Hi, I am trying to mail-enable one of my public folders and i get the message. "The mail proxy for this folder can not be found" System: Running Single Exchange 2003 Box under native mode I upgraded from 2000 to 2003 about 9 months ago Recently I changed the mode from mixed to native Steps: 1. Created a public folder via ESM on the exchange server. Then I tried to mail-enable the public folder and got that nasty message. 2. Opened Active Directory users and Computers(dsa.msc) I located the Exchange System Objects folder which was buried in the LostandFound Container. I tried to locate the new folder that i created but it was not listed. 3. I checked the eventviewer and I get a 9543 Error which is "Unable to create Public Folder proxy object for folder "Gifts" in the Active Directory. " 4. I tried following the Microsoft KB article on this issue which is at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/328740. I opened up the Information Store Viewer and the PRF_PF_Proxy was not set with a GUID. 5. Another article suggested setting the permission on the public folder via dsa.msc however the folder doesnt even appear there.
Any Ideas?

Here is an article I used when I was having issues. http://www.msexchange.org/tutorials/Public-Folder-Basics-Part2.html "Paul" wrote: > Hi, > > I am trying to mail-enable one of my public folders and i get the message. > "The mail proxy for this folder can not be found" > > System: > > Running Single Exchange 2003 Box under native mode > > I upgraded from 2000 to 2003 about 9 months ago > > Recently I changed the mode from mixed to native > > > Steps: > 1.

Several articles indicate that running /forestprep and /domainprep again will fix the problem Here's one: http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.exchange.admin/browse_thread/thread/746e11a630def59a/83c0c5b4704b6aa2?lnk=st&q=The+mail+proxy+for+this+folder+cannot+be+found&rnum=3#83c0c5b4704b6aa2 "Paul" wrote in message news:6C35586A-D5D1-41E4-8068-491312DA98CA@microsoft.com... >I am not sure how that article addresses any of my problems. > > "MPaquette" wrote: > >> Here is an article I used when I was having issues. >> >> http://www.msexchange.org/tutorials/Public-Folder-Basics-Part2.html >> >> >> "Paul" wrote: >> >> > Hi, >> > >> > I am trying to mail-enable one of my public folders and i get the >> > message. >> > "The mail proxy for this folder can not be found" >> > >> > System: >> > >> > Running Single Exchange 2003 Box under native mode >> > >> > I upgraded from 2000 to 2003 about 9 months ago >> > >> > Recently I changed the mode from mixed to native >> > >> > >> > Steps: >> > 1.
