SL, Exchange and public folders

Hi, has someone found a way how to see public folders, calendars?
all the rest works sweet and fine.

No. I think we have to wait for a future release of Mail.app,
The EWS protocol used by Mail.app can handle public folders (as seen in Entourage 2008 Web Service Edition), but until now Apple does not support it. I even tried to create a additional Exchange IMAP account, but Exchange 2007 does not support public folder access via IMAP. Exchange 2003 supports it, but does not support EWS.
End of the story for now.

Migrate Exchange 2003 Public folders and OAB to Office365?

Hi guys,
I am trying to migrate exchange 2003 public folders to office 365. I have read various documentation however they were either out of date or half-solutions.
The company stored OAB's in each public folder as well, how do I go about migrating these lists into office 365? Will it just "work" if I migrate the public folders across?
Thanks,
Alex

Hi,
If you are migrating from inhouse 2003 to office 365, then the best options for you are-
1. Either you can go for the manaul process. You can create PST files and can upload them to mailboxes through office 365 account.
Kindly refer the below mentioned link for the same
http://blogs.technet.com/b/canitpro/archive/2013/05/31/step-by-step-migration-of-exchange-2003-server-to-office-365.aspx
2. Or you can go for any 3rd party tool using the same you can migrate your public folders to office 365. This is required when you need to avoid the risks associated and need to keep your environment up and running even while migration process. Respond
back for third party tool suggestions.

Exchange Mail Setup and Public Folders

V1.01 effected some changes in how the iPhone interacts with an Exchange server. Unfortunately, in my case, they were not positive changes.
In V1.00 the iPhone would create three folders - Inbox, Deleted Items, and Sent Items in the local mailbox. It would ignore most other folders created on the Exchange server such as Calendar, Notes, Spam, and Public folders to name a few.
In V1.01 the iPhone now processes all the folders on the Exchange server. If I have twenty folders on my Exchange account, all those folders appear on my iPhone. Okay, that is acceptable. However ALL Public folders are now being downloaded to the iPhone as well. NOT okay!
I now have hundreds of public folders sitting on my iPhone that I do not want there. After discussing this with some IT guys, the finger seems to be pointing at a broken implementation of IMAP on the iPhone, specifically its inability to define subscriptions - delecting or deselcting folders for populating locally on the iPhone.
I hope this issue can be addressed, and of course true direct push email implemented for Exchange email accounts.

Hi Paul,
I replied to a post from you in another thread. It's easy to miss though, so here's what I said:
"You should tell mail2web that there is an option in Exchange to hide public folders from IMAP clients. I'm an IT manager at a large software company with 50% of our users on Macs. We turned on the option to hide public folders from IMAP clients a while ago, long before the iPhone. It's worked very well and continues to work for iPhone people (like me!).
There was no reason for us to make public folders viewable via IMAP, so hopefully the same will be true for mail2web."
I'm actually really glad that Apple made this change. I want to see most of the folders at the inbox level in Exchange and with the Exchange switch turned on to hide public folders, there's no downside.

Migrating from Exchange 2007 to Exchange 2013 Public Folders coexistence

Hi all, I'm migrating from Exchange 2007 SP3 to Exchange 2013 SP1.
I have an Exchange 2007 server (Client Access, Hub Transport and Mailbox Server) in Site A, mailboxes and Publics Folders
In another Site in Site B, I have already installed (Client Access and Mailbox Server) Exchange 2013 server.
I am migrating test users, the fact is that users who migrated to Exchange Server 2013 Public folders do not see.
How I can make the migrated users from viewing the Exchange 2007 Public Folders duration coexistence?
Is there a "how to" to migrate Public Folders from Exchange 2007 to Exchange 2013?
thank you very much
Microsoft Certified IT Professional Server Administrator

Hi,
In Exchange 2013, the Public Folder is changed to Public Folder mailbox instead of Public Folder in Exchange 2007 database.
Due to the changes in how public folders are stored, legacy Exchange mailboxes are unable to access the public folder hierarchy on Exchange 2013 servers. However, user mailboxes on Exchange 2013 servers or Exchange Online can connect to legacy
public folders. Exchange 2013 public folders and legacy public folders can’t exist in your Exchange organization simultaneously. This effectively means that
there’s no coexistence between versions.
For this reason, it’s recommended that prior to migrating your public folders, you should
first migrate your all legacy mailboxes to Exchange 2013. For more information about migrating public folder from previous versions, please refer to:

Migrate Exchange 2010 public folders cross forests

Hi,
Due to some Exchange and Active Directory issues (with remnants of old Ex 2003 server), we are going to migrate Exchange 2010 Mailboxes and public folders to a new Exchange 2010 Sp3 server, which is created in a new AD forest.
One thing we still have to decide, which is how to migrate public folders.
Apparently there are 2 ways:
1. To export PF data to PST and then import using Outlook in destination Exchange server
2. To use interorg replication tool to replicate PFs cross forest in target Exchange Server.
I would really appreciate if someone suggests which one is best. We have around 100GB of PF data.
Also, should we migrate Public Folders first? We think that we should move Mailboxes first.
Thanks in anticipation.
Regards, David Johnson

Hi,
Yes, when we decide to migrate from one Exchange server to another server, we need to move mailbox first.
About migrating public folders, both of these two solutions are available, I think that the first one is simpler.
Here is a similar thread for your reference.

