Public Folders on OWA

External Since: Mar 04, 2005 Posts: 30

Hi all,
I need help. Just built an sbs2003 premium box. Cant access public folders
on OWA, can access via outlook 2003. When I connect to Exchange sys
manager\admin groups\folders\public folders, I get an error "The HTTP service
used by public folders is not available, possible causes are public stores
are not mounted (they are) and the information store service is not running."

ID No c1030af3

Any ideas please...........
