    Hi, 

    Our Environment has Exchange 2007/2013 servers in Hybrid with users hosted in all these servers(Ex207/Ex2013/O365).

    Public folder databases are hosted only in 2007 servers and don't want to move this to 2013.

    Currently we have 20% of the users moved to Exchange 2013 and 10% of users to O365 online, remaining users are scheduled to move in phased manner, however currently they are on hold due to ongoing issues with migrated users.

    Problem that we are experiencing:

    1. Exchange 2013 users are not able to public folders in OWA, but works fine in Outlook. please someone help to fix it? (error screen shot attached)

    2. Exchange 2007 users have no issues, PF accessble via OWA as well as Outlook.

    3. Exchange online (O365) users are unable to access PFs, what are the steps involved to get this corrected/implemented? I feel like the below link describe this issue however, not quite confident on this.

    Thank you Ed, I got confused after seeing a conflict with proxy mailbox names used in Step1 and Step2 of this article, because the article says "PFMailbox1" in Step1 and "ProxyMailbox1" in Step2. Now I understand that both "PFMailbox1" and "ProxyMailbox" are the same?

    Hi Ed,

    Thanks for your response, but I have a doubt.
    Set-OrganizationConfig -PublicFoldersEnabled Remote -RemotePublicFolderMailboxes ProxyMailbox1,ProxyMailbox2,ProxyMailbox3
    "ProxyMailbox1,ProxyMailbox2,ProxyMailbox3" what are these mailbox's, in this article its not explained about these mailbox's?
    but what I assume is these must be the public folder mailbox's created in Exchange 2013, am I right or wrong?

    That would be "mailboxes" since apostrophes are not used for plurals.

    Those are used for Exchange 2013 servers to gain access to public folders.  Those mailboxes do not need any special rights.  The document very clearly states that you create one proxy mailbox on each Exchange 2007 public folder server.

    Good catch.  They should be the same names.  I'll comment on that in the article feedback.  You're welcome to do that too.
