Custom managed folders not appearing

[ShackDaddy]

I've set up a test server for one project and have created several custom managed folders, but they do not appear in Outlook or OWA, even though I've configured the Managed Folders Assistant service to run 23 hours a day and have manually initiated folder management tasks using the cmdlet.

Does anyone have any idea why these won't work? I have not installed any Enterprise CALs, but I didn't think I would have to to get this to function, particularly as this is merely a test environment and I don't want to install the CALs in this environment.

Any help would be great.

I tried to do the same thing and assumed it was just me. Pleased to see that even you can't get it to work either. If you get to the bottom of it, do tell!

Just to lend some of my scenario as I have set this up in a test lab as well.

In Outlook they did not appear for over a day, I set them all up in EMC and didnt use the shell for anything. I was extremely frustrated they did not show up.

A day later after a reboot of the Exchange Server for an unrelated reason (and a few reboots of the client I was on) they appeared out of no where.

I can tell you that I did not have any form of CALs and was just using the trial version of Ex2007SP1

Good luck!

Good to know. Let me try a reboot and see what happens.

In theory that should not make a difference as Exchange appears to do everything on the fly. If it *does* fix it, I won't be impressed.

 

[ShackDaddy]

It does not fix it. So far it's been four days and a reboot, and they aren't appearing. This absolutely sucks. I'm supposed to be creating a video for someone of how this "works"... Ha ha...

Have you upgraded to SP1? I really doubt that is the problem but will be the first thing anyone will ask during troubleshooting.

 

[ShackDaddy]

Yep... It was SP1 beta when I ran it. Would it hurt to re-run the non-Beta?

Won't hurt at all. Get yourself to the full SP1, check once more (just in case) and then run my powershell script...
