Public folder is used as shared directory through whcih you can access your resources i.e all members. like newsgroup
best example is...
user 1 and user 2 have their mailboxes and they are working for one selling department where they need to keep a track of their sales but if they keep it in their mailbox each one have to explain it and update each and every one. so instead of that they can have come resource folder which will be shared among them what ever user1 will update in shared directory it will be seen by user2 through shared directory,.

For good understanding see the below url

Hi Ismail,

Thank for your information.When i logon to exhange server and click on the public folder it gives the following error.

The SSL certificate server name is incorrect
id no c103b404
exchange system manager.

Some days back I installed SSL certificate from my localy CA in order to secure OWA.it is working fine.I did it in IIS.

The name i give during certificate configuration was the name of my domain i register in ISP(mail.mycompany.com) not my local domain name(mylocaldomain.com)

is this causing the issue or what?

r u using https://owa or http://owa for owa accessing?
the error you are getting is just because of 128 bit encrption under IIS is checked.. pls let me know if you are using http ryt now then you can remove it.

An SSL certificate is incorrectly published to the Exadmin virtual root in Internet Information Services (IIS).

You receive an SSL Certificate error message when you view public folders in Exchange System Manager

I also get this error about the SSL Certificate server name.  I just created a company calendar and then went to the System Manager on my Exchange Server (2003 sp2) to give the folder permissions to all my users.  As soon as I right click on that folder, this same error displays on the screen.

When you asked about http ryt, where is this setting found and what does ryt mean?

Thanks in advance for any help.

I followed the instructions in the link:  http://support.microsoft.com/kb/324345
In unchecking the encryption, how do I know I did not make my Exchange server vulnerable?

hi,
If you check 128 bit again : issue is getting resolved. if yes try out with only public virtual directory and let me know the output.
I feel there is a problem with this website’s security certificate
