Space for public folders

Hello,
I am worried that there is not enough space for my public folder replica move to Exchange 2010. Where does exchange store the public folders. Are they stored within the exchange mailbox databases or are they stored separately please?
Also how do I tell where the public folder master replica is please?
Cheers,
PenDraKon

in Exchange 2010 under database you will see A Dediczted database for PublicFolder
open the powershell and run this command
Get-PublicFolderDatabase | fl name, EdbFilePath

Announcing Office 365 compliance toolset for public folders

Announcing compliance toolset for public foldersWe are pleased to announce that the Office 365 archiving and eDiscovery toolset is being extended to include public folders. Customers can now place public folder content on hold to preserve it for legal or regulatory requirements. They can perform eDiscovery functions on public folder data, including search, preview and export. Entire public folders or specific content (based on keywords) can be preserved immutably. They can delete aged items out of public folders. And all administrative activities on public folders are fully audited. Throughout all these operations, users can continue to interact with public folder data without any change in their experienceTo perform an eDiscovery search on public folders, you simply specify “public folders” as the source.

What should/can be an alternative for public folders?

Hi people!
Scenario:
Exchange 2010 SP3, Outlook 2013 on client side.
Users like to work with public folders especially because the share the same folder and then they drag & drop items to subfolders.
Now the plan in near future is to migrate Exchange 2010 to 2013.
We would like to stop using Public folders and we were wondering what alternatives does Exchange 2013 offers to us?
Users still need to be able to so the same folder, and see drag&drop changes to other folders.
Any advice?

Exchange 2013 has modern public folders. Why not use those?

Exchange 2010 - visibility of items in Public Folders

Hello all,
I already posted this question to the German Exchange 2010 forum, but have not gotten an answer yet. So I hope to be more lucky in the English forum.
Environment: Exchange 2010 SP3 RU4, 2 replicas for Public Folders, Outlook 2007 cache Mode
Problem:
Some of our users have a phenomenon when working with mail enabled Public Folders:
User has the focus set to Public Folder A, an email is sent there (and correctly delivered) but remains invisible to the user. When he changes the focus to point to his inbox or to Public Folder B and directly changes back to folder A he can see the email.
Other users can see the email directly on delivery without leaving the folder first.
When an affected user adds Public Folder A to his Public Folder Favorites he can see that an email is delivered from the change in numbers of unread mails (number in brackets behind folder name).
I already checked the Exchange server to see if there is a replication related problem (though the default Public Folder DB is the same for all mailbox databases). Even after a successful replication an effected user does not see the email unless he leaves
the folder and re-opens it.
As the problem does not affect all users having permissions to this folder I picked one affected user and tried to remedy the issue as follows:
- deleted the existing Outlook profile and re-created it => without success
- deleted the user profile and re-created it => without success
We use Outlook Cache Mode (set by policy, so the user cannot deactivate it) but there is no Public Folder data downloaded.
When I create a new mail enabled Public Folder to test the scenario with an affected user everything works without problems, he can see an email on delivery.
As far as I know this problem occurs with only two folders (and for both folders only a few users are affected - different users for each folder) I do not know what else to do. Can someone please give me a hint where to look at? Thanks in advance.
Kind regards,
Klaus

The user is caching the public folder. When he changes the focus and goes back, it tells Outlook to update. In my experience, I've seen that Outlook only gets the update notices for the primary mailbox, so cached shared mailboxes are generally
rarely updated. We have stopped caching shared mailboxes for this reason and others. Think of the following scenario:
Ten different users perform actions on items in a shared mailbox
When they first get the message, they move it to a subfolder in the mailbox (so it won't be there for other users)
Since users are working in Cached mode, they will see an out-of-date image of the mailbox - they will move the item in their copy of the mailbox, but that won't be reflected in the other mailboxes until their copy updates to the server, then the server updates
the other copies. Talk about being lagged ...

Why are emails in public folders being marked as read when viewed in the viewing pane when I have disabled this in settings

I am using office 2010 on a windows 7 PC. In outlook I have changed the settings for the reading pane so that emails are not marked as read unless I actually open them. This is working for emails in my inbox and outbox but not for emails in public
folders. Emails in public folders are marked as read as soon as I click on them. Do public folders have a different setting for marking email as read in the reading pane?
It is important for me that emails in the public folders are not marked as read when i click on them as I need to read through hundreds of project emails in these folders and need to be able to distinguish between emails I have read and actioned
and emails I have just clicked on while searching for an email I need. This folder serves as an archive for my emails so i cant delete them once I have read them. I also don't have permission to label them or create tasks from them.

