Managing Public Folder Databases

Applies to: Exchange Server 2007 SP2, Exchange Server 2007 SP1, Exchange Server 2007 Topic Last Modified: 2008-01-29

This topic lists the management tasks you can perform for public folder databases, including links to topics that will help you complete the tasks.

Cluster continuous replication (CCR), local continuous replication (LCR), standby continuous replication (SCR), and public folder replication are different forms of replication built into Exchange. Due to interoperability limitations between continuous replication and public folder replication, if more than one Mailbox server in the Exchange organization has a public folder database, public folder replication is enabled and public folder databases should not be hosted in CCR, LCR, or SCR environments.
