How Does FolderMatic Work?

Top  Previous  Next

You or your Exchange administrator - will log on as the new Service Account with the prerequisite permissions (or use the Add2Exchange Service Account) and then run FolderMatic.exe or the shortcut on the desktop. 

FolderMatic uses an expanded privilege user account and mailbox logs in and impersonates users and creates folders from a user defined template structure.

The FolderMatic Administrator (Service Account) will select a mailbox (usually the Service Account's mailbox) to create a template folder structure, and then select the desired number of target users (server side mailboxes from the GAL) you then copy the new structure to every destination, keeping track of successes and failures. 

Once you select GO from the FolderMatic interface, the process will complete in a few seconds and then a report of the successes and failures will be presented onscreen.

That's it!

These new folders are often used to create source or destination folders for relationships in Add2Exchange, and they can be used for any business purpose.  

FolderMatic does not delete folders from existing mailboxes, or create new mailboxes.  FolderMatic does not initialize mailboxes.  FolderMatic just makes folder structures of combinations of Calendar, Contact, Task folders and clones the structure to all selected mailboxes that have been opened at least once (initialized).
