Hi Jean-Francois Why don't take a look at Sharepoint Portal Server as solution to this requirement??
Regards Peter Johnson -----Original Message----- From: Jean-Francois Bourdeau [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 18 January 2002 04:26 To: Exchange Discussions Subject: Exchange 2000 as a file server (IXFS, Web Folder, http://server/public/files) does anyone use EX 2k as a file server to have one central location for accessing files on the road or from the office ? I tried to create a network shortcut in w2k Pro and XP Pro, connecting to http://server/public/files It was prompting very often for authentification. I could drag files to that folder but was having error when saving file from Word or Excel... But could drag those .doc or .xls file to the folder manually >From what I understand, I heard that sharing a Folder from the M drive could be dangerous (corruption of the exchange database) We must create webFolder if we want to hare ordinary folder within our w2k server. but for exchange public Folder I was expecting that it would work smoothly... Any comment is appreciated...
