#What is an exchange public folder free
Suppose, if the public folder in the Exchange is shown as 50 GB, you need to have about 80-90 GB of free space. Apart from that, depending on the size of your public folders, you must have enough space to store them. Export Public Folder to PST by Using Outlookįor this, you need to have a computer or a virtual machine with Outlook 2013, 2016 or 2019 installed. Let's explore both methods, along with their pros and cons. So, we need to see the alternative methods such as using the Outlook or a third-party tool application. Unfortunately, there are no native tools in Exchange Server to export a public folder to PST file. Exporting could also be required for migration purposes or to restore from a backup of a decommissioned Exchange Server.Ī user mailbox in Exchange server can be easily exported by using the PowerShell cmdlet New-Mailbo圎xportRequest or from the Exchange Admin Center (EAC). The process is the exact same.It is a normal routine to export Exchange mailboxes to PST for archiving purposes or to export other items in Exchange server like Public Folder to PST. How would this look in Office 365? Could we indeed perform the same tasks in a hosted Exchange environment, isolate the folders and then grant group specific permissions. The same configuration could have taken place after the move to 2013 or to Office 365. The above changes were performed in Exchange 2007 because the organization wanted to have this structure in place prior to migrating to Exchange 2013. If the permissions do not appear right away, wait an hour or so and the permissions will eventually apply. When adding permissions to Public Folders in Exchange 2007 the permissions take some time to apply. With this addition the permissions look like this on the ‘Company1’ Public Folder: Get-publicfolder -Identity \company1 | add-PublicFolderClientPermission -User -AccessRights author Once the group is created, we can assign permissions to the folder to allow the users in Company 1 to see their Public Folder tree: Now to add users or Company 1 to access this root, we need to create a Distribution Group (Dynamic or static). That’s great, however, no one can see the folder now…. Then the permissions on the root look like this: Get-publicfolder -Identity \company1 | remove-PublicFolderClientPermission -User default -AccessRights author To set the permissions to none, use this PowerShell one liner: However, if we set default to No, then the folder is no longer visible in an Outlook email client. How do we fix this? If you read the permission levels and what is granted, it would appear the ‘FolderVisible’ right is always available even if the ‘Default’ account is set to ‘None’. This will grant far more permissions than we would like for users in other companies. Note ‘Default’ has ‘Author’ rights assigned to it. Public Folders have several permission groups assigned to the root folders: (1) Reorganize the folders into separate companies and then (2) Hide the other folders from other companies viewing or even seeing the root folders of other companies like this: With this separation of Public Folders there would be two main goals. In order to do this we would re-arrange their folders to have one ‘Root’ folder per organization: While the entities were to share the mail system (Exchange 2013), they wanted certain parts to be isolated (read Public Folders). While doing so, mailbox and Public Folder data will be consolidated to a single DAG cluster. During a recent migration, a client of mine was consolidating multiple organizations. Public Folders are still around in Exchange 2013 and they have been incorporated into Office 365 (it is Exchange Online after all!).
