RE: Exchange 2000 as a file server (IXFS, Web Folder,http://serv er/public/files)
That's a good point, and perhaps a good solution. There are others as
well. Exchange is a poor document management system, but at least one
(http://www.80-20.com comes to mind) has attempted to build a document
management system on top of Exchange.

Subject: Exchange 2000 as a file server (IXFS, Web Folder,

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

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...

Instead of using ExIFS use HTTP. No limitations, no problems! Just
connect the public folder as a Webfolder using
http://servername/public/foldername.

I know you're right.
But my customer already have an exchange 2000 server, and from what I know I
