So I’ve solved one of my issues, the trees created were general purpose trees so I recreated the folder hierarchies using ADSI edit and set them to be MAPI trees by changing the msExchPFTreeType value to 1. Also I checked the properties of the Mailbox and found the Default public folder to be the wrong value. I am now at the stage where the only sync issues I have whilst in sync mode are regarding the offline address book, as far as i’m aware an offline address book hasn’t been created any ideas how i go about this? Still having issues when trying to resend changes between the folder heirarchies.

Thanks

can we look at iis logs while connecting to the public folder
also note
If the Mapi Top Level Hierarchy (TLH) object is renamed, you will run into this
problem. When you first attempt to connect to a public store with PFDAVADMIN, it attempts to connect to the MAPI TLH object. The default name is hardcoded within PFDAVADMIN so
if it’s renamed, you will run into this problem.

Thanks for the quick response. I have downloaded the PFDAVAdmin tool and ran it on the exchange server however got the following error.

“An error occurred while trying to establish a connection to the Exchange server.Be sure that port 443 (for SSL) or port 80 (for non-SSL) can be reached. If you are connecting to public folders, be sure that the public store is mounted. If you are connecting to mailboxes and the progress bar shows a particular mailbox, be sure that user has at least one email address.

Exception: Failed to connect using secure URL https://(My Server Name)/ExAdmin/Admin/(MY Domain)/public%20folders/ with error: The remote server returned an error: (503) Server Unavailable.. Failed to connect using unsecure URL
http://(MY Server Name)/ExAdmin/Admin/(MY Doman)/public%20folders/ with error: The remote server returned an error: (503) Server Unavailable..”

Note. As before have taken out server name and domain name.

Reading up on this error suggestions have pointed to having http forwarding on and IIS issues with the virtual machine, not really sure with any of these any advice?

Thanks
