Public Folders with W2K

Funny how we never really know when we are happy. For me Exchange 5.5 on W2k was heaven but for various reasons I opted to “upgrade”.The ADC has made a fine mess of my public folders.They are no longer mailenabled resulting inlarge volume of NDRs.The bandaid fix was of course to create an acct with multiple alias’s.When I try to enable or some other administrative task I often get Access denied or “the mailbox proxy for this folder….” and suggests waiting until replication has occured…wait a sec..I am not replicating! I only have one mail Server! Why can’t life ever be like 5.5 again…I am tempted to commit a weekend to reinstalling 5.5…unless I am missing something…please!!
