Original KB number: 3109076
Summary
This article discusses how to create organizational forms in Exchange Online and in Exchange Server 2013 and later versions. After you perform this procedure, users can use Microsoft Outlook to view and work in the organizational forms library.
More information
Do one of the following, as appropriate for your situation:
- Connect to Exchange Online by using remote PowerShell. For more information, see Connect to Exchange Online PowerShell.
- In Exchange Server, open the Exchange Management Shell.
Create a new public folder mailbox that's named PFHierarchy. To do this, run the following command:
New-Mailbox -PublicFolder -Name PFHierarchy
Create a new public folder in the
NON_IPM_SUBTREE
directory that's named Organizational Forms Library. To do this, run the following command:New-PublicFolder -Path "\NON_IPM_SUBTREE\EFORMS REGISTRY" -Name "Organizational Forms Library"
Set the locale ID on the folder that you created. To do this, run the following command:
Set-PublicFolder "\NON_IPM_SUBTREE\EFORMS REGISTRY\Organizational Forms Library" -EformsLocaleID EN-US
To determine the correct locale ID to use, see languagecode Field.
Set read permissions for each regular user. To do this, run the following command:
Add-PublicFolderClientPermission -identity "\NON_IPM_SUBTREE\EFORMS REGISTRY\Organizational Forms Library" -user User@domain.com -AccessRights ReadItems
Set write permissions for each admin who will be saving the organizational forms to public folders. To do this, run the following command:
Add-PublicFolderClientPermission -identity "\NON_IPM_SUBTREE\EFORMS REGISTRY\Organizational Forms Library" -user Admin@domain.com -AccessRights CreateItems
Add a user as the owner of the Organizational Forms Library folder if they have to publish or create forms in the library. To do this, run the following command:
Add-PublicFolderClientPermission "\NON_IPM_SUBTREE\EFORMS REGISTRY\Organizational forms library" -User <User@domain.com> -AccessRights Owner
Note
If you don't add the user as an owner, the Organizational Forms Library may not appear in Outlook.
Wait some time for replication to occur.
