Re: Public folders missing when System Manager connects to Exchange 2003 server

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

Thanks again for your help.

Using ADSIedit, the "proxyAddresses" field for the Public Folder store of
the Exchange 2003 server is:
SMTP:<servername>-IS@mydomaincom
X400:c=US;a=;p=Company Name;o=Organization;s=<servername>-IS;
Note: These are not the actual values

Any ideas?
