The public folder store may take several minutes to mount on an Exchange 2007 server


View products that this article applies to.

Symptoms

You have a Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 environment that has many public folder stores spread out across slow wide area network (WAN) links. In this situation, the public folder store on an Exchange 2007 server may take several minutes to mount.

Cause

This problem occurs because Exchange 2007 tries to contact every server that holds public folder stores when a public folder store is mounted. This behavior generates a remote procedure call (RPC) to the servers across the WAN links. The RPC can take several seconds for each server. Therefore, a long delay occurs before the public folder store mounts.
