Dear User Group

Here is another problem for you. Exchange 2000 SP2 NT 2000 SP2

Scenario:

Create a mailbox server with two separate mailbox databases in the same storage group 
(deleted the public folder database that gets installed by default).
Create a separate dedicated Public folder server and point the users to use the 
dedicated public folder server.

Test and Result:

When I tested the free/busy between the two databases on the mailbox server it did not 
work. I had to re-create a public folder database on the mailbox server in order to 
get the free/busy working. From this I am assuming that each server must have a public 
folder database for the free/busy to work. Would I be correct to assume that it needs 
the "special folder" for free/busy to work?

Questions:

Can any one point me to any good information on free/busy for Exchange 2000 and how it 
all works (TechNet preferably)?

Would I be correct to say that every Exchange 2000 server must have a public folder 
database on each mailbox server to get the free/busy to work?


Some of you might be asking what's the big deal in having a public folder database 
server on a mailbox server doing very little. I am trying to improve performance and 
administration overhead?

Constructive comments would be much appreciated.
