Hey Everyone,I have another question, We use Microsoft Search Server and before i Migrated to Exchange 2010 server from 2007 Server I could access the public folders (to use for crawling) as http://srv2007/public/public_folder_name.This doesn't work anymore on Exchange 2010.Does anyone now how to access a public folder by the use of a direct url?Tx,Borrie

Could you access the public folder via OWA? Is there any related event in the application log, any related trace in the IIS log? If you try to access the public folder via URL directly, does the error page below will appear? 404 – File or directory not found The resource you are looking for might have been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailableJames Luo TechNet Subscriber Support (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/subscriptions/ms788697.aspx) If you have any feedback on our support, please contact tngfb@microsoft.com

Hey,Yes I get the 404 error, if i use this link: https://srv011/owa/?modurl=7# I get direct access to the public folder tree but this doesn't work in Search Server.I also have an error on pdf searching: Error HRESULT E_FAIL has been returned from a call to a COM componentDo you know anything about that?

anyone?

“The /public virtual directory will not connect to another Exchange 2007 Mailbox server because the Mailbox server does not support access to a /public virtual directory” ----------Refer to <Understanding Public Folders> Per my research, in exchange server 2007 and the later version, the direct URL access method isn’t supported anymore due to the architecture change James Luo TechNet Subscriber Support (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/subscriptions/ms788697.aspx) If you have any feedback on our support, please contact tngfb@microsoft.com

So, how can you let search server search public folders then? It worked for exchange 2007, not for 2010..
