On the
other hand, there is good news for administrators with Exchange Server 2007 ??™ s release. Exchange
Server 2007 removed the hard requirement for new installations to have public folders. Of course,
this depends on fully deploying the new Office Outlook 2007 client. As long as there are prior
Outlook client versions, public folders are required for system folders (that is, calendar free/busy,
offline address book); I will show a method of removing public folders once all clients are
upgraded.
Unlike all previous versions of Exchange, prior to Service Pack 1 there was no public folder
management in the GUI, so all public folder management must be done through PowerShell.
It is also possible to use a free third - party utility called PFDavAdmin for graphical
administration.

Database Administration
The beginning is always a good place to start, and with public folders, that would be creating the data
store. Although database administration is similar to working with mailbox databases, public folders
have their own set of cmdlets. This section explores how to use the following cmdlets:
??‘ Get-PublicFolderDatabase
??‘ New-PublicFolderDatabase
??‘ Remove-PublicFolderDatabase
??‘ Set-PublicFolderDatabase
Installing Public Folders
In a new installation of Exchange 2007, the setup routine asks whether there are any client computers
running Outlook 2003 or earlier.
