Public Folder – Move to Different Location
2011-01-15
Exchange Server 2003 SP2, Windows Server 2003 SP2, Outlook 2007 SP1
Tested with one single PF only. Moving a PF tree should be the same.
You can move a PF from one location to another location using Outlook. The move is instantaneous since it just repoints the PF, unlike a move of a regular file system folder which would be a copy and then delete operation. The person doing the move must have the proper permissions to source and destination PFs.
E-mail settings and folder rules are all kept intact. Permissions (MAPI and directory) are kept intact as well and the moved PF will not inherit the new parent folder's permissions.
