SYMPTOMS
When you create a new folder in Exchange 2000 Server or when you migrate folders from Exchange Server 5.5 to Exchange 2000 Server, you may find that the folderPathname attribute is blank.



CAUSE
This behavior occurs because the folderPathname property is not present in the Active Directory directory service. Exchange 2000 Server does not populate Active Directory with the folderPathname attribute.

This attribute is present in the Exchange Server 5.5 directory database.



RESOLUTION
Use MAPI to retrieve the folderPathname property information.
