Symptoms

When you are using the Microsoft Exchange Server Administrator program in Raw mode, and you make a change to the Hide from Address Book attribute on a public folder, the change does not seem to be applied. For example, if you change the property of the Hide from Address Book attribute from 1 to 0 in Raw mode, the public folder is not hidden from the address book; however, when you use the Administrator program in Normal mode to view the properties of the public folder, the Hide from Address Book check box is still selected.

Cause

This issue can occur because when the Administrator program is running in Raw mode, only directory service objects are updated; the Administrator program does not have an open session to the information store when it is running in Raw mode. When the Administrator program opens the regular public folder properties (and not the raw properties), it reads the information store.

Workaround

To work around this issue, start the Administrator program in Normal mode, open the public folder properties, and then click to clear the Hide from Address Book check box.

More information

This behavior is by design.
