XADM: Cannot Mail-Disable a Public Folder in Mixed Mode (273263)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Exchange 2000 Server
This article was previously published under Q273263

SYMPTOMS

When an Exchange 2000 Server organization is running in mixed mode, you may not be able to mail-disable a public folder that is located in the Messaging Application Programming Interface (MAPI) public folder tree.

WORKAROUND

To work around this problem and mail-disable a public folder that is located in the MAPI public folder tree, you need to switch your Exchange 2000 organization to native mode. Be aware of the implications of changing modes; the change to native mode cannot be reversed.
