SUMMARY
Multiple public folder trees are supported in Exchange 2000. Microsoft Exchange Server 5.5 and earlier only support one public folder tree.

In the process of creating a new public folder tree in Exchange 2000, you must right-click the Folders container, click New, and then click Public Folder Tree.

However, in the case of multiple administrative groups in an Exchange 2000 organization, only the First Administrative Group contains a Folders container by default. A Folders container within an administrative group is necessary before you can create a new public folders tree within that administrative group.



MORE INFORMATION
To create a Folders container in another administrative group:
 * 1) Right-click on the administrative group that you want to create a Folders container in.
 * 2) Click New, and then click Public Folders Container.
 * 3) The Folders container now appears.

NOTE: In Exchange 2000, only one Folders container is permitted for each administrative group. After you create a Folders container in an administrative group, if you right-click the administrative group, and then click New, you no longer see the option to create a new public folders container.
