Exchange 2013 Public Folder - Looking for any alternate suggestions please!

[burgemaster]

As Microsoft (for years!) have been guiding everyone away from the use of Public folders, can anyone please recommend any ideas to replace the way that we use Public Folders?

 

We have a script that adds 3x mail enabled public folders to Outlook for all staff members. These are used for "Urgent Staff Notices", "Heads Notices" and "Daily Bulletins"

These are available there and then to everyone from within Outlook at a quick glance as they are always there at the top left in Outlook.

 

We didn't want staff to have to load any additional webpages or log into any other system, we just wanted them there straight away without any additional work at a glance!

 

Does anyone please have an alternative suggestion please?

We are currently a hybrid setup and I would rather avoid the Microsoft exchange/O365 hybrid PS1/CSV PF solution!

 

Thanks in advance
