XFOR: International Version of InterOrg Does Not Replicate Public Folder

ID: Q218960

The information in this article applies to:

SYMPTOMS

The new feature of Exchange Server, InterOrg, can replicate information between different Organizations. However, InterOrg fails to replicate public folders when Exchange Server is not the English version.


CAUSE

This behavior is because InterOrg queries EntryID from the display name.