Hi,
I tested in my lab, it worked for public folders. My Outlook version is Outlook 2013.
Please open Outlook in safe mode to check result.
If possible, please check if this issue persists from a different client server.

Outlook 2013 search not working with public folders

Hi everybody,
We have a problem that our Outlook 2013 clients cant search public folders. Any search we try returns empty results. We are running exchange 2013. Outlook is running in cached mode.
Thank you!

Hi
To solve the issues in Outlook 2013, please follow these steps: -
In order to have the Instant Search feature for Public Folders behave the same as for your mailbox, the following conditions must be meet: -
Outlook must be configured to cache
Public Folder Favorites.
(and of course the caching and indexing must have been completed)
The
Public Folder must be marked as a Public Folder Favorite.
The search must be performed from within the
Favorites section of your Public Folders tree and not from its actual location within
All Public Folders.
Thanks and regards

Exchange 2013 Public Folders Array Dimensions Have Exceeded Supported Range

Hello,
I have another odd issue for public folders on Exchange 2013. I am working with an environment with a bit over 3000 Public Folders and we are having some issues where some users are not able to access the public folder. When I try to change the permissions
to those folders I get the error of:
"Array Dimensions Have Exceeded Supported Range"
The environment is a 2 Node DAG with all components installed on each server. The latest Roll Up has been in stalled on both servers as well.
Thanks in Advance

Outlook 2013 Public Folders search

Hi all. I'm having issues with one of my users trying to search a specific folder on public folders in outlook 2013. I've added the folder to the user's favorites list so it can cache a local copy to speed up searches. When the user clicks on the folder contained in the favorites tab, the user can see the inbox with real-time inbound mails. However, when doing a search, the results are returned but it immediately begins to remove the results one by one, from most recent to oldest. I say remove because I don't know if they're being deleted or not.
I've been digging through all my settings and I still cannot figure out where this issue is happening. Any ideas what I can do?

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,

Outlook 2007 Outlook Anywhere Clients - No Public Folders?

I have MS Outlook 2007 clients connecting to an Exchange 2013 server using Outlook Anywhere. My problem is that I can't see the Public Folders section in the Folder list (I'm sure I'm viewing the Folder list and not the Mail view). Any ideas why this is
the case?

What does your connection status window show? Does is show "connecting" for public folders? This might point to a network or DNS resolution issue especially if it works fine in a different location.
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb123650(v=exchg.65).aspx
DJ Grijalva | MCITP: EMA 2007/2010 SPA 2010 | www.persistentcerebro.com
It says "Connected to Microsoft Exchange". No indication it is trying to connect and we aren't having any other issues with the connection.
Just to clarify: For all our computers on our domain at our location, the Public Folders section shows up. For remote users that are connecting via Outlook Anywhere the Public Folders section is gone. Not even certain folders within that - the whole section
just doesn't show up like my screenshot shows. Weird.
Should there be a Public Folders section in OWA? If I'm not seeing it there I guess it would make sense that my remote users connecting via Outlook Anywhere wouldn't be seeing it?

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

2010 - 2013 Migration of Public Folders blank spaces in Public Folder names

So I found the problem that I was running into with this thread:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/466106c8-33a4-4474-83eb-2f6451e0d4eb/2010-2013-public-folder-migration-failed-property-expression-isnt-valid?forum=exchangesvrdeploy , however the question I have is a bulk solution for this problem.
The customer I am working with has just shy of 200GB of Public Folder items with many, well organized public folders that they have been using for many years. I am trying to finish up their migration to 2013 and the solution of ADSI Edit removing blank spaces
is not going to be a good option, it would add days to the migration and many hours of labor.
What I am looking for is to see if there is a way to remove these spaces in a bulk or automated fashion. It may be asking a lot but it will save MUCH time and effort. If there is anyone that has any ideas I would love to hear them.
Thanks,
Joe

I ended up opening a support case with MS to resolve this issue. The issue took us through a few different things, on our Get-PublicFolders we had to add the -ResultSize Unlimited flag. He had a modified script that enumerated all of the special characters
and performed a replace like the script in the prior link had performed.
From there we also had another issue with trailing blank characters. For that we had a three step process.
1. Get the list of Public Folders that were Mail Enabled
2. Disable Mail for all Public Folders
3. Enable Mail flow to the above Public Folders that had mail flow going to them.
Finally I was able to get the public folders to migrate.

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. )

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.
