If you select Yes, setup creates a public folder database on the Mailbox
server. You can add a public folder database later if it becomes a requirement after the initial installation.
Note that in certain continuous cluster configurations it is not possible to install a public folder database
on the clustered mailbox server. Chapter 12 explains what the limitations are in this scenario.
To install public folders later, create the database and then configure the Offline Address Book (OAB) for
public folder distribution. You set this option in the Exchange Management Console (EMC) under
Offline Address Book Properties in the Mailbox Organization Configuration section. Figure 5 - 1 shows
the dialog box in the EMC where this setting is configured.
You must restart the Microsoft Exchange Information Store service before Outlook 2003 and earlier
clients will be able to connect to the public folder.
Creating a Public Folder Database
Creating a public folder database with the Exchange Management Console (EMC) is possible, but
scripting it is much more fun! Use the cmdlet New-PublicFolderDatabase to create a new public
folder database:
New-PublicFolderDatabase -Name < String > -StorageGroup
< StorageGroupIdParameter > [-CopyEdbFilePath < EdbFilePath > ]
[-DomainController < Fqdn > ] [-EdbFilePath < EdbFilePath > ] [-HasLocalCopy
< $true | $false > ] [-TemplateInstance < PSObject > ]
For example, this cmdlet creates a new public folder database on the test server:
New-PublicFolderDatabase -Name ???Public folder Database??? -StorageGroup ???Second
Storage Group??? -EdbFilePath ???C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange\Mailbox\Second
Storage Group\Public folder
Database.
