Exchange Server - dismount public folder store

Hello all

I am running Exchange 2007 sp2 I have one mailbox server and two HT\CAS
serves in a WNLB configuration. I have configured and setup exchange web
services and autodiscover. If I dismount the public folder store users
cannot see details of meetings they book into resource mailboxes, they can
see free\busy info, but no details. If I mount the public folder store then
they can see the details of the meetings. Also I have also noticed once the
publicfolder store has been dismounted, some users cant see the GAL, but
other users can. All clients are running Outlook 2007 sp2.

It seems my exchange server still has some dependency on the public folders,
but I cant figure out what it is? when I test to see if autodiscover is
working the test comes back successful, and I have not problems downloading
the OAB.

Thanks for any suggestions

That sounds really odd since the details are not in the free-busy system
public folder or the Availability Service, they are read from the calendars
in the mailboxes themselves.  You should make sure that Web Services,
particularly the Availability Service, is properly configured and
operational.
