How does one create a public folder in Exchange 5.5? Just a short step by step would be fine, or a link to an article. I'm lost!

Sorry the link needs a login.... so , instead:

goto www.microsoft.com --> click on search --> microsoft.com --> type "create public folders" and choose the fith or sixth item on the list... "top-level folder creation" etc. depending on your interest.

Create a microsoft login if you need to... it's free.

You would think that in the Exchange Server 5.5 help, or in the TechNet articles online, that they would mention folder creation is done only from the client.

Create a public folder from within Outlook. Browse through the folders in the Exchange Directory, and select "All Public Folders". Click the File menu, then choose Folders-->New Folder. Enter the name of the new public folder, and select the typeof items to be stored in the folder.
Once the folder has been created, select the new folder, and click "File --->Folder--->Propetries for "name of the folder" to assign folder permissions etc.

Of Course! I didn't even think about using the client (Outlook2000), I was trying to find a way to create a public folder from the Exchange Administrator. Thanks for the right direction.

Hilight the "All public folder" right click add new folder if you have rights then you will be able to create the folder after creating the folder you have to give right to user who need access to the folder. Hilight the "your created folder" right click permission tab and give right to user
