XADM: How to Rename a Public Folder (274183)

MORE INFORMATION

To change the name of a public folder, use either of the following methods:

• Start the Microsoft Exchange Server Administrator program, open the properties of the public folder that you want to change, click the General tab, and then modify the name. The name that is displayed on the General tab is the display name.
  
  -or-
• If you have ownership rights to the folder, log on to the client computer, right-click the public folder that you want to rename, and then click Rename.

When you use the Administrator program, the public folder's directory name is displayed on the Advanced tab of the public folder properties. You cannot change the directory name of a public folder. If you want to change a public folder's directory name, download the public folder to a .pst file, republish the public folder under a new name, and then delete the old public folder. However, it may not be necessary to change the directory name because the directory name is only displayed on the Advanced tab in the public folder properties in the Administrator program.
