Answer / king iqbal

Confugure the connectors responsible for Slow WaN Links.
Please refer: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/273479

On each individual Exchange connector, you can prevent
public folder referrals. To do this, right-click the
connector, click Properties, and then click to select the
Do not allow public folder referrals check box. By default,
this check box is not selected.

Answer / sri

As mentioned in the KB 273479 , PF refferal is a
functionality that allows Mapi & non mapi clients to access
public folders in remote exchange groups , through
connectors .

Disabling the public folder refferral can be done from
exchange system manager :

Expand First Administrative Group >Servers>Routing
Groups>First Routing Group >Right click on server name
below connectors> Put a check on Disallow public folder
refferrals .

When a client makes a request to public folders a call is
made to the information store which lists out all the
public folders that have the copy of the requested public
folder , the store then makes a call to the routing service
which returns the cost of the connector associated with
the route for the public folder .
