Will too many public folders crash our exchange server?

[MOD Squad]

I run scheduling of appintments for a group totaling approximately 90 users.
I do this through public folders I've created. I am told by our MIS that the
creation of too many public folders will crash our Exchange server. Is that
a possibility? They want to block the creation of public folders. That
would have a negative effect on our ability to schedule matters as we have
for the past three years.

You would do better to ask the experts in the Exchange newsgroup, not the
Outlook newsgroup.

Not unless you make a folder for each appointment or something stupid like
that. Managing that many folders is a PITA though. (If it will be one
shared calendar for all 90, it won't be a problem.)
