What is the best way to create a Calendar enabled public folder. When I try to create one in Outlook it says I cant because of permissions. I inhereted this server and now do the day to day administration of it. Where and what permissions do I need to apply so I can create public folders of different types.Thanks

The best place to administer public folders is via Exchange System Manager. If you add your user to the security tab with full control you can accomplish most things via Outlook. Many sysadmins install the Administrative Tools directly on their computer, but these should be available on the Exchange Server. *Assuming default installation: Remote Desktop into the Exchange Server (log-in with Admin Priveledges) Click Start Click All Programs Click Microsoft Exchange Click Exchange System Manager Expand Administrative Groups Expand First Administrative Group Expand Folders Right-Click Public Folders Click Properties Click the Security Tab Add your domain account with Full Control Click Ok You should now be able to manage the public folders via Outlook.
