Apply the latest Exchange Service Pack. From a newsgroup post: "When a public folder is mail enabled, the Web Storage System needs to create an object in Active Directory for that folder. Usually this message indicates a permissions error in ActiveDirectory. Review the Event Viewer for messages from the system attendant."
Also from newsgroup posts: "If you try to pull up properties on the PF objects in ESM, do you get this error: The mail proxy for this folder can not be found. This may be due to replication delays. The mail enabled pages will not be shown. ID no: C1038a21 If so, are you running Win2k SP2? There was a fix for a problem that sounds a lot like this included in Win2k SP2. Alternately, ensure that your computer account is a member of the "Exchange Domain Servers" group in the Users container. In order for the RUS to process objects such as these PFs successfully, your computer account must be a member of this group, and the permissions for this group must be applied throughout the AD."
As per Q309793: "This behavior can occur if the display name of a public folder is longer than 255 characters. The system attendant can neither create a public folder proxy object nor truncate the name.". The article confirms that this is an issue with Exchange 2000.
Q318552 specifies that "These errors can occur when there is a disjoint namespace, where one or more child domains are not under the root domain in the forest.". The latest Exchange service pack should solve the issue.
From Q278441: "This problem can occur if the public folder has not been stamped with a proxy address (for example, pubfolder@ domain.com).". The Q article provides the workaround.
