Problems setting up Organizational Form Lib in SBS 2003

[BillFL]

Answer to your questions is yes and yes.

I found an article by Sue Mosher at winntmag.com (Instant Doc #22850) and
tried to follow it. However SBS 2003 X seems to be laid out different.
Following referenced KB 271816 but
I dont see an administrative group or an Org Forms Library set up. I assume
I should set up a Org Form Lib. folder as the first sub folder of EFORMS ?
However I I had already set up the WYWO form under EFORMS
before there was a Org Form Lib folder set up. I have tried to delete it but
I get error message C1030afi error.

If I try to set up a new folder under EFORMS REG. The Language settings do
not have English (USA) available.
So can I rename the While you were out folder to ORG LIB and go on or do I
have a major mess to clean up?

I don't know what you mean by "set up the WYWO form under EFORMS"? What
exactly did you do? How are you trying to delete it?

You must set up the Organizational Forms library before you try to use
Outlook to publish forms to it. The procedure described in
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=244591 works for Exchange 2003 as well as
2000. Under the top-level organization in Exchange System Manager, you
should see Global Settings, Recipients, Administrative Groups, and Tools.
Under Administrative Groups, there should be at least one administrative
group. If not, then you probably do not have Exchange 2003 completely
configured yet.

I don't know what you mean by "set up the WYWO form under EFORMS"? What
exactly did you do? Do you mean that you created a folder named WYWO, which
is in reality now your English-USA Organizational Forms library? And now you
can't delete it? If so, yes, that is a mess. Try renaming it to
Organizational Forms.

In attempting to publish the WYWO form I created the folder "While you were
out" as the first subfolder under EFORMS REGISTRY before I knew an
organization forms folder needed to be setup. ( I followed the SBS 2003 set
up checklist religiously to the letter. Is there another check list of items
such as this Org Lib set up that I missed?

To try and delete: Under Start.Programs,Microsoft Exchange, System Manager,
Folders,Public Folders, view system folders, right click on first subfolder
of EFORMS REGISTRY which is While You Were Out, select delete get the
c130afi error.

I am able to rename the file to Organizational Forms and have now done so.
(This apparently is one folder for all forms in one language). So since I
was able to rename it I probably dont have a problem ?

Thanks for the help.

The only way to find out is to publish a form to it and then try to launch
that form.

I followed KB244591 however there is no Administrative Group folder all the
other folders are there. This is SBS 2003 is that perphaps why there is no
Admin Group? I have followed the setup to do list and there was no
separate config instructions for Exchange. Is there a checklist or KB I
should followup with?

I have renamed the While you were out folder to Organizational Forms and yes
it apparently is my English Forms folder.

Thanks again for the help and the numereos excellent articles you have on
the web. I am ordering your book.

SBS 2003 uses Exchange 2003. Exchange resources at Microsoft start at
http://www.microsoft.com/exchange/ and are extensive.

One question: If you did not find an administrative group, though, how did
you get to the Folders under the administrative group entry in order to
create the Organizational Forms folder?

Another question: Did the form work after you renamed the org forms folder?

To set up organization form was not apparent took some trial and error:

Went to : Folders, Public Folders, right click on Public folders, select
New, a little drop down appears with only one option organizational form,
click on it

The form is working but I am not sure if it is accessing it from the Org
Library or from the local running of whileout.exe download. You have a
quick way of telling?

Forms Manager seems to be working much different in SBS 2003 compared to the
instructions in the articles about WYWO. Not at all intuitive from the
articles to where it is.

Thanks so much for all the help.

Again

There is no way to tell where Outlook loads a form from. I'd recommend that
you publish it under a different message class so the two are different.
