Your company has offices in Miami, Singapore and Montreal. An Active Directory site exists for each
office. You have an Exchange Server 2013 organization that contains a server in each site. Each
server has the Mailbox server role and the Client Access Server role installed. All users connect to
the Miami servers to retrieve the public folder hierarchy. You need to create several public folders
on the server in the Singapore office to meet the following requirements:
• Ensure that the public folders are available if a single Mailbox server fails.
• Ensure that the users in the Singapore office connect to their local server to retrieve the
public folder hierarchy.
Which actions should you perform? (Each correct answer presents part of the solution. Choose all
that apply.)

A.
Create a new public folder mailbox.

B.
Create a new public folder database.

C.
Run the Add-MailboxDatabaseCopycmdlet.

D.
For each mailbox in the Singapore office, run the Set-Mailbox cmdlet and specify the –
defaultpublicfoldermailbox parameter.

E.
Run the Set-PublicFolderDatabasecmdlet.

F.
For each public folder mailbox, run the Set-Mailbox cmdlet and specify the –
defaultpublicfoldermailbox parameter.

Explanation:
Public Folders
Public folders can also be used as an archiving method for distribution groups. When you mailenable a public folder and add it as a member of the distribution group, email sent to the group is
automatically added to the public folder for later reference.
Public folders are designed for shared access and provide an easy and effective way to collect,
organize, and share information with other people in your workgroup or organization.
Public folders help organize content in a deep hierarchy that’s easy to browse. Users will see the full
hierarchy in Outlook, which makes it easy for them to browse for the content they’re interested in.
Public folder architecture
In Exchange 2013, public folders were re-engineered using mailbox infrastructure to take advantage
of the existing high availability and storage technologies of the mailbox database. Public folder
architecture uses specially designed mailboxes to store both the public folder hierarchy and the
content. This also means that there’s no longer a public folder database. High availability for the
public folder mailboxes is provided by a database availability group (DAG).

There is no database-level setting in Exchange 2013. Exchange 2013 has a mailbox-level ability to
specify the public folder mailbox, but by default Exchange auto-calculates the per-user hierarchy
mailbox.

NOT F
Need to set it in the Singapore Office.
Miami users still use the Miami servers to connect to the public folder hiearchy.
A) Need to create a public folder mailbox in the Singapore office.
C) Use the Add-MailboxDatabaseCopy cmdlet to create a passive copy of an existing active mailbox database.
D) Use the Set-MailboxServer cmdlet to modify attributes on a computer running Microsoft Exchange
Server 2013 with the Mailbox server role installed.
In Exchange 2007 and Exchange 2010, you could specify which users had access to specific public
folders. In Exchange 2013, you can set the default public folder mailbox per user. To do so, run the
Set-Mailbox cmdlet with the DefaultPublicFolderMailbox parameter.
This ensures that the users in the Singapore office connect to their local server to retrieve the public
folder hierarchy.
