RE: Restore Public Folders to an alternate server
Ok, I have figured it out if anyone is interested. There are two ways of making it work. After you restore PUB1.EDB and PUB1.STM to an alternate server and mount the PF store, al the public folders will show up in Exchange System Manager. But you won't see them in Outlook yet. To make the visible in Outlook, do: A. Create a new public top-level public folder on the alternate Exchange server. Then move one of the restored public folders into the new folder. Then right-click on the new folder and select All Tasks/Propagate Settings/Folder Rights. After it rips through, move the restored public folder back into the original location. OR B. Create a new public top-level public folder on the alternate Exchange server. Then COPY one of the restored public folders into the new folder. Delete the original restored public folder and move its copy from the new top level folder back to the original location.

RE: Restore Public Folders to an alternate server
This was my original plan (similar to single mailbox restore): 1. Restore PF store from tape to alternate server 2. Mount the restored store 3. Connect with Outlook to the alternate server and export the PFs to PST 4. Import PST into the production server However the alternate Exchange server has its own active directory that does not have the same Microsoft Exchange System Objects container as the producion system. The PFs "live" in that container. So the alternative AD does not have these PFs listed and they do not show up in Outlook. -Original Message- From: Harmon, Michelle M.
