Viewing Public Folder Content Using Exchange System Manager

  • Article

 

When you troubleshoot public folder issues, you may have to verify that messages have been added to or deleted from a public folder as expected. You can use the Content tab to view what a user who is connecting to the folder using Outlook Web Access would see.

Important

To display the Content tab, Exchange System Manager must be able to log on to an IIS virtual directory for the public folder in question, the same way Outlook Web Access would. The virtual directories must be configured on the server running Exchange System Manager, and the World Wide Web Service must be running. To view the contents of a general-purpose public folder tree, make sure that you have created a virtual directory for that tree. For more information about IIS and the World Wide Web Service, see the Windows Help.

Note

Depending on your security settings, you may have to provide credentials to view the content of the folder.

Exchange View Only Administrators can access this information.
