC.
    Tried running Outlook in cached an online modes.
    Ran Exchange BPA and found no issues.
    Checked ADSIedit for old administrative groups left over from past migrations.
    used the test-outlook connectivity cmdlet from powershell which ran it's tests successfully.
    This user originally set up all the public folders and was still listed as the owner of all of them.
    Tried creating a new public folder.
    Checked for an Outlook update that had caused a similar issue.
    All the above failed to progress the situation. I have come across posts online that sound very similar, one stated that a Microsoft tech had found a permission that wasn't correct but didn't list which permission and the other related to an update to Outlook
    that had triggered it. I can confirm it's not the update and I have checked permissions in the public folder management utility in Exchange. Also, my AD account is a copy of his and I can access the folders without issue.
    I have also considered what may have changed on the network recently. The only major change has been a new admin password but I cannot see how that would be relevant.
    Any help would be hugely appreciated!
    Thanks in advance!

    Hello John: We are having the exact same issue. Thank you for the great description, it hits the nail on the head for an issue that is tough to explain.   Did rebuilding the mailbox fix the problem? We thought a next step would be to create a new
    AD profile for the user all together,  although replacing the user herself would be easier for us. She obviously caused this problem and will most likely cause us more problems that might be worse if she keeps clicking and sliding on every thing that
    is shiny to see what it does..
    I can only surmise that CaRa ChEn has decided to "better understand customer views on social support experience" elsewhere.  I think the only logic for the mailbox suggestion would be "grasping for straws" and it is the only thing you have not tried
    so far.  (Other than replacing the user).  Pactera employees get points for being the first to reply to a question and the first to have a suggestion marked as helpful as well as the sheer quantity of replies to the forums that are made.  High
    value is placed on moving posts to different forums as well so I thought I would ask quick before the thread gets shoveled somewhere else..  If she needs help with the interview project she can find plenty of my thoughts here in the community.
    Thanks again, and we will reply back if replacing the user (account) does NOT solve the problem, otherwise one can assume we are happy campers again our new employee and remember just because it is blinking does not mean you should click on it.  :)
    Best regards,

  • Outlook Public Folders- Some Documents Persistently Open Read-Only

    We have been having this issue for a few months.
    Previously, users could navigate to Public Folders and open Excel or Word documents, make changes, save and close without issue.
    When this problem first started, users were getting files open as Read Only. We were unsure why this was happening and could not find a fix, so we put out an instructional document on how to: disable Protected view in Excel or Word, turn off attachment previewing
    in Outlook and disable the preview pane. If users performed these steps, they could then operate without an issue.
    Now it is occurring again, even with the above fixes in place. We tried setting up a Group Policy to make these settings and it didn't help.
    My sysadmin had me block the following updates in WSUS: 2687567, 2965295 and 2956128. We thought this may be the cause but to no avail. On my work desktop and laptop it occurs with these updates not installed.
    We can access the documents OK, without Read Only status using Outlook Web Access. We are using a mix of Windows 7 Professional and Enterprise. We are using Exchange 2008, Office 2010.
    Thanks for any help you can provide.

    Hi,
    Based on my knowledge, since Outlook 2010, it seems to be by design.
    The easiest way to open and modify the attachment in the message, is to "Edit" the message, then open the attachment, make changes in the attachment and save the attachment, then Save the Message.
    You mentioned "Previously", was that a previous version of Outlook?

  • Exchange 2007 to 2013 Migration issues. Prompt for credentials, Public Folders inaccessible, Apps not working

    Exchange 2013 Migration issues
    I have three issues and decided to list them here. Please pick and choose to assist. Thanks in advance.
    Environment:
    Mixed 2007 SP3 R12 and 2013 CU3. 2007 Environment was webmail.domain.com. I installed new Exchange 2013 (1 CAS, 1 Mailbox) according to:
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff805032(v=exchg.150).aspx. Exchange 2007 is now legacy.domain.com and Exchange 2013 CAS is webmail.domain.com.
    Machine 1: Windows 8.1, not domain joined, using Outlook Anywhere external. Outlook 2013
    Machine 2: Windows 7, domain joined, using Outlook Anywhere internal. Outlook 2010 SP2
    I have migrated 1 user so far to Exchange 2013. This user was a Domain Admin. I have removed that membership. I checked the box to inherit permissions of the security of the object and reset the AdminCount attribute in ADSIedit to 0 and verified this replicated
    to all domain controllers. ( I originally thought this to be the issue with it prompting for the password. )
    Here is a Get-OutlookAnywhere cmdlet...

    ISSUE 1
    Issue: On Machine 1 (reference above) Windows Security prompt that says "Connecting to
    [email protected]". Almost always prompts when Outlook is first opened. Afterwards (if it goes away) seemingly random on when it asks for it. I put in the credentials (absolutely correct) and it fails and prompts again.
    I always check the box for it to save the password. To get rid of it, I click the Cancel button at which Outlook reports "NEED PASSWORD", but still acts fine sending and receiving emails. Eventually the "NEED PASSWORD" sometimes changes
    to say "CONNECTED", but it works regardless.
    No issues on Machine 2 so I don't know where the problem might be as there are a lot of variables in play here.
    ISSUE 2
    Migrated user is unable to open Public folders from Exchange 2007.
    Cannot expan the folder. Microsoft Exchange is not available. Either there are network problems or the Exchange server is down for maintenance. (/o=...).
    This error occurs on Machine 1, Machine 2 and from OWA, same error each time.
    ISSUE 3
    Apps. Installed by default are 4 apps (Bing Maps, Suggested Meetings, Unsubscribe, Action Items). I have made sure the apps are enabled in OWA and they show up in mail items on both Machine 1 (Outlook 2013) and OWA. They do not show up in Machine 2 (Outlook
    2010). I'm assuming that isn't supported.
    In OWA, when I go to the installed apps listing it shows all of the apps but has a broken link on the image describing the app.
    When I click the app in either Outlook 2013 or in OWA, I get "APP ERROR, Sorry we can't load the app. Please make sure you have network and/or internet connectivity. Click "Retry" once you're back online.
    Current workaround is just disabling them through OWA.

    Hello,
    In order to avoid confusion, we troubleshoot a issue per thread usually.
    For your first isue, I agree with Ed's suggestion to check if your certificate name is correct.
    Besides, I recommend you change ExternalClientAuthenticationMethod from Basic authentication to Negotiate authentication to check the result.
    For the second issue and third issue, please create a new post.
