Description:

When you're running Exchange 2007 in a clustered configuration, you have several options for handling your public fodlers. If all of your mail clients are Outlook 2007 or above and you have no use for public folders, you can actually do away with them becasue Outlook 2007 does not require public folders to be available, however, previous versions do. Outlook 2003 and so forth expect to make two connections - one to the mailbox database, and one to the local public folder database - in order to open the mailbox. If you are going to continue using public folders, you'll need to evaluate how you want to handle them.

This video discusses the placement of Exchange Public folder Databases - either on the Cluster Continious Replication Nodes, or on Normal Exchange Servers and allowing traditional public folder replication to occur. At the end, the instructor demonstrates how to move the Database and Storage Group files into better locations
