SYMPTOMS
In a mixed Microsoft Exchange Server 5.5 and Exchange 2000 organization, you may not be able to view the public folder hierarchy on an Exchange 2000 server.



CAUSE
This issue can occur if the proxyaddresses attribute for the public folder information store is missing because the Recipient Update Service has not stamped the mail attributes on the public information store’s Active Directory objects.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this issue:
 * 1) Start Exchange System Manager, and then click to expand the Recipients container.
 * 2) Click Recipient Update Services.
 * 3) In the right pane, click the Recipient Update Services (Enterprise Configuration).
 * 4) Right-click the Recipient Update Services (Enterprise Configuration), and then click Rebuild on the shortcut menu. This stamps the proxyaddresses attribute on the public folder information store.



WORKAROUND
To work around this issue, configure the Exchange 2000 mailbox store to point to an Exchange Server 5.5 computer as the default public folder information store.

NOTE: If you point the Exchange 2000 mailbox store to an Exchange Server public folder store, you may break Outlook Web Access (OWA) access for mailboxes on that Exchange 2000 mailbox store. So this is only a temporary workaround.



MORE INFORMATION
Public folder replication is mail based. Replication messages are e-mail messages that are sent between the public information stores. For replication to work, there must be a valid e-mail path between the information stores.
