When backing up public folders using Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 the following error occurs: Processing mailbox PublicFolderMailbox@xxxxxxxx.onmicrosoft.com failed with error: Failed to synchronize item changes in folder: FOLDERNAME.. Access is denied. Check credentials and try again., ICS synchronization failed.
Either of the following conditions may cause the error: Public folders are not located under the IPM_SUBTREE folder. The Veeam service account lacks permission to access public folders.
Confirm Public Folder is Located Under IPM_SUBTREE Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 only supports backing up public folders located under the IPM_SUBTREE folder. Other locations are not supported (e.g., NON_IPM_SUBTREE). To check if the public folder is located under the IPM_SUBTREE folder, run the following cmdlet and specify credentials used in Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365.
