Status of Public Folder Issue on Exchange Server

As many of you have noticed, shared department Public Folders on the Exchange server have been having intermittent problems lately. We will likely be experiencing more public folder issues today as we troubleshoot the cause of the problem. Public folders may continue to be unstable as we proceed forward with failing over services. We apologize for the inconvenience & thank you for your patience. We will update the Help Desk blog when all issues have been resolved.
