3 Lesson: Managing Public Folder Data What Are Public Folders? Why Use Public Folders? What Are Public Folder Permissions? How to Create a Custom MMC Types of Public Folder Trees How to Create General-Purpose Public Folder Trees How to Control the Creation of Top-Level Public Folders How to Create and Configure Public Folders by Using Exchange System Manager How to Configure Permissions to Access Public Folders

4 What Are Public Folders? Active Directory Products Personnel Forms Handbook Public Folder Store (London) Replication Status Public Folders Public Folder Instances Logons Full-Text Indexing New Tree Public Folders Folders Internet Newsgroups HR Business Handbook Personnel Forms Marketing Products Top-level folder Top-level folder Parent folder Child folder Public folder tree

5 Why Use Public Folders? Benefits of using public folders: Send e-mail messages instead of posting to public folders Post messages directly into public folders Store public folders in more than one tree Access public folders from the Web Perform full-text index searches on public folder content Gain access to any public folder in the Exchange organization Send e-mail messages instead of posting to public folders Post messages directly into public folders Store public folders in more than one tree Access public folders from the Web Perform full-text index searches on public folder content Gain access to any public folder in the Exchange organization Internal User All Public Folders Internet Newsgroups Sales North America Europe External User NNTP HTTP NNTP HTTP MAPI Outlook

6 What Are Public Folder Permissions? Permissions Description Client Permissions Control which users have access to the folders Directory Rights Control which users can manipulate a mail-enabled public folder object in Active Directory Administrative Rights Control the assignment of specific administrative permissions to specific administrators. Sales Europe North America Administrator Security Group

7 How to Create a Custom MMC To create a custom MMC: Open a new MMC and add the Exchange System snap-in Locate the Folders container and open it in a new console window Save the new MMC console Open a new MMC and add the Exchange System snap-in Locate the Folders container and open it in a new console window Save the new MMC console 1 1 2 2 3 3 Use Exchange System Manager to: View public folder trees and folders contained in each tree Create and configure public folders Mail-enable a public folder Configure security settings for a public folder Search for a public folder View the status of a public folder View replication information about a public folder View and modify public folder contents View public folder trees and folders contained in each tree Create and configure public folders Mail-enable a public folder Configure security settings for a public folder Search for a public folder View the status of a public folder View replication information about a public folder View and modify public folder contents Practice

8 Types of Public Folder Trees Tree type Access method Default public folder tree MAPI clients (Outlook) NNTP clients (Outlook Express) HTTP clients (Internet Explorer) General-purpose public folder trees NNTP clients (Outlook Express) HTTP clients (Internet Explorer) The default tree is replicated to all public folder servers by default A general-purpose tree is not replicated until additional public folder stores are created and associated with it The default tree is replicated to all public folder servers by default A general-purpose tree is not replicated until additional public folder stores are created and associated with it

9 How to Create General-Purpose Public Folder Trees To create a general-purpose public folder tree: Use Exchange System Manager to locate the Folders container that will contain the new general-purpose public folder tree Use the Folders container’s context menu to create a new public folder tree Name the new public folder tree Create and mount a new public folder store on each server to which you want to replicate the folders Associate the new tree with each of those new stores Use Exchange System Manager to locate the Folders container that will contain the new general-purpose public folder tree Use the Folders container’s context menu to create a new public folder tree Name the new public folder tree Create and mount a new public folder store on each server to which you want to replicate the folders Associate the new tree with each of those new stores 1 1 2 2 3 3 4 4 5 5 Practice

10 How to Control the Creation of Top-Level Public Folders To grant permissions to create a top-level folder: Locate the Organization object or the administrative group that contains your public folder tree Add appropriate accounts, and then clear or select the Allow check box for Create top-level public folder permission Locate the Organization object or the administrative group that contains your public folder tree Add appropriate accounts, and then clear or select the Allow check box for Create top-level public folder permission 1 1 2 2 Reasons for controlling top-level folder creation: To ensure that the folder structure is easy to browse To ensure that the folder structure is manageable To reduce network traffic and prevent network overload To ensure that the folder structure is easy to browse To ensure that the folder structure is manageable To reduce network traffic and prevent network overload Practice

11 How to Create and Configure Public Folders by Using Exchange System Manager User or Administrator Sales HR Administrator Use Exchange System Manager or Outlook to create public folders Use Exchange System Manager to configure additional public folder settings Use Exchange System Manager or Outlook to create public folders Use Exchange System Manager to configure additional public folder settings To apply any new configuration settings to existing child folders, you must manually propagate the settings Practice Exchange System Manager Exchange System Manager Outlook

12 How to Configure Permissions to Access Public Folders To configure permissions by using Exchange System Manager: In Exchange System Manager, locate the public folder you want to modify Use the folder’s Properties dialog box to access Client Permissions Add the users and assign the appropriate permissions In Exchange System Manager, locate the public folder you want to modify Use the folder’s Properties dialog box to access Client Permissions Add the users and assign the appropriate permissions 1 1 2 2 3 3 User Default folder permission Security group A permission Security group B permission User account permission Cumulative permission EditorNot specified Owner AuthorReviewerNot specified Author Reviewer AuthorNot specifiedReviewer Editor Reviewer Practice

13 Lesson: Managing Network Access to Public Folders What Is Public Folder Replication? Why Replicate Public Folders? How Public Folder Replication Works How Do Clients Connect to Public Folders? How to Manage Public Folder Replication What Is Full-Text Indexing? How to Manage Full-Text Indexing Where Should Full-Text Indexing Files Be Stored?

18 How to Manage Public Folder Replication To create a public folder replica: In Exchange System Manager, expand the appropriate storage group Locate the folder object that you want to replicate Use the folder object’s Properties dialog box to enable and configure replication In Exchange System Manager, expand the appropriate storage group Locate the folder object that you want to replicate Use the folder object’s Properties dialog box to enable and configure replication 1 1 2 2 3 3 Use the Folder Properties Replication tab to schedule replication for an individual folder Use the Folder tree’s Status container to monitor folder replication for an individual folder Use the Public Folder Stores Replication Status container to monitor replication of all of the folders in the store Practice

19 What Is Full-Text Indexing? Benefits Individual store configuration Faster searching Searching of attachments Search results include related words Individual store configuration Faster searching Searching of attachments Search results include related words Considerations Time and CPU usage for building the index can be significant Index occupies a significant amount of disk space Incomplete search results are possible while index is being populated Time and CPU usage for building the index can be significant Index occupies a significant amount of disk space Incomplete search results are possible while index is being populated Public Folder Store Index

20 How to Manage Full-Text Indexing To create an index: In Exchange System Manager, locate the store that you want to index Use the context menu for the store to choose Create Full-Text Index Type the location of the index catalog Use the context menu of the store to start the population In Exchange System Manager, locate the store that you want to index Use the context menu for the store to choose Create Full-Text Index Type the location of the index catalog Use the context menu of the store to start the population 1 1 2 2 3 3 To configure properties on an index, use the Full-Text Indexing tab in the Properties dialog box To populate the index, use the context menu for the store to configure the appropriate options Practice 4 4

21 Where Should Full-Text Indexing Files Be Stored?
