Summary: Instructions for enabling Exchange Online users to access on-premises public folders in your Exchange Server environment.

In a hybrid deployment, your users can be in Exchange Online, on-premises, or both, and your public folders are either in Exchange Online or on-premises. Sometimes your online users may need to access public folders in your Exchange Server on-premises environment. Similarly, Exchange Server users may need to access public folders in Office 365 or Exchange Online.

The first time that you use Office, a folder named Microsoft User Data is created in the Documents folder provided by the Mac OS. The Microsoft User Data folder contains an Office 2011 Identities folder that stores the Office database for each identity in its own folder. You can move the folder for an identity, or the whole Microsoft User Data. 2017-1-25  Outlook stores your data in an Identity, and the Mac OS creates Users. The Users folder resides at the root level of the startup disk and contains the home folders for all user accounts on the computer. If you move the Microsoft User Data folder (also known as the MUD folder) in your Documents folder, Outlook will create a new blank Identity. 2020-3-19  Office 2016 MAC Where is the (new) Microsoft User Data folder Hi, previously you wonderfully could always include the Microsoft User Data folder to your backup and if there was some trouble, the defective DB could be simple be replaced by the 'old' one.

In Outlook, click Help Check For Updates. If an update is found, download and install it. Restart Outlook. If the problem continues, click Help Contact Support. In Microsoft Outlook 2016 for Mac or Office for Mac 2011, you receive a 'No Results' message when you try to search for an email message or apply a filter to a folder, and task items are not displayed in the Tasks folder.

Note

If you have Exchange 2010 public folders, see Configure legacy on-premises public folders for a hybrid deployment.

This article describes how to enable your Exchange Online/Office 365 users to access public folders in Exchange Server. To enable on-premises Exchange Server users to access public folders in Exchange Online, see Configure Exchange Online public folders for a hybrid deployment.

An Exchange Online/Office 365 user must be represented by a MailUser object in the Exchange on-premises environment in order to access Exchange Server public folders. This MailUser object must also be local to the target Exchange Server public folder hierarchy. If you have Office 365 users who aren't currently represented on-premises by MailUser objects, refer to Microsoft Knowledge Base article 3106618 'Exchange Online users can't access legacy on-premises public folders' to create matching on-premises entities.

What do you need to know before you begin?

  1. These instructions assume that you have used the Hybrid Configuration Wizard to configure and synchronize your on-premises and Exchange Online environments and that the DNS records used for most users' AutoDiscover references an on-premises end-point. For more information, see Hybrid Configuration Wizard.

  2. Implementing public folder coexistence for a hybrid deployment of Exchange with Office 365 may require you to fix conflicts during the import procedure. Conflicts can happen due to non-routable email address assigned to mail enabled public folders, conflicts with other users and groups in Office 365, and other attributes.

  3. In order to access public folders cross-premises, users must upgrade their Outlook clients to the November 2012 Outlook public update or later.

    • To download the November 2012 Outlook update for Outlook 2010, see Update for Microsoft Outlook 2010 (KB2687623) 32-Bit Edition.

    • To download the November 2012 Outlook Update for Outlook 2007, see Update for Microsoft Office Outlook 2007 (KB2687404).

  4. Outlook 2011 for Mac and Outlook for Mac for Office 365 are not supported for cross-premises public folders. Users must be in the same location as the public folders to access them with Outlook 2011 for Mac or Outlook for Mac for Office 365. In addition, users whose mailboxes are in Exchange Online won't be able to access on-premises public folders using Outlook on the web (formerly known as Outlook Web App).

    Note

    Outlook 2016 for Mac is supported for cross-premises public folders. If clients in your organization use Outlook 2016 for Mac, make sure they have installed the April 2016 update. Otherwise, those users will not be able to access public folders in a hybrid topology. For more information, see Accessing public folders with Outlook 2016 for Mac.

  5. You must synchronize the Active Directory container where your public folder mailboxes are stored (such as the Users container) with the AAD Connect tool. Otherwise your public folder mailbox objects won't be synchronized with Exchange Online.

Step 1: Download the scripts

  1. Download the following files from Mail-enabled Public Folders - directory sync script:

    • Sync-MailPublicFolders.ps1

    • SyncMailPublicFolders.strings.psd1

  2. Save the files to the local computer on which you'll be running PowerShell. For example, C:PFScripts.

Step 2: Configure directory synchronization

The Directory Synchronization service doesn't synchronize mail-enabled public folders. Running the following script will synchronize the mail-enabled public folders across premises and Office 365. Special permissions assigned to mail-enabled public folders will need to be recreated in the cloud since cross-premise permission are not supported in Hybrid Deployment scenarios. For more information, see Exchange Server Hybrid Deployment.

Synchronized mail-enabled public folders will appear as mail contact objects for mail flow purposes and will not be viewable in the Exchange admin center. See the Get-MailPublicFolder command. To recreate the SendAs permissions in the cloud, use the Add-RecipientPermission command.

On Exchange Server, run the following command to synchronize mail-enabled public folders from your local on-premises Active Directory to O365.

Where Credential is your Office 365 username and password, and CsvSummaryFile is the path to where you would like to log synchronization operations and errors, in .csv format.

Note

Before running the script, we recommend that you first simulate the actions that the script would take in your environment by running it as described above with the -WhatIf parameter. > We also recommend that you run this script daily to synchronize your mail-enabled public folders.

Step 3: Configure Exchange Online users to access Exchange Server on-premises public folders

The final step in this procedure is to configure the Exchange online organization and to allow access to the Exchange Server public folders.

Enable the exchange online organization to access the on-premises public folders. You will point to all of you on-premises public folder mailboxes.

Note

How

You must wait until ActiveDirectory synchronization has completed to see the changes. This process can take up to 3 hours to complete. If you don't want to wait for the recurring synchronizations that occur every three hours, you can force directory synchronization at any time. For detailed steps to do force directory synchronization, see Azure AD Connect sync: Scheduler.

How do I know this worked?

Log on to Outlook for a user who is in Exchange Online and perform the following public folder tests:

  • View the hierarchy.

  • Check permissions

  • Create and delete public folders.

  • Post content to and delete content from a public folder.
