FolderMatic™ Clone-A-Folder for Microsoft Exchange enables Exchange Administrators (and users with highly escalated Exchange privileges) to define a template structure of Calendar, Contact and Task folders and then rapidly clone the structure to multiple server-side mailboxes. FolderMatic is a .Net application for Exchange 2000, 2003 and 2003 SBS and can be used separately but is often used as a companion product to Add2Exchange for Calendars, Contacts and Tasks™

How Does FolderMatic Work?

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).

Using FolderMatic

FolderMatic is a server-based and centralized Folder Creation and Management application to clone Outlook folders in a safe, reliable and consistent folder creation.

FolderMatic is currently the most powerful Exchange Folder Creation Tool of its kind in the world. With this new release, FolderMatic has been redeveloped in the latest from Microsoft, the .Net (Dot Net) Framework (will run on both 2.x or 3.x), a broader platform capable of rapidly changing and improving to accommodate the ever changing Microsoft Security and Exchange patches. FolderMatic can be loaded directly on the Exchange Server or on a File Server with Exchange System Manager installed. FolderMatic COULD be loaded on a workstation with Outlook and the optional CDO component installed, but is not recommended since a third party product to eliminate the Outlook Security warnings is required.

Once FolderMatic is set up and configured properly to run, the FolderMatic Administrator makes a template folder structure and when the FolderMatic "GO" button is pushed, the structures from the Source are copied to the Destination mailboxes for Calendars, Contacts or Task folders.

A word of caution: Since FolderMatic is so powerful, we suggest taking a moment to check the desired results against your settings BEFORE you press the GO! button. At this time, there is no undo button.

The trial FolderMatic will make folders for 21 days. It will also only allow you to make 20 folder clones and only 3 at a time.  Once licensed, it can make an unlimited number of folder clones as desired at one time.

• FolderMatic makes one tree structure at a time and it can be copied to as many users listed in the Global Address List (GAL) as desired. Obviously the destination user can not be hidden from the GAL during this copy process.
  
• The folders created in FolderMatic can be synchronized to a user's mobile device if it is included in the Send/Receive Settings of ActiveSync, Intellisync, Windows Mobile or whatever other software you use to get information from Outlook into the mobile device.
  
• FolderMatic does not copy existing structures from one mailbox to another, nor does it copy the information contained in the folders.
  
• FolderMatic only works with Server Side Mailboxes, and not personal mailbox folders (not PST files).
  
• The new FolderMatic is faster, conserves resources, is more powerful and manageable, works with almost any mobile device, and does not require a machine to be logged on after folder creation is complete.
  
  Note: Often these new folders that are created must be manually added as inclusions to the Send/Receive Settings in Outlook or your synchronization software. If they are not appearing on your mobile device, check there.
  
• Reporting is Clearer. FolderMatic has better reporting for successes and failures and automatically time dates and stamps the reports.
  
• Unlimited Number of Folder depths Built from one template. FolderMatic now can make a template of unlimited depth of folders of any folder combination of Calendars, Contacts and Tasks and then copy it to an unlimited number of selected domain users server side mailboxes.
  
• Optimized for speed. The folder creation routine has been optimized for speed for more controlled resource management.