Extract all "business fax" phone numbers from all users contacts and public folders

Hello,
I'm looking for any method to be able to extract "business fax" phone numbers from every user's contact list and public folders contacts.
Is this possible, perhaps with PowerShell?
We are using Exchange 2010, but this forum posting site only lets me choose Exchange 2013.   Is Exchange 2010 still supported?

I recevied a reply from the Script Center, telling me to post in the Exchange Developer forums.
From the Exchange Developer forums I received replies that basically told me I need to figure this out myself and they are not a free consulting service.   Here are the exact words....
Reply:
You need to understand that either you have to try to learn Exchange and scripting or you need to search for solutions.
In most cases with EX2010 there are many utilities build into the EMS that can do almost anything you need however, you need to learn Exchange to be able to even know what to ask for, This is not a free consulting forum. It is a forum for
professionals who use scripting in their work or who are currently learning how to use scripts.
If you are basically versed in Exchange you wil know that the EX2010 home site has all of the resource links. You should always start there.
You need to either get a good book on Exchange administration or sign up for a class in Exchange. It is not possible to guess at how to manage an Exchange installation. Exchange is one of the most complex system Microsoft has ever created.
It may even be more complex that MSSQLServer. You must be trained at some minimum level to work effectively with Exchange.

Outlook personal and public folders via Entourage?

I'm the only Mac user in my company and for the most part, this relatively new transition has been seamless. The only tricky part has been with personal and public folders that are currently in Outlook - I can't see them in Entourage. Instead of having an intranet, we have all of our policies, forms, procedures, and general (corporate) information in Public Folders, and then our email accounts are limited and we're instructed to use Personal Folders for any emails that need to be kept longer than 60 days.
Has anyone else run into this, and if so, were you able to find a solution?
Many thanks,
Sabrina

I thought Entourage WAS an Apple product.
Nope. M$ product. Always has been.
why we chose to use Entourage instead of Mail in the first place
Possibly because it's closer to Outlook in "feel" and is somewhat easier to configure from an IT perspective (i.e. they don't have to do anything to get Entourage to communicate with an MS Exchange server).
Mail can be configured to work with an Exchange server, either by having IMAP support enabled on the server side, or by configuring mail to access the OWA (Outlook Web Access) server. Your IT group should be able to help there (note that "should" does not necessarily mean "will!).
Hope this helps...

Difference between shared and public folders

I know this may be a simple question, but can anyone tell me the difference between the shared folder and the public folder? To me, they both seem to serve the same purpose and work in the same way.

Hi Will,
Search for 'keep shared files' in the Mac Help on
your computer. The descriptions there should hopefuly
clear things up.
Hope that helps.
iBod,
I know it has been a long time since you responed to this, but I am just getting around to revisiting it. The descriptions make the shared and public folders seem to be different, but in use they appear to function in an identical manner. Is there really any difference in the way they work? If not, why bother having two specialty folders that do the same thing?
Thanks,
Will

Exchange 2010 Public Folders Cannot Change Permissions Errors from Management Console and Powershell

From ExFolders we get error "Exception: Object Reference not set to an instance of an object"
Any thought on how to fix permissions, people who already had permission in the past can see and access them OK and all objects, but we cannot change/update or remove permissons
We alos receive similar error from the powershell.

Hi,
Could
you please add a new public folder hierarchies with ADSIEdit as following setups.
For how to use ADSIEdit ,you can access:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc773354(WS.10).aspx
1.Run ADSIEdit, right click Exchange Administrative Group under “Configuration \ services \ Microsoft
Exchange \ Organization name \ Administrative groups”.
2.Select New Object.
3.Select msExchPublicFolderTreeContainer for the class and click Next.
4.Enter the following for the value:
Folder Hierarchies, click Next.
5.Click Finish.
6.Create
Public Folder Tree Object.
7.Right click CN=Folder Hierarchies -> New Object.
8.Selected msExchPFTree for the class.
9.For the value we entered, "Public Folders" and clicked next.
10.Clicked on the "More Attributes" button, selected msExchPFTreeType .
11.Set the value
to 1.
Note: This is very important that this value is set
to a value of 1 as This tells Exchange that this is a MAPI Tree.
12.Click Ok and then finish.
13.We then went
to the properties of the newly created "Public Folders" Tree object in
ADSIEdit.
14.Copy the distinguished name value
to the clipboard and then click cancel.
15.Navigate
to the Storage group that contains the Public
Folder Store for this server and get properties of the server.
16.Locate the msExchOwningPFTree attribute and paste in the value that was copied
from the Public folders Distinguish name attribute.
17.Restart the Information Store Service.
18.Mounted and dismount the PF store.
19.Open Outlook with administrator,give full permission to default owner.
Hope it can help you!

