William Thanks for your help.
I will look at the Q articles. Can I just confirm with you. Are we saying that we do not need a Public folder for each mailbox server for 2000 and if I replicate the system folder to another public folder the free/busy will still work for the users on the mailbox server that I have deleted the public folder database? Thanks again.

Regards -----Original Message----- From: William Lefkovics [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 24 June 2002 10:43 To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Freebusy with Exchange 2000 Free/Busy is a special, hidden public folder. I think you'd need to rehome it to your dedicated server prior to deleting the public folder store on the mailbox server.

Exchange 2000 SP2 NT 2000 SP2 Scenario: Create a mailbox server with two separate mailbox databases in the same storage group (deleted the public folder database that gets installed by default). Create a separate dedicated Public folder server and point the users to use the dedicated public folder server. Test and Result: When I tested the free/busy between the two databases on the mailbox server it did not work. I had to re-create a public folder database on the mailbox server in order to get the free/busy working. From this I am assuming that each server must have a public folder database for the free/busy to work. Would I be correct to assume that it needs the "special folder" for free/busy to work? Questions: Can any one point me to any good information on free/busy for Exchange 2000 and how it all works (TechNet preferably)? Would I be correct to say that every Exchange 2000 server must have a public folder database on each mailbox server to get the free/busy to work? Some of you might be asking what's the big deal in having a public folder database server on a mailbox server doing very little. I am trying to improve performance and administration overhead? Constructive comments would be much appreciated.
