OWA viewing Public Folders in Exchange 2007 RTM
Is this possible to do in the meantime while planning an upgrade to SP1? I'm running a hosted Exchange environment with numerous permission changes that will require extensive planning before I can perform any type of upgrade.So far I tried this: http://ittechnobabble.wordpress.com/2007/09/09/owa-2007-and-public-folders/I followed the directions, it opens a new IE window, but I'm not seeing the public folders that were setup via Outlook 2007. The only changes I've made was changing the Public virtual directory authentication to "Use forms-based authentication: UPN" via EMC. With UPN authentication I am not being prompted for a username/password when clicking the public folders link, which I assume is because my OWA authentication is set to UPN as well (client preference).Am I missing a step or is this completely unreliable until I install SP1?EDIT: A client is testing this method out and gets a HTTP501/505 display error.

Honestly, I think you are going to spin your wheels long enough trying to get this to work that you should go ahead and get upgraded to E2K7 SP1. Is there a large barrier that is keeping you from updating to SP1?

Is there a large barrier that is keeping you from updating to SP1? Yeah. I followed these two tutorials on creating my hosted environment on RTM: http://www.kortekservices.com/lyle/ - by Lyle Epstein http://www.msexchange.org/articles_tutorials/exchange-server-2007/migration-deployment/shared-hosting-exchange-2007-part1.html - by Rui Silva Both are fantastic guides, but I believe last time I attempted to install SP1 the install wizard warned that permissions needed to be reset to the defaults. I need to take a weekend to reset permissions, bring everything down and reapply the permissions via ADSIedit. Then there is the worry that nothing will work as expected when I bring it back up and madness could roll into the work week. I need to take extra precautions.