Exchange Online Protection and Public Folders

Hi,
We have just been migrated to Exchange Online Protection from FOPE and although users can now manage their own quarantines, they cannot do this for Mail Enabled Public Folders. Is this possible?
Many Thanks

Snow Leopard Mail 4.4, Exchange Server, and Public Folders

I'm still confused about Apple's claim for the advantages of the Snow Leopard Mail program being of such significance to Corporate usage when it does not appear to support access to Public Folders when using an Exchange 2007 (or 2010) profile. Within a Corporate environment, Public Folders are one of the benefits for using Exchange.
Am I missing something?

JL,
What you are missing is the exchange! You can check your e-mail in an Exchange account, but you just can't "exchange" anything with others. I can't for the life of me figure out why such a fundamental feature was left out. While Apple is certainly capable of ignoring a feature like this, Microsoft itself has said that the days of public folders are numbered. I think that since Exchange has become more of a standard rather than proprietary, Microsoft prefers to cripple it in favor of something (Sharepoint) that will be proprietary. Why have something simple, that works, when you can complicate it with something new!
The best I can tell, there is no support for public folders in mail.app for Snow Leopard. However, I can't really find a post that firmly states that. There seems to have been support for public folders in the past (pre-Snow) through IMAP. I'm not really sure how that worked, but I've already upgraded, so it's too late for me.
I'd be happy to hear a firm explanation of this from someone from Apple (or otherwise connected).
Good Luck, Jack

Exchange 2003 to Exchange 2010 Public Folders

Hi Gurus, I’m in the process of moving public folders from Exch03 to Exch2010 and I have some clarifications before I proceed with this task. As I have understood the replication process between public folders working in a multi-master environment, I still
need some deep understanding. Okay, the task is to ensure that we don’t lose any PF when I remove the last Exch03 where there’s a lot of PF residing. From my understanding, these PFs found at Exch03 are only replicas from Exch2010. From testing I can verify
that the Outlook clients are looking at Exch2010. The way I tested this is by creating a test PF from Outlook and it did reflected on Exch2010 PF. Looking Exch03 for a couple of days, the test PF never reflected there so I'm just just assuming that there's
no replication happening between Exch2010 and Exch2010.
Please verify on this. Does it mean that Exch2010 is not replicating to Exch03?
If yes, if I remove the PFs from Exch2003 without moving the replicas first to Exch2010, like plainly removing them for decommission, will that delete/remove the PFs on Exch2010?
I have a feeling that it don’t because the PFs I’m creating/deleting at Exch03 are all replicas and I don't see any of the PFs that I deleted at Exch03 to also get deleted at Exch2010. More likely the PFs I'm creating at Exch2010 are not replication across
to Exch03 and therefore removing these PFs at Exch03 should not affect the PFs at Exch2010.
Please confirm on this before I proceed.
Note that I've already taken copy of these Exchange servers because these are all VMs.
Thanks....

Hi,
When you add Exchange 2010 to the replica list on Exchange 2003 server, it will replicate the Exchange 2003 Public Folder hierarchy and content to Exchange 2010, not from Exchange 2010 to Exchange 2003.
You can remove public folders on Exchange 2003 without affecting the public folders which have been replicated to Exchange 2010.
Before you decide to remove Exchange 2003 server, I recommend you put the Exchange 2003 server offline temporarily to check if Exchange 2010 works well.
Best regards,

Unable to Manage custom forms in Exchange 2013 Public Folders or Organizational Forms Library

We've been doing custom forms development for many years and many versions of Exchange. This Exchange 2013 presented me with this new problem. We use Exchange 2013 with Cumulative Update 5, and Outlook 2007, 2010 and 2013. This problem
happens on all versions of the latest patched Outlooks.
1) I have successfully created a Public Folder and an Organizational Forms Library
2) I have granted myself "Owner" privilege to the entire public folder in both the IPM_Subtree and the Non_IPM_Subtree
3) I can publish forms into a Public Folder and the Organizational Forms Library
But, after the form is published, I can't manage it. The COPY, UPDATE, DELETE, PROPERTIES, and SAVE AS buttons are greyed out.
This does not happen for anything in my Personal Forms, my Mailbox or anything in Favorites that are locally cached.
Since the Organizational Forms Library cannot be "Cached" by putting it in Favorites, there seems to be NO way to even delete a form that is published to there.
The closest link that describes a similar (maybe same) problem is
http://www.michev.info/Blog/Post/14/Unable-to-manage-Forms-in-Outlook
A) Anybody else have the same problem?
B) Since it seems I only have control over forms in my Mailbox, and since Public Folders are suppose to be an mailbox, does anyone know how to setup a Public Folder so that you can login to it and attach it as a mailbox?
C) Does anyone know how to make the Organizational Forms Library cached locally so it can be managed?
J Awe TechBldrs Inc. www.TechBldrs.com

Easy steps to reproduce the problem.
1) create a public folder subfolder (do not create a Favorite)
2) make yourself and OWNER
3) publish a form to the subfolder (Open a any form and save it with any name)
4) use the Form Manager select the public folder subfolder that you are an OWNER of
5) select a form and see if the buttons are GRAYED out.
PLEASE TRY THIS ON YOUR OWN SYSTEMS TO VERIFY THE PROBLEM.
