When running the 07 Readiness Wizard in Exchange Best Practices Analyzer, it
says that "non-MAPI public folder trees are present in the Exchange
organization. These custom application trees are not supported in Exchange
Server 2007"
I assume that it's talking about custom forms/databases, right?
I'm rather fond of my forms, and I don't want to give them up. MS suggests
two ways to keep them. I'm not too keen on either of them, so I came up
with a couple of other ideas, which are also problematical. I'd appreciate
any feedback or alternatives you might have on these four options. (The
first two are from MS)
1 -- Move the non-Mapi folder trees to a Sharepoint Portal. -- I'm neither
willing nor able to run Sharepoint in the near future, if ever. And, I have
no idea whether the forms will work in there.
2 -- Maintain the data on Exchange 03 server -- would prevent me from
upgrading to a pure 07 mode, and requires running two servers instead of one
3 -- Running Exch 03 on a one-machine separate forest, running only PFs. A
modification of No.2, this would keep the production environment as pure 07,
but I can see all kinds of complications with trusts, directory sync, access
permissions, etc.
4 -- Translate the databases and forms to Access -- this is probably the
most practical and doable for me. Disadvantages: a lot of time and work;
no seamless accessibility from Outlook
