What is IPM, Site Folder, Site Folder Server in Exchange server?Jayasimha Puppala

Hi Per my known, IPM means Interpersonal Message. By default, the Site Folder Server is the first server that is installed in the administrative group.The public folder store on this server is the default location of the free/busy folders and offline address book folders for the administrative group. If you remove or decommission the Stie Flolder Server without replicating these folders to another server and designating that server as the offline address book server, Outlook users will see problems with the offline address book and with free/busy data.

Thanks a lot for your answer. Jayasimha Puppala

Hi Gavin, Administrative group, do you mean first administrative group created? When we create additional administrative groups, will the first server added to this administrative group be designated as site folder server? Regards JayasimhaJayasimha Puppala

Hi Jayasimha, Sure you are right, the siteFolderServer attribute represents the Distinguished Name (DN) of the Public Folder store that is responsible for hosting the site folders (normally the first server in the site or administrative group). Regards! gavin
