By creating a dedicated <a href=\"https:\/\/csop.cirasync.com\/de\/blog\/sync-shared-exchange-contacts-calendars-to-many-iphone-users\/\">shared mailbox to iPhone<\/a>, you can easily migrate important public folder data and make it accessible to users.<\/p>\n<h3>Exchange Public Folder History Lesson<\/h3>\n<p>Since Microsoft Exchange Server 4.0 shipped in 1996, Public Folders were initially a compelling feature of the new messaging platform. \u00a0However, after customers opened the floodgate to Public Folder usage, there were challenges and this collaboration feature got a bad rap:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Public Folders have almost always been quirky to manage in multi-server and multi-site environments.<\/li>\n<li>Adding new user permissions to the PF hierarchy was notoriously difficult.<\/li>\n<li>Replication failures would sometimes result in folder replicas that were out of sync.<\/li>\n<li>Decommissioning of servers can lead to one or more folders being removed from every server.<\/li>\n<li>Microsoft for several years publicly warned it will discontinue support for public folders. Recently it has reversed that stance.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/cirahub.com\/blog\/what-is-sharepoint-and-what-is-it-used-for\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sharepoint<\/a> seemed to be the recommended strategy for customers to replace Public Folders.<\/li>\n<li>Office 365 did not support public folders until recently. <a href=\"http:\/\/technet.microsoft.com\/en-us\/library\/jj200758.aspx\">However, it now does<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>With all of these challenges, it is not surprising that many organizations are moving away from public folders.<\/p>\n<p>Another perspective is a related post on the CiraSync Blog: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cirasync.com\/smartphone-office-365-public-folders\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Do Public Folders Hate Smartphones?<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Although Microsoft had been telling customers for many years to prepare for a discontinuation of Public Folders, Exchange Server 2013 changed the architecture. Public Folders became part of a mailbox database which can take advantage of a <a href=\"http:\/\/technet.microsoft.com\/en-us\/library\/dd979799\">DAG<\/a>. \u00a0With this solution, the Outlook clients will not need to add a secondary mailbox and it may be better than the remaining strategy described below.<\/p>\n<h3>Use a Mailbox instead of a Public Folder store<\/h3>\n<p>By creating a shared mailbox, you can set many users up to share it. The procedure is as follows:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Create the shared mailbox. Give it a very descriptive name to avoid accidental deletion. Place comments on the mailbox description so another sysadmin knows who to contact.<\/li>\n<li>Disable archival features, or at least archive\/delete for this mailbox. These folders are meant for long term reference.<\/li>\n<li>Do not hide the mailbox, because that would make it difficult for users to connect. \u00a0However, you can remove it from the default GAL view.<\/li>\n<li>Make an AD Distribution Group to allow access to the shared mailbox to the appropriate population of users. \u00a0Provide \u201cFull Access\u201d permissions to this group of users.<\/li>\n<li>Decide where you want to create folders. For example, you can use the default contacts folder, or create a new contact folder directly off of the mailbox root folder.<\/li>\n<li>Open up the new shared mailbox and move the public folders into it.<\/li>\n<li>Create instructions for desktop users to open the mailbox from Outlook, and distribute those instructions when you are ready.<\/li>\n<li>If you use the Exchange Powershell to delegate permissions, the Add-AdPermission -AutoMapping attribute could be an effective way to make this mailbox available without having to touch an Outlook Desktop.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>There are several ways to provide access to users:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Using Outlook on the desktop, you can open the shared mailbox as a secondary mailbox. (See Open the Shared Mailbox as a Secondary Mailbox)<\/li>\n<li>Using Outlook on the desktop, you can open the default, contacts, calendar, notes, or tasks folder (See below Opening a single Shared Mailbox Folder)<\/li>\n<li>Using Outlook on the desktop, you can open the default, contacts, calendar, notes, or tasks folder (See below Opening a single Shared Mailbox Folder)<\/li>\n<li>See my <a href=\"https:\/\/csop.cirasync.com\/de\/blog\/sync-shared-exchange-contacts-calendars-to-many-iphone-users\/\">previous post on using a shared folder for access from an iPhone<\/a> or Android smartphone.<\/li>\n<li>If you have an application that was accessing the public folder, don\u2019t forget to re-configure the app to <a href=\"http:\/\/wiki.itrezzo.com\/ECO-Steps-To-Create-A-CCL-Using-A-Mailbox-Folder.ashx\">read the mailbox instead of the public folder<\/a>. \u00a0For example the <a href=\"https:\/\/csop.cirasync.com\/solutions\/unified-contact-management-solution\/\">Unified Contact Manager<\/a> can use a mailbox data source instead of a public folder.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Opening a single Shared Mailbox Folder<\/h3>\n<p>If you only need to open a single folder and the folder is the default contacts, calendar or note folder, use this procedure:<\/p>\n<p>Use the File Menu in Outlook and choose Open. \u00a0At the bottom on the right, choose \u201cOther Users Folder\u201d.<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" title=\"Opening a single Shared Mailbox Folder\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/An-Alternative-Solution-to-Exchange-Public-Folders-1.png\" alt=\"Opening a single Shared Mailbox Folder\" \/><\/p>\n<p>When prompted, enter the name of the shared mailbox and choose the object type.<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" title=\"Outlook Shared Mailbox Folder\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/An-Alternative-Solution-to-Exchange-Public-Folders-2.png\" alt=\"Shared Mailbox Folder setup for Contacts\" \/><br \/>\nYou will now see the contacts folder of the shared mailbox.<\/p>\n<h2>Open the Shared Mailbox as a Secondary Mailbox<\/h2>\n<p>In this example, you will see how to modify an Outlook profile to open the shared mailbox as a secondary mailbox. This method will give user access to all folders in the mailbox. You can control specific access using granular permissions on each folder.<\/p>\n<p>First, you need to switch Outlook to a folder view. At the bottom of the Outlook navigation bar, click the folder icon.<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" title=\"Outlook Folder List Selector\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/An-Alternative-Solution-to-Exchange-Public-Folders-3.png\" alt=\"Use Outlook Folder List Selector to open shared mailbox\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Next, at the top of the navigation bar, right click on the node that shows your email address and choose Properties.<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" title=\"Choose Shared Mailbox as a Secondary Mailbox in Outlook\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/An-Alternative-Solution-to-Exchange-Public-Folders-4.png\" alt=\"Shared Mailbox as a Secondary Mailbox\" \/><\/p>\n<p>In the Properties dialog box, click the advanced button.<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" title=\"Advanced Profile Setup - adding Shared Mailbox as a Secondary Mailbox\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/An-Alternative-Solution-to-Exchange-Public-Folders-5.png\" alt=\"Advanced Profile Setup - adding Shared Mailbox as a Secondary Mailbox\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Now click the Add button and type the name of the shared mailbox when prompted.<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" title=\"Shared Mailbox as a Secondary Mailbox\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/An-Alternative-Solution-to-Exchange-Public-Folders-6.png\" alt=\"Shared Mailbox as a Secondary Mailbox\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Expand the node for the secondary mailbox and you be able to see all of the folders in the mailbox.<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" title=\"Create a shared contacts folder in a Shared Mailbox\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/An-Alternative-Solution-to-Exchange-Public-Folders-7.png\" alt=\"Create a shared contacts folder in a Shared Mailbox\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>Summary<\/h3>\n<p>While this strategy may not have the exact look and feel of public folders, it is workable. \u00a0Start by testing it out with a small workgroup and expand if it meets your needs.
