RE: Exchange 2007 - Public Folders

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry



Hi,

Thank you for posting here.

Based on my research, there are two methods to create offline address book.

1. Public folder distribution method:

Create a public folder on Exchange 2007 server and replicate with Exchange
2003 public folder. By default Exchange 2007 do not contain any public
store on it.


2. Create an Offline Address Book Virtual Directory

The OAB virtual directory is the distribution point used by the Web-based
distribution method of the OAB. By default, when Microsoft Exchange Server
2007 is installed, a new virtual directory named OAB is created in the
default internal Web site in Internet Information Services (IIS). If you
have client-side users that connect to Microsoft Outlook from outside your
organization's firewall, you can add an external Web site. Alternatively,
when you run the New-OABVirtualDirectory cmdlet in the Exchange Management
Shell, a new virtual directory named OAB is created in the default IIS Web
site on the local Exchange 2007 server.
To create an OAB virtual directory with all of the default settings, you
can run the New-OABVirtualDirectory cmdlet without any parameters in
Exchange Shell mode.


More info please refer Exchange 2007 help file.

Have a nice day!

Best Regards,

Chace Zhang (MSFT)

| I am in the middle of the transition from 2003 to 2007
|
| Using article

|
| I have completed step 1
| I moved one mailbox in Step 2 (as a test)
|
| In step 3 - Optional (this is for removing Exch 2003 from forest) which I
| plan on doing... MY QUESTION IS THIS:
|
| If I have never created any public folders, do I still need to create a
| replica in Exchange System Manager (2003) to replicate to the Exchange
2007
| Public Mailbox?
|
| I note I do not have to create a replica for OAB / free/busy per the KB

any
| of these?
