1. What is Public Folder?
Public folder is a collaboration feature of Microsoft Exchange Server that creates a repository of information that is accessible to any user who has been granted permission to the folder. A public folder can contain mail items calendar item, task items or custom forms
2. What is Default Public Folder Tree?
The default public folder tree is automatically created by the setup program when you install the first exchange server 2003 and create your organization. It is listed as public folders in Exchange system Manager as public folder and it is displayed as all public folders in outlook
3. How the Default Public Folder Tree is listed in Exchange System Manager and Outlook?
Default Public Folder is listed as public folders in Exchange system Manager as public folder and it is displayed as all public folders in outlook
4. What protocols can clients use to access the default public folder tree in Exchange Server 2003?
Client can use MAPI clients or NNTP or HTTP protocols to access the default public folder tree
5. What is General-purpose public folder tree?
General-Purpose public folder trees are additional public folders that you can create. Similar to default public folder tree, the general purpose public folder tree is replicated to each exchange server running Exchange 2000 or later that contains public folder store that associated with that tree.
6. What is the use of general purpose public folder store?
The general purpose of public folder tree is to store custom application
Another purpose of general public folder tree is to make the public folder available to users outside the exchange organization
7. What protocols can clients use to access the General-purpose public folder tree in Exchange Server 2003?
This did not support MAPI clients. So it is not accessible to outlook users. Access only by NNTP or HTTP protocols
8. What are the steps involved in configuring Public Folder replication?
In order to setup replication for the additional public folder,
First you have to create a public store on the destination server that holds the replica.
When you configure the public store, you associate the public folder store with public folder tree.
Even though you associate the public folder store to existing public folder tree, this by itself it won’t enable replication.
Once you have public store on the destination server, you can configure public folder to replicate to other server
9. How does Public folder replication occur?
Exchange server 2003 uses multi master replication model, which means that all replicas of the public folder are equal and contain the same content. A replica copied from one server to another will be a separate instance of public folder and its content, because of this there is no master replica, which means modifications to one replica will be replicated to other replicas equally.
Exchange Information Store service is the primary mechanism used for public folder replication; it is not the only mechanism at work. Active Directory uses a replication method of its own to keep domain controllers synchronized with each other. This replication occurs at the Windows operating system level and is completely independent of Exchange Server.
10. Can Public folder be accessed using a uniform resource locator (URL)?
Yes we can access public folder via URL, example http://servername/virtualdirectory
11. What are the Exchange Public folder permission types?
Following are the Exchange server public folder permissions
Client permission – enables you to control the permission of users who are accessing the public folder
Directory rights – enables you to control which user can manipulate a mail enabled public folder object that is stored in AD
Administrative rights – enables you to assign administrative permission to administrator to run administrative utilities
12. Which services control the Public folder replication process?
Exchange Information Store service is the primary mechanism used for public folder replication Recipient update service controls the recipient replication process
Note: Although the Exchange Information Store service is the primary mechanism used for public folder replication, it is not the only mechanism at work. Active Directory uses a replication method of its own to keep domain controllers synchronized with each other. This replication occurs at the Windows operating system level and is completely independent of Exchange Server. Active Directory replication occurs even if Exchange Server is not installed on the forest
13. Which processes are involved in Public Folder Replication?
Exchange Information Store service is the primary mechanism used for public folder replication; it is not the only mechanism at work. Active Directory uses a replication method of its own to keep domain controllers synchronized with each other. This replication occurs at the Windows operating system level and is completely independent of Exchange Server. Active Directory replication occurs even if Exchange Server is not installed on the forest
14. How to create the General Purpose Public folder tree?
You can have as many General Purpose Public Folder tree as necessary though you must associate the public folder tree with the public folder store in order to use it
First you have to create a public folder tree using exchange system manger
Second you have to create a public folder store
Third you have to associate the store with the public folder tree.
15. How to create a full-text indexing on a public folder?
Expand the First administrative Group, navigate through server, first
16. What is the use of public store policy?
Storage limits and public folder replication settings can be configured through public store policy, through and individual public store, or through individual public folders
17. What is public folder referral?
When a user connects to a public folder store and the store does not contain the copy of the contentment the user is requesting exchange server 2003 automatically redirects the user to the server where the original content resides. This is known as Public folder referral. Usually the public folder referrals with takes place within the routing groups
